Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15418&preview=true) A job interview is not a legal deposition; you aren’t there to sit quietly and only speak when spoken to. You have the opportunity in an interview to share who you are and build rapport with the hiring manager, says Find Your Dream Job guest Ann Tropea. Ann urges you to practice before the interview, to create a list of your most valuable offerings, prepare questions for the employer, and not be afraid to steer the conversation in a direction that allows you to offer your solutions to their problems.  About Our Guest: Ann Tropea is cohost of the Career Bitches podcast. Ann is also an author, a public speaker, and an advisor for student media at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
