How To Improve Your Interview Skills
A listener has been doing interviews, but with no job offers. He’s smart enough to recognize the problem is with him – not the job market. How can he become a desired candidate instead of one more frustrated job seeker?
Episode #635 November 09, 2018
Hi, this is Dan Miller – and yes you’re listening to the 48 Days Radio show – where each week we take 48 minutes to dive into real life questions about finding your passion, deciding what kind of life you want to live – and then finding or creating work that allows you to show up every day, excited to be able to do something that is meaningful, fulfilling – and profitable. This is where normal, indecision and ambiguity come to die. Welcome to the 48 Days Radio Show.
Questions:
1. I just finished up my goals for 2019. How flexible are your goals? Do you ever change goals mid-year based on how your year is going?
2. I have bad job interview skills. My resume seems to be working because I do get interviews, but I always get the “we regret to inform you” emails afterword. How can I improve my interview skills?
3. I think I’m too nice to be in business. Can I be too honest and is it detrimental to my long term growth?
4. I don’t love my job but am staying with this because my husband is pursuing a career in freelance art so we need my income to pay the bills.
