178. The Insider's Guide to Job Interviews (with Laura Browne and Barbara Limmer) In this engaging conversation, Susan M Barber hosts Laura Browne and Barbara Limmer, authors of Interview Speak: What Your Interviewer Really Wants to Know. They discuss the intricacies of interviewing, the importance of preparation, and how to effectively navigate difficult questions. The authors share insights on salary negotiations, the role of authenticity in interviews, and the humorous character Clueless Clark, who exemplifies common interview mistakes. The episode emphasizes the need for visibility in one's career and offers practical tips for job seekers. In this episode: Preparation is key to a successful interview. Understanding the true question behind interview questions is crucial. It's important to convey why your experiences matter to the employer. Being authentic in interviews can build rapport with interviewers. Salary discussions should focus on market ranges rather than personal expectations. Clueless Clark serves as a humorous example of what not to do in interviews. Panel interviews require connecting with all members, not just the senior manager. It's okay to be nervous; it shows you're human. Practice makes perfect; rehearse your answers beforehand.

Question for ya… When the interviewer asks you to “tell me about a time when…,” do you: A) Launch into a timeline of tasks you completed? B) Rattle off a list of responsibilities? C) Sound like your own resume? (Oy to the vey.) If so, don't worry. You're not alone. But you are probably leaving value on the table. Here is a capital “T” truth… Most people report work history. Few, if any, tell real stories. Almost no one uses those stories to sell who they truly are. But that's exactly what interview storytelling should be. This week's podcast is one of the most important lessons I can give you on how to elevate your interview game and position yourself as THE standout candidate. Excitement alert: You will squeal with glee if you've ever wondered I'm just a cog in the wheel and my background feels narrow. I'm not sure how to sound valuable or impactful. What you'll learn alert:The real purpose of storytelling in interviews (big hint: it's not just to explain what you did). Why sounding “too junior” is a storytelling issue, not an experience issue. Bulletproof way to reframe your stories so they show off your big-picture thinking and leadership qualities. You're not just there to fill a role. You're there to drive transformation. To show them what's possible when they hire you, you need to…

In dieser Folge erfährst du, warum du trotz sorgfälig vorbereiteter Bewerbungsunterlagen eine Standard-Absage bekommst. Denn der Personaler ist nicht dein Gegner, im Gegenteil: Er ist dein wichtigster Verbündeter im Bewerbungsprozess. Ich zeige dir, wie du seine Perspektive verstehst und gezielt nutzt, um ihn auf deine Seite zu ziehen. Du bekommst fünf konkrete Insider-Tipps, mit denen du deine Bewerbung so gestaltest, dass der Personaler sie nicht nur versteht, sondern auch aktiv unterstützen will. Es geht darum, deine Unterlagen klar und überzeugend zu formulieren, deine Motivation sichtbar zu machen und durch einfache Mittel einen bleibenden ersten Eindruck zu hinterlassen. Wenn du wissen willst, was Personaler wirklich denken, wie du ihre Arbeitsweise für dich nutzt und warum einfache Kommunikation oft der entscheidende Hebel ist, dann ist diese Folge genau das Richtige für dich.
Lisa asked me a great question the other day. “Coach, how do I know which story to tell in a job interview?” Here's what I told her. If you want to win the interview, there's one thing to focus on. Function. As in, what they actually need you to do. Not who you are. Not how nice you seem.What. You. Can. Do. See, you get hired for WHAT you can do. You get fired for WHO you are. So, here's a quick video to you dial in your focus during the interview. In this shortie (well, Coach Andy's version of shortie), I walk through: What to look for in the job description. How to reverse-engineer your stories. And how to match what you say to the work they need done. Because if they don't believe you can do the thing… You don't get the thing. Hope this helps you dial in and dial up your next interview! If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker reconnects with former nursing student turned certified nurse midwife, Liz Carr.

