Why Your Career Story Matters Most in a Job Interview, with Melissa Magaña

We all dread the question, tell me about a time you made a mistake in your job. But if we can address our mistakes as simply a piece of our entire career story, we can change the feeling of shame and uncertainty we may feel.
