189: Our favourite green flags in the interview process
Interview Boss
Interviewers who understand the role
Sarah notes it's positive when everyone you meet gives a consistent picture of the job.
You’re deep in the interview process and wondering…is this place actually going to be a good fit?
In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma unpack the subtle green flags to look out for throughout the hiring process - things that can give you insight into what the company’s really like to work for. From interviewers who clearly know the role and team, to honest conversations about the challenges of the job, to getting a genuine sense of the company culture and values, these clues can help you figure out if you’ll thrive there.
While no single sign tells the whole story, these insights can help you read between the lines before accepting an offer.
🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Milah who bought us 3 coffees!
“Dearest Emma & Sarah, I don’t know how to fully thank you. First, thank you for highlighting real people and their stories. It has helped me to feel like I’m not alone in the job process. Second, thank you for sharing your adorable Aussie accent, hilarious jokes, and amazing wisdom! After moving across the state almost a year ago, feeling frustrated in the job search, and recently deciding to leave my job due to unfair circumstances, I found out last week that I landed a role at a bank that I was really hoping to get after two interviews and with no banking experience! It has amazing pay and benefits, and I’m truly just so grateful. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the timing of landing this job paralleled discovering your podcast! Thank you for helping me feel like I have something of value to offer employers and find my footing in showcasing that during interviews! I truly think we’d be great friends in real life. I love your content; I also have a sister in real life and love that you gals get to do this together. A couple of questions…do you guys love Bluey as much as we do in the states?? Also, is this allowing you to buy a real coffee? If so, from a fellow coffee lover, what’s your go-to drink order? Thanks again! Milah A, Michigan, USA”