Liz and Rebecca explore the impact of diverse clinical experiences, the challenges of navigating midwifery school without labor and delivery experience, and the transformative power of reproductive justice. Liz also opens up about working in abortion care before and after the fall of Roe v. Wade, how she centers consent and autonomy in every interaction, and why investing in the education of future physicians is one of her biggest hopes for change.

Stupid News Extra 6-12-2025 ...Well, he was late for a Job Interview
Was passiert, wenn man im Bewerbungsgespräch radikal ehrlich ist? Wenn man alle Floskeln weglässt, nichts beschönigt und jede Frage genau so beantwortet, wie man es wirklich denkt – ohne Rücksicht auf Konventionen oder Erwartungen? In dieser Episode probiere ich genau das aus: Ich beantworte typische Fragen aus Bewerbungsgesprächen auf brutal ehrliche Weise – und analysiere, wie solche Antworten wirken. Was passiert, wenn du sagst, dass dein jetziger Chef ein Vollidiot ist, du nur wegen des Geldes wechselst oder die Frage nach deinen Schwächen einfach für dumm erklärst? Wir schauen gemeinsam, wo radikale Ehrlichkeit entlarvend und erfrischend ist – und wo sie zum kompletten Gesprächskiller wird. Du bekommst konkrete Beispiele für provokante Antworten, aber auch eine ehrliche Einschätzung dazu, wie sie im echten Auswahlprozess ankommen. Ich zeige dir, welche Denkfehler dahinterstecken können, warum viele Bewerber damit unbewusst Chancen verspielen – und wie man dieselben Fragen deutlich souveräner und klüger beantworten kann, ohne sich zu verstellen. Wenn du dich schon mal gefragt hast, wie viel Ehrlichkeit im Vorstellungsgespräch eigentlich erlaubt ist – oder ob Authentizität nicht manchmal gefährlich werden kann –, dann hör unbedingt rein. Diese Folge liefert dir nicht nur einen ungeschönten Blick hinter die Kulissen des Recruitings, sondern auch wertvolle Impulse für deinen nächsten Auftritt im Jobinterview.
THE QUEER AWAKENINGS OF A WILD BOY PURSUING THE NOVA EXPRESSOn September 6, 1951, William Burroughs killed his wife, Beat legend Joan Vollmer. At a friend's apartment, she balanced a glass on her head, at Burroughs's behest. He had contracted a lifelong mania for guns from duck-hunting excursions with his father, and was never unarmed if he could help it. He fired a pistol from about nine feet away. The bullet struck Vollmer in the forehead, at the hairline. She was twenty-eight. He was devastated, but readily parroted a story supplied by his lawyer, a flamboyant character named Bernabé Jurado: the gun went off accidentally. Released on bail, Burroughs might have faced trial had not Jurado, in a fit of road rage, shot a socially prominent young man and, when his victim died of septicemia, fled the country. Burroughs did the same, and a Mexican court convicted him in absentia of manslaughter, sentencing him to two years. In the introduction to “Queer,” Burroughs disparages his earlier work and adds, “I am forced to the appalling conclusion that I would never have become a writer but for Joan's death,” because it initiated a spiritual “lifelong struggle, in which I have had no choice except to write my way out.”“There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.”― William S. Burroughs“Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.”― William S. Burroughs, The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs“Nobody owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death.”― William S. Burroughs“Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.”― William S. Burroughs“Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. ”― William S. Burroughs“I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.”― William S. Burroughs“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.”― William S. Burroughs“Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.”― William S. Burroughs“Whether you sniff it smoke it eat it or shove it up your ass the result is the same: addiction.”― william s. burroughs“You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative”― William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch: The Restored Text“The first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible”― William S. Burroughs“If I had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes.”― William S. Burroughs“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.”― William S. Burroughs“When you stop growing you start dying.”― William S. Burroughs, Junky

