Interview Boss

228: FYI: The Interview Starts Long Before the First Question!


Listen Later

Think the interview starts with the first question? Think again.

From the moment you answer the phone, walk through reception, or meet the person collecting you from the lobby, employers are already forming an impression.

In this episode, Sarah and Emma unpack the overlooked moments that can make or break your chances, including how you treat support staff, common mistakes candidates make before and after the formal interview, and why some hiring decisions are influenced long before anyone sits down at the table.

šŸ€ Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Elen who bought us a coffee!

ā€œHi Emma and Sarah! THANK YOU for creating the Interview Boss podcast and helping all of us reach our career goals. And a shout out to my sister Freya too for putting me on to you guys! I am a medical doctor in the UK. You rightly acknowledge that things are a little different interview-wise for this kind of job compared to other fields, but I want you to know that I found the Interview Boss podcast so helpful in the run-up to an important interview I had. In particular the episodes on 'best bits,' on thinking really deeply about the scenarios you choose to prepare as answers, and the episode for immediately post-interview. I got written feedback on my interview. I made sure I got in my 'best bits', and they landed with the interviewers and made the impression I was hoping they would, because they relayed my 'best bits' back to me in my (amazing!!) feedback. Reading the feedback makes me feel very proud, and what's more, I got offered the job: a training post as an anesthetist! Thank you very much for your insight and guidance, it's empowering and it works. I will be coming back to Interview Boss again and recommending it to people in my life. Love from the UK, Elen.ā€
