Episode 1 - Three Strategies That Will Give You an Unfair Advantage for Your Job Interviews
The Job Hunting Podcast episode number 1 is out of the bag! In this episode, my goal was to make you re-think your stress and use it to your advantage.
I focus on three key themes during this chat:

Once you come to terms with this (that is, stress is the baseline for you and your competition), you can focus on other things.
Focus on your strengths:
Which is what got you through the door in the first place. And it may be what the panel needs to know about you. Indeed, it could be what they need in their team.

All while you learn about how I shrunk my skirt and other bits of information you may or may not find helpful!
