Want to feel confident going into it and know you&#8217;ve got the job? My video on how to prepare for a job interview will put you in the right direction for success!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When preparing for a job interview, we can sometimes get caught up in thoughts of worry or anxiety. This is SO natural. Job interviews are a time when you KNOW you are being judged. AND the outcome of that judgement determines part of your future.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this video, I cover a few ways to prepare, and feel confident; but also remind you that this is a time for YOU to determine if this job is right for you. Remember, anytime you are being interviewed, you should also be interviewing back.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funny story: when I was receiving a five year service award, my boss jokingly recounted that my interview felt more like I was interviewing HIM than him interviewing me. Although that was 100% what I was going for, I am glad that I showed curiosity to make sure the job was a right fit!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me know what you think of this video: How to prepare for a job interview for success!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-885e8f4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"885e8f4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c85676\" data-id=\"3c85676\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-253fcd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"253fcd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/WiR5BIINKJE&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing for a job interview?
