One thing that always garners a lot of consternation, a lot of debate and a lot of really strong opinions is- the interview portfolio. Go into any social media group and ask about school counseling portfolios and interviews, and the conversation goes wild! Everybody has an opinion on whether or not you need a portfolio,
if you don't,
they've "never been asked for one,"
"I have been asked for one,"
"I put this in it...",
"I put that in it..."
and the conversation explodes into this huge amalgamation of confusion.

In this episode, I'll reveal what I recommend for your portfolio approach, and no surprise- it's going to be at odds with a lot of the popular "advice" that you hear elsewhere.  But unlike others who pontificate and run, I have a rationale and proof that this approach works.

Do you remember when you were a student when you would cram for an exam or a quiz, memorize everything you could to try to ace the exam, and then got to the test and discovered that not a dang thing that you'd studied was on that test?

Or maybe there were a few curveball questions about things you SWORE were never talked about in class, were never on the study guide, and you had the WORST sinking feeling like, "Ah! I can't believe I don't know this!!!" Do you remember those days?

We're going to be talking about that in this episode of the Get the Job Podcast. We're talking about the famous ASCA interview question list: why you should beware that list and why question prepping doesn't work.

This episode is going to blow your mind because there are so many so-called interview prep programs completely focused on this question list- but  I'm telling you right now, if you're preparing for interviews that way, you're doing it flat wrong.

Typically, the first 90 seconds of your interview experience will decide whether or not you get the job.  It's something that people don't often talk about because common interview "advice" is not necessarily given from a research based perspective.

If you could learn how to get your interviewers invested in hiring you in the first 90 seconds of your interview, would you do it?

When you follow common interview "advice," you virtually guarantee that you're making the remainder of the interview even more difficult for yourself than anticipated. Join us to learn how to begin your interview strong and position yourself as their ideal candidate.

Interviewing for jobs is scary and the unknowns of the process are unsettling: not knowing what you're going to be walking into, not knowing the questions that you're going to be asked, not knowing what the outcomes are going to be.

As a result, it is common for folks to overemphasize and overcomplicate the creation of their  résumé because it gives  the FEELING of  control in the job search process.

School counselor friend, if you're under the impression that your résumé is paramount to your chances of getting your school counseling job, or if you feel that endlessly revising and tweaking your résumé is the only way that you can have control over your job interview process, you've got to change your perspective- NOW!

One thing school counselor applicants don't count on is the lengths that prospective principals or administrators will go to gain access to info in your social media profiles.
