In this week's episode of Behind the Hire, I had a chance to sit down and talk to Marissa Marsala about how to frame job searches with the right mindset, even when uncertainty surrounds everything.

Among many great insights, Marissa shared powerful thoughts on the following:
• What emotional hardships face job seekers in general and during tough times
• How one goes from being in a completely emotional place to becoming much more logical during the job search
• Importance of self-advocacy and internal champions within organizations

It is a must-listen for anyone, whatever situation you're going through on your career transition. This episode brings key strategies that can make a real difference.

HOW TO ACE AN INTERVIEW (Posted by an Executive Producer at CNN)

One of my early coaching clients just sent the below to help job seekers. (Thanks for sharing and caring, Annette!)

I smiled as I read each point as these are things on my checklist among others, that I routinely cover to prepare candidates for the next step in their careers. Enjoy!

Executive Producer at CNN Digital
2 days ago

"I've interviewed nearly 100 people over the last few months for openings at CNN. Here's what the most successful candidates did well:

1. They told a clear story. Every answer had a beginning, middle, and end (or a conflict, action & solution). They didn't repeat themselves and didn't include a lot of extraneous information. For example, to answer the common question "What's a mistake you've made recently?" the strongest candidates started with a BRIEF summary of where & when the mistake happened, walked through the actions that led to the mistake, explained clearly how they handled the error and then ended with what they learned from the incident.

The worst candidates monologued; I had one who spoke for 16 minutes straight after the first question. If you find yourself rambling, stop yourself, take a deep breath, and apologize. Then try to summarize your answer to the question again in a few sentences.

2. They had examples ready to share. Every question is an opportunity to let the interviewer know about a great story you produced or a time when you shined. Have a list of your best moments handy so you can weave those concrete examples into your answers in an authentic way.

3. They showed their passion. Employers want to know that you're excited about the opportunities this job presents. Find a chance to share what motivates you and/or your career origin story (aka why you became a journalist/video editor/writer/etc.) One of my favorite candidates ended the interview by thanking us for our time and expressing how much they were interested in tackling the challenges the job would bring.

4. They acknowledged what they don't know. For example, when asked what they would do differently if they were on the team, one candidate explained what they would do but caveated it with the fact that they are viewing our content as a single user, not knowing our strategy and how data informs it. That showed me they understand audiences are diverse and would lean into data to inform their strategy as a leader. Another smart candidate said they haven't had the opportunity to use our content management system but "couldn't wait" to get their hands on it and learn quickly. I'd rather have a fast learner than someone who knows the current system but can't pick up the next one."
