The 🔑 to a memorable interview
|
Hello Reader, Have you ever gotten into an interview and completely drawn a blank when they asked tricky behavior-based questions? You know that you have experiences that demonstrate your teamwork or conflict management skills, but when you're put on the spot you stumble through a pretty lame example or you completely freeze. If this sounds like you, you're not alone. And there's a pretty simple solution- a story bank. Start journaling each week about your client wins, projects that you completed, or a challenging patient that you helped. Your story bank is your key to making your life 1000x easier when it comes to interview prep. Why do stories matter so much? Stories help create an emotional connection with the interviewing team and they make you memorable! Sharing a story about how you developed and led a recipe taste test for a tofu-based dessert for veterans is going to elicit conversation and connection. And the interviewees are going to remember you. So how do you create your story bank? Each week, take time to journal about any challenging patient interactions, any time that you went above and beyond to provide excellent care, a project that went really well, etc. This simple task will not only help you with interviews but will also help you prove your worth when it comes to negotiating a raise. Does this sound similar to working on your accomplishment journal? Sure does! The two can go hand in hand.

Hello Reader, Over the past few weeks, I have had three dietitians reach out to me with similar frustrations- their companies were advertising positions at salaries higher than what they're currently making OR they found out a coworker was making more for the same role. 👉 Sarah (*names all changed) found out that her brand new coworker is making $7,000(!!!) more for the exact same position, yet he has zero years of experience and she has 5 years of experience. 👉 Kira discovered that her...
Hello Reader, Have you ever found yourself questioning if a job post is legit or a scam? Unfortunately, even sites like LinkedIn are not scam-proof. I recently applied for a role I was certain was a scam to see what would happen. And not surprisingly the listing was pulled down a few hours later and whether it's a coincidence or not- I have gotten dozens more spam calls and texts over the past few days. Here are some of the 🚩🚩🚩 to watch out for with fake job posts: 1- The company doesn't have...
