It starts long before that.I talk about:Why the “best on paper” candidate often losesWhat actually makes someone the strongest candidate in the roomHow positioning yourself differently changes your negotiation powerWhy some people can push back on salary… and others can’tIf you’ve ever wondered why someone less experienced got the job or how people negotiate higher salaries so confidently this episode will change how you think about interviews.---I help my clients become the strongest candidate in the room.Create Your Own Lane my 1:1 coaching program is open.Click the link below to book your free call so we can get started. ⁠ click here⁠Enjoyed the episode?
