Behavioral interview questions require candidates to share examples of specific situations they’ve been in where they had to use certain skills. These are also probably the most dreaded interview questions—those “tell me about a time when...” questions we all hope we don’t get asked. By using Story Circles you can learn how to answer any interview question. That’s why this episode is dedicated to teaching you this unique technique. We’ll also hear from Ali O’Reilly, a career coach and expert on this strategy. In “Dear Career Contessa,” we’ll help a reader who feels undervalued as a manager of a new team and what she can do to move forward.

Career Contessa - How to Network For People Who Hate Networking
play

02/14/23 • 40 min

Today we’re discussing networking. Yes, it gets a bad rap but networking is a necessary skill to success—and it won’t seem that hard after a little practice. Plus, according to HubSpot, 85 percent of jobs are filled through networking. Seventy percent of jobs are never even published publicly, meaning that many opportunities come from simply talking to people — whether it’s a formal meeting or over an Instagram DM. It’s a daunting reality. Luckily, there are plenty of tactics and tools anyone can use to strengthen or build new relationships — and that’s what we’ll be covering today with the help of expert, Eliana Goldstein.
