I Took My Own Advice: How I Prepped to Interview After 12 Years

from Your Worthy Career · host Melissa Lawrence

I coach women through interviews all the time. So when I had to sit in one myself, for the first time in over 12 years, I learned something I want you to hear. Even though interviewing is something I teach regularly, doing it myself, under pressure, with the outcome out of my hands, was a different experience. So I recorded a raw voice memo the moment I walked out, before I knew if I got in. In this episode I play you that unedited memo, then break down exactly what I did so you can do it too.In this episode, you'll learn:Why I prepared with bullets instead of a script, and what I put on that list before I had my panel interviewThe kinds of questions I asked that took the interrogation feeling out of the room and got me real answersWhat I watched for across everyone I talked to, and what that one pattern told me about the cultureThe question almost nobody asks at the end of an interview, and why one interviewer lit up when I asked itWhy the confidence I felt walking out had nothing to do with whether I got the spotI received the outcome two months later. I'll tell you how it went, and why the answer matters less than you think.REGISTER: The next Strategy Hour for Women in Pharma and Biotech is July 9th.
