Here’s what you can expect from this episode:
There is nothing more disheartening than when an interview is going so well, and the interviewer probes you about something that you don't feel as confident about. You start worrying about whether you should stretch the truth or just come clean. But there is a way that you can answer these questions confidently.
In this episode, I'm giving you a simple framework to follow when you're in an interview, and you get asked about something that you've never done before. I’ll break down how to discuss related experiences by treating them like pieces of a larger puzzle, how to draw parallels to similar skill sets from past roles and how to showcase transferable skills.
This episode is packed with insights to help you ace your interviews and gain credibility. So, tune in and learn how to strategically convey your skills and approach to future roles.
