Show Notes

Recorded before the coup, this episode delves into practical advice about interviewing. Mostly focusing on academic jobs, but with insights for interviews more generally, Karen and Kel remind you: the job search is not about you. It’s about the hiring party, the problem they have, and the warm body they need to solve their problem. This is so whether the job is a Harvard endowed chair or a Starbucks barista. We talk the special challenges of Zoom interviews as well.

(This episode also features new intro music. Tell us what you think!)