Last week, my daughter graduated from Loyola University Chicago. After years of watching her build a life—on the field, on the sidelines, in the center of the action—she's stepping into the real world. And like so many graduates right now, she's walking in with drive, uncertainty, and a digital footprint that started long before her first job offer.This episode is a message to her—and to every graduate who needs a little direction that's not sugarcoated. It's a life list. The same one I've given my own kids (sometimes more than once). The same one I use with clients in crisis.In this episode:The top three questions students (and parents) ask me after every keynoteWhy your degree matters less than how well you can read a roomThe habits and mindsets that actually keep reputations intactWhat to say in your first “I don't know what to do” moment at workAnd the one thing every Gen Z grad needs to hear—especially those shaped by the pandemic yearsThis is not motivational filler. It's a real list for the real world. Send it to your grad. Save it for your kid. Or come back to it when your own clarity runs low.Read the entire list here on my PR Breakdown Substack: What No One Tells New Grads About Crisis Communication (And Life) Want More Behind the Breakdown?

There's a spectrum of proficiency, and it starts in the worst possible place. That's when you're unconsciously incompetent—you're not good at something, and worse, you don't even know you're bad at it or what to do about it. Think job interviewing. If you put in some effort, you might move to consciously incompetent stage—you know what you should do (like the strategies your dear Coachy Andy teaches), but you're not quite there yet. Fast forward through the grind, and let's skip some steps for email brevity, until you hit the sweet spot: unconsciously competent. That's when you're so good, it's automatic. You're nailing it without even thinking about it. As your coach, I'm here every week to help you climb this spectrum, especially when it comes to building your career. And let's face it—interviewing is one of the biggest hurdles in career advancement. So, we're tackling that head-on this week. Today, we're uncovering the three most brutal interview killers that trip up 99% of job candidates. Spoiler alert: they're all about storytelling. Let's dive into a story first and fix this once and for all… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.

Are you a rambler? Fast talker? Slow talker? Nervous when asked a question in an interview and curious just how long that ideal answer should be? Or, how to deliver it concisely? Powerfully? Today, it's all about staying on track when you respond to interviewers. Whether your response is one minute, three minutes, or five minutes, it needs to be packaged with the right information, powerful words that paint a picture, and phrases that elicit the feelings you want the interviewer to have about you. That's right. They hire you based on feelings. Why? Because they have to hire you (or not) based on something. And, they don't exactly have enough time to get all the information they'd actually need to know whether you'd be a star. (Even though you and your beloved Coach are already certain that'd be the case.) What's more, they think four times faster than you can talk, so that gives them ample time to imagine. Let's get them imagining how awesome their lives will be once they hire you!

Clement Manyathela speaks to Zanele Lecage, a Senior Talent Attraction Specialist at nCino KYC Africa to discuss common mistakes people make in job interviews and how one can recover from a bad interview.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When candidates prepare for their interviews, most make the mistake of solely focusing on rehearsing answers to common questions. Uh, no good. I've got a much more effective way to truly elevate your performance and get better results. Remember, as I've reminded you, oh, I dunno, about a bajillion times, the most qualified candidate often doesn't get the job. So, there are other aspect of your interview interaction you need to nail! There's the storytelling part. I've gone to great lengths to teach you my CAAR technique and how to prepare and package your “power stories.” Those lessons are fantastic and you can find them on my YouTube channel. They will teach you tactically how to identify the right stories and deliver them. That is, how to write the lyrics to the song. Today, however, I have a next-level lesson on ways to improve your “performance.” I'm talking not about the song itself, but the singing, dancing, and energetic part of the delivery that is overlooked by job seekers but mostly what the interviewer notices!

