Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast 208: How to Handle Illegal Interview Questions and Prioritizing Career Well-being with Ana Goehner
Ever found yourself in the hot seat, fielding uncomfortable questions during a job interview and wondering how best to respond? We've all been there, and our distinguished guest, career strategist and well-being expert Anna Gaynor, is here to guide us through those tricky situations. An inspiring figure who’s been featured in Time Magazine and Fast Company, Anna shares her personal journey of overcoming a health crisis and finding her way to career well-being.
Join us as we unpack the concept of career well-being, defined as intentionally caring for one's health and well-being as much as career goals. We dive into the complex terrain of illegal interview questions, with Anna bringing her wealth of HR expertise to bear on the topic. This isn’t just theoretical, we're sharing practical advice, real-life scenarios, and personal anecdotes on how to handle these questions professionally, putting you back in control during job interviews.
This episode isn’t just about interviews, though. From discussing the importance of disconnecting from work to reconnect with oneself and loved ones, to focusing on skills and qualifications during interviews, we've got you covered. Anna's insights on standing out in the interview process and her emphasis on job satisfaction are gems not to be missed. So, grab your notepad and tune in for an enlightening conversation on career well-being and mastering job interviews. Remember, your well-being matters as much as your career goals, and we're here to help you strike that balance.
