How to Talk About Bad Work Experiences in a Job Interview, with Stephanie Heath

There are many reasons you may have had a negative work experience; the question is, how do you communicate it to a hiring manager without sounding vindictive or like you’re hiding something? Find Your Dream Job guest Stephanie Heath says it’s crucial to be honest because the truth will out. Stephanie suggests owning your part, not over-sharing, and venting with a friend before an interview. Spend more time focusing on what you want from your next position than you spend on what was wrong with the negative experience you had.
