In the second part of our Third Fork series on interviews, Tansley and Ryan shift focus to external job opportunities, when your growth journey calls you beyond your current workplace.

Whether you’re passively exploring or actively applying, this episode offers practical insights on:

• How to prepare for external interviews without losing your authenticity
• Navigating loyalty and transparency with your current leader
• What to ask (and what to avoid) in a first conversation
• Why preparing your current leader to root for you is part of the process
• How to stay aligned with your personal values and career goals

If you're stepping into the unknown, Ryan and Tansley remind you: external opportunities aren’t just about new roles, they’re about renewed clarity on what matters most.