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton break down the power of dressing for the moment (Amazon Affiliate) and why your appearance plays a major role in how people perceive and respond to you. Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Trump and VP Vance wearing a tracksuit. While some defended his choice, others immediately dismissed him, saying it showed a lack of respect for one of the most prestigious places in the world. His attire sent a message before he even spoke—and it wasn't a strong one. Like it or not, what you wear speaks before you do. Whether you're a police officer, a leader, or just navigating everyday life, how you present yourself influences how others perceive you and how seriously they take you. In this episode, we explore five key examples of dressing to impress and why it matters, especially in law enforcement. 1. Why Your Appearance Sets the Tone Before You Speak Whether it's a job interview, courtroom testimony, or just walking into roll call, your clothing sends an immediate, unspoken message about your confidence, professionalism, and credibility. 2. Five Examples of Dressing to Impress and Why It Matters: 1. Courtroom Appearances: Looking the Part of a Professional Officer Example: A police officer testifying in court wears a clean, pressed uniform, polished boots, and proper grooming. Why It Matters: Judges and juries pay attention to details. A well-put-together officer is seen as competent and credible. A sloppy uniform or unkempt appearance could lead to doubt in testimony, even if the facts are solid. 2. Job Interviews and Promotions: Showing You Take the Role Seriously Example: An officer applying for a detective position wears business attire instead of casual clothing. Why It Matters: Command staff and decision-makers look for professionalism. If you can't dress for the role, they'll assume you're not ready for the responsibility. First impressions are lasting—walking in well-dressed shows you respect the opportunity. 3. Leadership and Command Presence in the Field Example: A patrol sergeant consistently wears a clean, squared-away uniform, polished gear, and looks sharp on every shift. Why It Matters: Officers under their command will mirror their leader's professionalism. A well-groomed, squared-away officer commands more respect from peers, the public, and even suspects. 4. Off-Duty Encounters: The Image You Present Still Matters Example: An officer going to a community event or speaking engagement dresses in business casual instead of jeans and a hoodie. Why It Matters: Shows pride in the profession and presents law enforcement as a respected career. Helps build trust and credibility in the community by looking approachable and professional. 5. Everyday Situations Where You Represent More Than Just Yourself Example: You're attending a funeral, wedding, or formal event—dressing appropriately shows respect for the moment. Why It Matters: Your clothing choices reflect your level of respect for the occasion and the people involved. Dressing appropriately ensures you're taken seriously in every environment. 3. How Dressing the Part Affects Confidence and Performance Studies show that people who dress well perform better. When you look sharp, you carry yourself differently, speak with more confidence, and make stronger impressions. 4. The Balance Between Comfort and Professionalism Dressing for the moment doesn't mean being uncomfortable. It means choosing attire that respects the environment while keeping you prepared for the job at hand. 5. Why First Impressions Matter More Than People Think Like Zelenskyy's tracksuit moment, people form opinions based on appearance instantly.

Why This Matters: You don't have to wear a suit every day, but you do have to be intentional about how you present yourself. Whether you're on duty, in court, or simply walking into a professional environment, your attire speaks volumes before you say a word. Listen now to learn how to use your appearance as an advantage in law enforcement and beyond!
Bad assumptions. Change that. Assumptions of any kind. They simply ruin your negotiation process. Any time you speak first, you're making an assumption. Anytime you're thinking, you're making an assumption. I know this sounds ridiculous, but unless you actually have a job offer in hand, you don't know what the employer is thinking. This is public enemy #1—assumptions—when it comes to negotiating an offer. Public enemy #2 is not knowing what success looks like and how to argue your value in relation to it.

Everything starts with talking about walking into closed glass doors, which quickly dissolves into a conversation about how mean my kids are. Then we spend a little time talking about what happened to the show since November of 2024 lol. The actual topic, if you can call it that, is the movie and tv show quotes that worked their way into our everyday conversations. We're mimetic creatures so it makes sense, but the stuff that sticks with us sure doesn't. Get ready for the sound clips. The show rounds out with a recap of RE Congress, and a preview of some things coming to the Las Vegas Archdiocesan Conference this year! Enjoy!!

“It hurts me […] when you're so awesome, but you just can't convey your awesomeness in a bite-sized package that sells you best […] because you want to add all these albatrosses around your neck with dead-weight words that don't do anything or paint a colorful picture.” That's verbatim from today's lesson on Why You Fail Job Interviews and the Best Way to Fix it (CAAR). I know it's verbatim because I kept stopping the video every few seconds so I could type the words just like I said them. We're diving into perspective, new ways to look at how you convey yourself, and the exact formula to use. You know me. I'm all about the formulas.
