How to Win at Job Interviews


Listen Later

Job interviews are meant to reveal the best people for the job, but too often, they don’t. Candidates feel lost in the process, managers make rushed decisions, and both sides leave thinking, 'that could’ve gone better.'

In this episode, Sam Grill—a hiring manager who’s sat on both sides of the table—breaks down the interview process step by step. He explains what really happens behind the scenes, how decisions are made, and why small mistakes can cost big opportunities.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Prepare and structure your interviews to uncover real capability
  • Ask better questions that reveal fit, mindset, and impact
  • Spot red flags early and avoid bias in decision-making
  • Present yourself clearly and confidently as a candidate

Whether you’re running interviews or trying to ace them, this conversation gives you a clear, honest look at how interviews actually work, and how to win at them.

Plus, Sam leaves behind a free digital handout: a practical framework of interview questions for both candidates and hiring managers to plan, prepare, and evaluate effectively.
