Today, I want to talk about behavioral interview questions. Specifically, where do they come from? How can you know what you’re going to be asked so you can prepare appropriate CARL stories? The answer to these questions begins with the job description. We’ll work through how to best prepare yourself for these questions and then stick around to the end for our DIY vs. DFY segment!

This week, I wanted to give you a peek inside my coaching practice…to pull the curtain back, Wizard of Oz-style. Sure, I mention the various things I do with clients throughout episodes, but I’ve never given you the full tour. Here we go.

With so many people job searching right now, I wanted to do a deep dive on a particular aspect of the job search. We’ll start by comparing some networking strategies: “The Tommy Gun Approach” and “The Bow-and-Arrow Approach.” This leads us into a conversation about what might be important to you in a company while you’re job searching so you can set up tiers based on your non-negotiables. This strategy will help you be more intentional in your job search while also providing you a more organic approach to getting your foot in the door.

Today, we’re talking about researching an employer who has sought you out for an interview. However, it is important to research employers BEFORE you apply for a job. In this episode, we’ll be covering answers to questions like: Where should you look for this information? What should you be looking for? How do you analyze the information you garner to make a decision as to whether you should apply to that company?
