Interview Boss

Your phone rings, it’s a number you don’t recognise. You answer and realise it’s a recruiter calling about a job you applied for. Does this mean you’ve landed an interview? Maybe! But you could also be about to have what’s called a phone screening interview.

In this episode we explain what a phone screening interview is and why it’s used. We talk about some common mistakes that candidates mistake when they’re caught off guard, and how to make sure you make a great impression and get that interview timeslot!

I’m going to hazard a guess and say that if you’re listening to this podcast, you’re the kind of person who is driven, ambitious and want to improve yourself. But what happens when you define your identity by your work? You hold yourself to an almost impossibly high standard, you end up taking too much on for too long, and it’s EXHAUSTING.

This ep was completely impromptu after a chat between Emma and I, but if you’re feeling burnt out, tired, and like everything you’re doing still isn’t enough then I think you’ll get a lot out of this chat. No advice in this ep, just support - we see you, it’s hard.

INTRODUCING a new type of Interview Boss episode - the Interview With a Boss (IWAB). We’ll be chatting to hiring managers in different fields to find out what THEY look for in the hiring process.

Our very first Boss guest is James Malone - who is an experienced Sales Director and has interviewed across companies, industries and role types.

In this episode we talk about James’ own style of interviewing, and how he sorts the great salespeople from the fakers. You’ll get plenty of insights in to how a manager goes through your CV, and why they ask certain questions in the process.

We hope you like this new type of episode, let us know in the Facebook group what industry you’d like us to dive in to next!

You just walked out of a job interview for a job you’re really excited about.

You call your mum on the way home - ‘how did it go?’ she asks. The self-doubt kicks in - you thought it went ok, but did it really? You could have answered that one question a bit better, and you might have been a bit awkward on the way in.

We all do it, it can be so hard to know what to expect after an interview, but there are some clues you can look for which can give you some confidence that your interview went better than you thought!

This is the episode you should put in your headphones on the way out of your interview. We’ll help you work out if you nailed that interview, or if maybe there are signs it didn’t go so well.

At the end of pretty much every interview, you’ll hear ‘so… do you have any questions for us?’ and it’s SO important that you have something to ask! Having smart questions ready shows that you’re prepared, you’re motivated, and that you genuinely want to know more about the business and the job. But MOST importantly you should use questions to genuinely work out whether this is the right job for you! Don’t forget, you’re interviewing the company or team just as much as they are interviewing you!

In this episode we go through 15 questions that you could ask at the end of an interview and talk through the pros and cons. By the end of the episode you’ll have your top 3 picked out ready to wow your panel.
