How to prepare for interview

If you’re applying for a role or preparing for an interview you’re going to want to listen to this episode. if you’re not, save this episode so you can find it when the time comes, because this one is a game changer

If you’re applying for a role or preparing for an interview you’re going to want to listen to this episode. if you’re not, save this episode so you can find it when the time comes, because this one is a game changer

Today we’re talking about how to prepare for interviews. Not what to say in an interview. But how you say it.

Because communicating your skills, experience and fit for a role isn’t just about the words you choose. It’s about the energy you transmit when you delivery those words.

You can be the best fit on paper, but if this is communicated with uncertainty and doubt you could lose out to someone far less qualified but way more sure.

I want to make sure this doesn’t happen to you.

What you won’t get in this episode is strategy – what to say or how to answer specific questions at interview.

But here’s what you will get: the piece you’ve been overlooking in your preparation and delivery that will raise your interview performance to another level: Mindset

Here’s what we cover:

  1. What mindset is and why it’s so important to get right
  2. The exact mindset I recommend for both preparation stage and interview stage
  3. How to adopt the mindset you need, even when it doesn’t feel true

You’ll come away feeling more confident about yourself as a candidate and better equipped to perform in every interview and massively improve your chances of success as a result

Happy listening
