    It's time to work smarter, not harder!

    From writing polished resume bullet points, to researching salaries, Sarah and Emma walk you through 8 game changing prompts you can use, to get ChatGPT working with you - not against you.

    We've done the heavy lifting for you and created a free download so you can 'copy' & 'paste' and get started today!

    “Well, I just started listening to the podcast and this is exactly what I was looking for and more. I don't know how you make it this easy but this is better than any other source I have come across, even my friend in HR hahaha. The ‘about me’ advice is spectacular! I have never felt confident about my story until now. I just bought one coffee because I don't want you to drink too much but I’m gonna buy more along the way until I get an offer :)”

  • Why you need to resist the urge to script yourself in an interview!
    Dec 11 2024

    Are you tempted to script your interview answers to perfection? You need to listen to this episode!

    Sarah and Emma explain why scripting every word might feel like the safe option but could actually be holding you back.

    We explain the unintended consequences of speaking in 'robot mode,' like coming across as disconnected and why you should focus on building a flexible answer framework instead.

    This episode will help you strike the right balance between being prepared, but also conversational.

    🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Roxane who bought us 10 coffees!

    “This podcast has been such a gift. I found it nearly a year ago when I was prepping for a second interview for a big job that I really wanted. Hearing logical, practical, and actionable advice from two women was not only refreshing, but the tips and insights you provide in your episodes were so relevant and useful. The way you pair interview and work advice with humor and sisterly banter is absolutely addicting. I've listened to nearly every episode, many of them multiple times over, soaking in all the information and laughing along. I also went through the Interview Academy for a little extra practice and focused work to ensure I was as prepared as possible. Although the big job I was interviewing for didn't work out, I left that interview feeling more confident than ever before. I knew that if they didn't pick me, it was because I wasn't the right fit, not because I failed to share my experience. The advice you share about preparing your 'about me' story and the 'best bits' have been the biggest game changers for me. After searching a little more, I landed an interview for another job. I took in all the episodes I could and revisited the Interview Academy materials. Ultimately, all of your wisdom and my prep helped me land the job! It is closer to home, pays better, and is a big next step in my career. And, not only did you help me land this new job, but you again came in clutch with your advice about how to best leave a job, even in a toxic environment. I wrapped up my final weeks at work by prepping all the transition documents, recording videos of processes for future personnel, and providing constructive feedback when asked. All in all, I really don't think I would've made it through this job search as successfully without you. I appreciate the time and dedication you invest in this podcast so much. Thank you for being strong female voices to lean on. Listening from California - Roxane!”

  • Two great candidates - who would YOU hire?
    Dec 4 2024

    If you're feeling crushed after getting knocked back from a job, then this episode is for you.

    We've created a mindset exercise to help put your 'rejection' into context.

    We hope this role-playing exercise will help you to understand just how subjective hiring decisions can be - and how it's not always about being 'better,' but about being the right fit for the specific need.

    We’d love to hear who YOU picked and why! Drop us a comment on Spotify for this episode or slide into our DM's with your thoughts!

    “The sisters I never had! I moved out of leadership from a toxic company and got a good job with slightly better pay but after a year and an unsuccessful application for a promotion I was feeling a bit stagnant. I thought I was in a good position this time around when another leadership opening in my department came up, but wanted to leave nothing to chance. I am confident in my employability and skills, but I have ADHD, anxiety and hot mess energy. Sometimes it feels like nobody understands my brain. The content was all somewhat familiar to me, and I had luckily been preparing for interviews in similar ways, but the podcast and Interview Academy really helped me not feel alone in the process. You gave me clear strategies, goals, accountability, and permission to calm down. I listened to the “before you go into your interview” literally standing in a power pose in a small room with the air conditioner maxed out and tears welling in my eyes because I was so inspired. My career story sold like hotcakes. The rest of the interview is a blur. I got the promotion and a fatter pay rise than expected. I can’t thank you enough for helping me stay focused!”
