Find Your Dream Job: Insider Tips for Finding Work, Advancing your Career, and Loving Your Job

Words to Use and Lose in Your Next Job Interview, with Tracy Hooper


Listen Later

Do you pay close attention to the actual words you use in an interview? We all say, “um” sometimes, but does it really matter? If you feel nervous when meeting with a hiring manager, you might use fillers, disclaimers, or hedge words. According to Find Your Dream Job guest Tracy Hooper, those extra words are making you appear less than confident. If you’re ready to lose the words that sabotage your confidence, Tracy suggests recording yourself, working on losing one hedge word per month, and practicing using positive language.
