In the meantime, with job hunting season comes job interviews and with job interviews comes stress and uncertainty for most people. There's a lot to say on the topic, but for now . . .

This episode presents my framework for how to tackle what could be the most awkward part of a job interview.

The conversation has gone well.

The question answering is over.

You can breathe.

Then . . . you know it's coming.

The interviewer asks: What questions do you have for us?

Gulp.

Messing up this question could be the single biggest wasted opportunity of the entire interview.

Instead of stalling, or worse, passing on this opportunity, listen in to how to turn this portion of the interview into a golden opportunity to seal the deal.

Jude Charles Thinks Storytelling is The Most Powerful Leverage May 29, 2022

Show notes

Today's conversation began with curiosity.

Jude Charles joined a damn good conversation on Twitter and several exchanges later, we hit it off. He kept asking good questions, and I dove deeper into his work.

In this conversation, Jude shares his approach to creating dramatic results by telling powerful stories of all kinds. My favorite moment of the conversation happens halfway through when Jude gives me an impromptu coaching session on my storytelling. You'll hear how to apply those lessons to your life.

Learn more about his work at Jude's Website and in the meantime, enjoy this conversation.

Oh! Before I forget, if you do creative work, consider joining the Damn Good Conversations Coaching Community this October. Find out more HERE.
