There's nothing quite like getting an interview for a job that you're excited for. You're thrilled! A job is on the horizon! And then comes reality: oh crap, I have an interview to prepare for.

Interviewing can bring up issues you're struggling with (hello insecurity and people-pleasing tendencies), and get you caught-up in your own head. Add to that the current job environment. So how do you put your best foot forward and navigate an already-stressful situation without making it harder on yourself?

Today, we're chatting about how to set yourself up for success in an interview, and breaking down how your own psychology comes into play. We discuss why you need to frame the job outcome at the beginning of the process, how to be confident without being cocky, and why it's okay to let your personality shine.

We also talk about body language and non-verbal behaviors, the importance of humor in diffusing a tense situation, how to gauge office culture, and why interviewing needs to be a two-way street.
