15 min - S5:Ep3 Common job interview mistakes to avoid
As a careers professional I conduct several practice interviews a week. I've received many a testimonial about how my honest feedback gives clients the push they need to go on to secure the role.
In today's episode, I'll be sharing with you the 6 common mistakes people make in job interviews and how you can avoid making them yourself. These are:
1. A lack of research on the company
2. Not articulating a real reason for wanting the role beyond money or reputation of the organisation
3. Focusing purely on what they can get from the organisation rather than what they can do for them
4. Not having examples ready for all skills mentioned in the job description
5. Unstructured responses
6. Not having a sensible question to ask at the end of the interview

8 min - S5:Ep1 How to fall in love with networking
I’m starting Season 5 with ‘networking’ because I know it’s an area people are uncomfortable with, but it is ESSENTIAL for having a successful career. It’s a natural strength of mine and therefore I'm happy to share my insights on the topic. It may not be what you expect.
By the end of this episode, I hope you get to view networking as a fun and enjoyable activity, rather than something you dread.
Get interactive with me. Get in touch with any of your own networking tips to help other listeners; if you've tried any of the challenges from this episode and how it's work for you. I'd love to give you a shout out on the podcast!
