Episode 239: The Great Iced Coffee Debate: Is It Really an Interview Red Flag?
Can bringing an iced coffee into a job interview really leave a bad impression?!
A recruiter's viral take has sparked a heated debate online, and we're weighing in!
Is it genuinely unprofessional, or have we taken interview etiquette a step too far?
🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Karen from Ireland who bought us 3 coffees!
"I listened to your podcast religiously for weeks and it really helped me hone in on the areas I needed to improve, strategise for my interview & my biggest take away’s were resetting after each question, staying calm & the double plugger! 3rd interview of doing interviews to just improve skills but first one after listening to your podcast I was hit with a three part question as the first question😱and my first thought was “whoa, A TRIPLE PLUGGER”…right let’s go! And I dived in applying the technique🥰 I shot my best shot over a few interviews and I got a fab new job that also happened to be a grade & a half promotion. The public sector in Ireland works off a panel system and a competency based interview, all looking for STAR application so if you ever want to 'irish-ify' a session let me know and I’ll gladly help with the lingo & inspo. I added an intro sentence before STAR telling them how amazing/how much experience I had in that area, then STAR, then what i called the uplift - one sentence or point - '& if I got the job I would….My skill in this area is…and would make me a great fit for the role' at the end. 3-4 min answers then Zip it. I recommend yer podcast to everyone!"
