   224: Screen Sharing During Remote Interviews: The New Live Task Trend

   Being asked to share your screen on a meeting is stressful enough…let alone in an interview. One of our listeners was told she’d need to complete a series of live tasks while screen sharing as part of the interview process. This included drafting an email to an executive, analysing data, and refining a presentation on the spot, all while talking through her thinking. In this episode, Sarah and Emma break down this growing trend and why employers are leaning into it. We discuss what they’re really trying to assess and the importance of showing them how you think, not just what you know. 🏀…

   In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma tackle the disclosure conundrum, after hearing from listeners navigating neurodivergence diagnoses, workplace stigma and the fear of being misunderstood. In Part 3 of our neurodivergence series we break down the pros and cons, including better support, accommodations and working relationships, to stigma, bias and assumptions about your capability. We also cover when to disclose and why how you approach the conversation matters just as much as the decision itself.

   222: 6 things we think our listeners need to hear right now!

   In this lighter, more off-the-cuff episode, Sarah and Emma each bring three things they think you need to hear right now…no prep, just vibes. Some are the reminders you didn’t know you needed, some might call you out (in a good way), and others will give you the little push to keep going. We react to each other in real time, which means a mix of honesty, tough love, and a few laughs along the way. 🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Megan who bought us 3 coffees! “If my story was an episode of your podcast, it would be called: 'I was offered the role of a lifetime but turned it down!'

   221: The Counter Offer Trap: Should You Stay or Go?

   Ever handed in your notice…only to suddenly become very valuable? After years of being overlooked for a raise, support, or promotion, one listener finally quit, only to be hit with a last-minute counter offer: more money, any title she wanted, and a whole lot of “what ifs.” So… do you stay? Or is it already too late? In this episode, Sarah and Emma unpack why counter offers happen, the psychology behind suddenly being “seen,” and how to decide whether it’s worth reconsidering, or a sign to walk away for good. We also dive into how to handle your notice period when you’re feeling hurt, angry,…

   217: Neurodivergence and accommodations in the job search - Part 1

   Job Interviews aren't designed with every brain in mind. After hearing from listeners navigating interviews with ADHD, autism, and processing differences, Sarah and Emma dive into how traditional hiring processes can unintentionally test skills that have little to do with actually doing the job. From remembering answers on the spot and processing complex questions verbally, to eye contact, small talk, and performing in unfamiliar environments, we unpack the hidden expectations some candidates are facing. This episode is Part 1 of our deep dive into neurodivergence and the job hunt, focusing…

   216: Trial Shifts: What Employers Are Really Looking For

   Being asked to come in for a trial shift can feel exciting…and slightly confusing. Is it a great sign? Is it free labour? And how do you actually perform well when you’re being assessed in real time? In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma unpack what you can expect at a trial shift, and why it’s often less about skill, and more about how you show up. We discuss what employers are actually looking for when they see you “in action,” especially in hands-on and customer-facing roles. Most importantly, we’ll help you shift your mindset. Because a trial isn’t just about being tested, it’s your…

   215: You Can’t Hack Your Way Into a New Job: Correlation Does NOT Equal Causation!

   Job searching can make you feel a little superstitious. One person swears a specific resume template got them hired. Someone else says it was the follow-up email. Another is convinced one “brilliant” question in the interview sealed the deal. But we have to remember: correlation does not equal causation!!! In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma unpack the urge to assign a single cause to a complex outcome. We break down why our brains love to create neat little stories (hello, confirmation bias), especially when so much of the hiring process feels outside our control. We explain why those…

    214: Applying for Your First Manager Role: Owning your Experience (Part 2)

    What are you supposed to say in an interview…when you've never actually been a manager before? In Part 2 of this deep dive series, we explain why self-awareness is your secret weapon, what to say when you don’t have a perfect example, and how to show a growth mindset instead of panicking. We also share the fundamental advice every first-time manager isn’t always told, but absolutely needs to hear. Remember, you don’t need to fake leadership experience. You need to show how you think, how you learn, and how you’ll lead. 🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Kyle who bought us 5 coffees! “Hi Emma…
