I wanted to thank you for your podcast, you changed my whole mindset of interviews! My I had a few in the past few weeks and they were all soo different from the last. My interview last week was awful! The lady was so rude, was talking to me like I was in a disciplinary meeting.. I usually would have gotten upset and flustered, but instead I knew this was just as much for me as it was for them! So I started asking her questions, turned the tables and she soon stopped trying to walk over me. I made the call myself and called the recruiter who arranged the meeting that I didn’t vibe and have no interest in working with her. Apparently the other interviewers loved me and so no bridges burnt there thankfully!My last interview went for over an hour! I loved their attitudes and asked them loads of questions that I’d prepared thanks to you girls ❤️ they called me an hour afterwards to say they loved me and when could I start!!It’s such a relief, I’ve been in an awful toxic work place the past few years and am on maternity leave and was dreading going back.. so I wanted to thank you (again!) for all your support and advice. Listened to eye of the tiger on my way as well as your pre interview pep talk and what a vibe 😂👏🏼 x”📄 To book an interview coaching session with Sarah, go to www.interviewboss.com.au/coaching 💌  Follow us on Instagram💻  Check out our website for free jobseeker resourceswww.interviewboss.com.au
