Before Your Next Job Interview, Listen to This — with Deborah Klein Glasser ’90

If you’re a college student getting ready for recruiting season—or the parent of one—this episode could not come at a better time.Deborah Klein Glasser knows the job search from both sides. After Cornell, she built a career in marketing and consulting at companies including Pepsi, Colgate, PwC and Starwood Hotels, earned her MBA from Wharton, and today, as the founder of Pathfinder Consulting, helps college students and young professionals figure out what they want, tell their story and stand out in a very competitive job market.We talk about what actually makes a candidate memorable, how to use the Cornell alumni network without sounding transactional, why networking can feel a lot like dating, and how to answer that dreaded interview question: “What’s your biggest weakness?”Deborah also tells us whether an Ivy League degree really gives you an advantage, what to do after an interview, how persistent is too persistent, and why parents need to know when to help—and when to step away.And somehow a serious conversation about interviewing leads to Michelle’s disastrous typing test, Deb’s cheap green interview suit and Steph nearly losing circulation in her leg during a law school interview.Whether you’re looking for an internship, preparing for on-campus recruiting, starting your first job search—or trying to help someone who is—Deborah’s advice makes the whole process feel a little less intimidating and a lot more manageable. She's warm, smart and FUN!You can find out more about her company here: https://www.pathfindercareerconsulting.com/And you can reach out to her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahglasser/Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University
