Interview Boss What no one tells you about Interview Case Studies & Presentations
Feeling totally unprepared for a take home task or presentation in an interview? You're not alone.
From pitching marketing strategies to solving a business problem or presenting what you'd tackle in your first 90 days, more employers are asking their candidates to show their skills, not just talk about them.
But how are you supposed to provide insights for a company you don't even work at yet?! And what if they steal your ideas?!
In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma address these common fears.
We explain how much time to spend preparing, what the employer is looking for and why showing your thinking matters way more than having all the answers.

"Hey interview boss queens, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your content. I was a regular listener for your podcast for about 12 months while I searched for a job (I am a project manager, working in commercial media). I networked, polished my resume, interviewed over and over again. I got close thrice (second interview, final stage) only to be rejected due to more specialised applicants. Your acknowledgement of how hard the mental struggle is to persist was really validating I'm so pleased to say I've just signed a contract on a new job which comes with a $17k pay rise, with commission and higher earning potential in the future!! It's a strategy & sales role, the perfect fit for me. Your interview tips, best bits packaging, and frank advice on starting with the resume, as well as how to network all got this over the line for me (I previously worked at the same company as the Head of Sales and reached out to them who invited me to apply). YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. If I can leave my own tip, I always read 'The First 90 Days' by Michael D. Watkins when I start a new job, all about what to do in the first 90 days to set yourself up for success. I am so glad I can finally dust this off the shelf again!!! Thanks so much Emma and Sarah.”
