Summary
You're being interviewed, but you're also doing the interviewing. Most people forget the second part. Ali shares two episodes from the Finding Mr. Height Patreon in this special re-air, covering the interview process from both sides of the table. Part one is a practical guide to vetting a company before you accept an offer: how to use Glassdoor beyond the surface level, what LinkedIn can tell you about turnover patterns, how to interview your interviewer, and more. Part two covers your side of the table: how to tell a coherent, compelling story about your career, how to answer questions with real specificity instead of canned talking points, and why the questions you ask can say just as much about you as the answers you give.
Part three of this series is available now on the Patreon at patreon.com/findingmrheight, along with AMAs, monthly live episodes, the Discord community, and more bonus content every week. This week's Media Mention is: "What's Your Interviewing Style?" from HBR IdeaCast (Harvard Business Review), featuring author and former corporate recruiter Anna Papalia.

| 0:05.1 | resume that was interesting to them. If they didn't think, oh, there are things on this |
| 0:08.3 | resume that would make this person a good fit for this role. |
| 0:25.3 | Hello and welcome to their episode of Finding Mr. Right, the podcast. I'm your host, Ali Jackson, and I am bringing you my positive and practical approach to dating relationships. |
| 0:29.7 | And as you'll see in this episode, a lot of other stuff about life brought from my lived experience. |
| 0:34.9 | Thank you for being here. You can probably hear in my voice already that I did |
| 0:38.4 | lose my voice this week. It is on the upswing. We are on our way back, but I did lose it at last |
| 0:43.9 | weekend's volleyball tournament. So I was waiting until the very end of the week to record this |
| 0:48.5 | in an attempt to not be super, super squeaky. Here's where we're at. I do still have a black |
| 0:53.9 | eye from that volleyball |
| 0:54.7 | tournament, but we are pushing along. I was able to find some good concealer because I'm actually |
| 1:00.9 | at a work conference this weekend, talking to a lot of people and hoping to wake up tomorrow |
| 1:05.7 | morning with a little bit less to cover up. But we shall see, this week, I'm very, very excited to bring you a little bit |
| 1:14.2 | something different. And that is two Patreon bonus episodes over on the main feed. I'm stitching |
| 1:19.3 | them together. And I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. One, I think this content is so |
| 1:24.8 | useful for a lot of people out there right now. We are in a brutal job |
| 1:28.7 | market and these episodes are about interviewing, job interviews. I've been getting questions |
| 1:34.2 | about career stuff more and more, I think because we're in this brutal job market and also |
| 1:40.1 | because I think more and more people are prioritizing really wanting to find the right fit in a job |
| 1:47.3 | and feel happy at work. And that doesn't necessarily mean that work is your everything. |
| 1:52.1 | I don't advocate that it is. But we spend a lot of time there, right? And so those two things |
