00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.140
Welcome to My Career Journey, a podcast that
00:00:03.140 --> 00:00:05.400
highlights different career paths, tackles tough
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:07.960
topics, and shares actionable tips and insights.
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.859
I'm Emily. And I'm Allegra. We're your hosts
00:00:11.859 --> 00:00:15.240
and both career switchers. In each episode, we'll
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.640
talk about our experiences, learn from others,
00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:20.199
and help you find happiness and success in your
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:26.309
career journey. Let's get into it. Hi, everyone,
00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:28.410
and thank you so much for joining us for a special
00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:30.809
episode about the release of our interview prep
00:00:30.809 --> 00:00:34.329
guide. We created this based on our deep dive
00:00:34.329 --> 00:00:37.270
episode on interview prep, which you can listen
00:00:37.270 --> 00:00:39.450
to anywhere you get your podcasts and also watch
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.710
on YouTube. I feel like we need a trumpet to
00:00:42.710 --> 00:00:47.020
announce this new exciting resource. For anyone
00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:49.320
that listened to this episode, you know, we talked
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.299
about a lot of stuff and we realized it was a
00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:56.100
lot. And so Emily and all of her wisdom had this
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.759
idea to think that it'd probably be helpful to
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.560
see what we shared organized in a ready to go
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.829
document. So that's what we did. We broke down
00:01:05.829 --> 00:01:08.129
the approach that we shared on our episode into
00:01:08.129 --> 00:01:11.409
four basic steps and wrote it out with the goal
00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:13.689
of giving you a starting point, which hopefully
00:01:13.689 --> 00:01:16.709
helps you feel more prepared and confident going
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:19.829
into your next interviews. So this guide is basically
00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:22.930
a series of tips and best practices that come
00:01:22.930 --> 00:01:25.810
directly from our experiences. And everything
00:01:25.810 --> 00:01:27.909
in the guide is stuff that we've actually used
00:01:27.909 --> 00:01:31.030
and found helpful. So just to give you a sense
00:01:31.030 --> 00:01:34.250
of... the main things that are in there. We have
00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:36.450
what Allegra mentioned, the simple four -step
00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:39.969
approach, and also how to organize your interview
00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:43.189
prep information, what to research before the
00:01:43.189 --> 00:01:46.769
interviews, where to find that information, questions
00:01:46.769 --> 00:01:49.129
to prepare for, and what you can ask interviewers
00:01:49.129 --> 00:01:52.069
as well, prompts to help you write down experiences
00:01:52.069 --> 00:01:55.090
that tell your story, and also ways to practice
00:01:55.090 --> 00:01:57.629
interviewing so you feel more confident. And
00:01:57.629 --> 00:01:59.090
there's a lot more in there, but those are the
00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:03.349
main things. What I love about this, it's the
00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:06.489
one -stop shop. Everything is in one place. And
00:02:06.489 --> 00:02:08.610
I know when both of us started preparing for
00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:10.909
interviews, we spent a ton of time researching
00:02:10.909 --> 00:02:14.650
everything. Everything from how do I tell my
00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:16.930
story in a way that feels authentic, but tells
00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:20.129
these people what they need to know? What should
00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:22.990
I know about the company? What might they ask?
00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:26.169
Everything. We know it can be overwhelming. So
00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:28.849
hopefully this saves you a lot of time and some
00:02:28.849 --> 00:02:31.490
stress too. So we're trying something new here,
00:02:31.590 --> 00:02:33.770
