    241: Clench Your Butt Cheeks: 🍑 Our Greatest Interview Hack!
    Oct 28 2026

    If you've been listening to Interview Boss for a while, chances are you've heard us tell you to CLENCH YOUR BUTT CHEEKS in a job interview. Yes, seriously.

    It's one of our most iconic (and ridiculous) interview tips, and after years of mentioning it on the pod, we realised it deserved an episode of its own.

    In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma explain the surprisingly clever science behind why clenching your butt cheeks could help stop your hands from shaking when interview nerves kick in.

    We also share some hilarious stories from listeners who've put it to the test.

    Consider this your official invitation to join the butt-clenching club. 🍑

    🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Amanda who bought us 5 coffees!

    "Dear Emma and Sarah, I have always gotten ridiculously nervous before interviews, and have often left them feeling that my nerves were the reason I didn't move forward. Especially the classic 'Tell me about yourself' question that would trip me up! I started listening to your podcast over the summer and found especially the 'best bits' and 'tell me about yourself' advice to help. I also listened to your 'listen to this before your interview' pep talk before every interview! And here I am, a couple of months later, having landed my DREAM job. I am so proud of myself and honestly thought that this was impossible. Not because of my skills, but because of my inability to clearly and confidently communicate in an interview setting. The job comes with a 59% salary increase, way better benefits and a lot of responsibility in a strategic area. Truly a dream, especially as we have just bought a house, have a baby AND my partner has been laid off. A tip for others: I used Ghat GPT and a dictation tool to practice interview questions and get super comfortable with talking about my experience out loud. Thank you for your help! Best wishes from Denmark. - Amanda."

    240: How to Stop Waffling in Job Interviews
    Oct 22 2026
    Being told you need to be more concise in job interviews can be frustrating, especially when you're not sure what you're doing wrong.If you find yourself rambling, overexplaining or losing track of your point, the solution isn't necessarily to make your interview answers shorter.In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma unpack why interview answers can sometimes turn into long-winded stories, how to structure your examples to avoid waffling, and why being concise is about cutting the confusion, not the details that make your answers great.🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Lonny who bought us 5 coffees!"Dear Emma and Sarah, I've been waiting to send this email for years! I began listening to your podcast in 2023 while I was preparing for an interview for a manager role at my company. I was a successful individual contributor in a technical role shooting for a manager spot in my department. I did not end up getting the job. I was told that my interview was one of the best of the lot. However, lack of supervision experience is what ultimately lost me the job. I've spent the last 3 years working in supervisor roles in 2 different areas of the company that were outside of my area of expertise. I took advantage of your coffee chat strategies and have created a good mentor relationship with a senior leader at my organization. These moves have not only been great in building my leadership skills, I've also been getting perspective from different departments and learning how my company operates. I feel like I have a much better systemic understanding of the business and have learned so many interesting things. A few months ago, the same Manager role from 2023 opened again. Though I have been out of the group for 3 years, I knew I would be competitive in the pool of strong candidates. Especially with my added supervision experience. I spent the last month re-listening through your episodes and prepping my best bit notebook that I have been keeping for this moment. I was feeling confident going into interview day, and I absolutely crushed it. I took advantage of the 'tell me about yourself' question to highlight my previous attempt at the role and everything I have done to improve myself since then. I brought it around full circle. None of the behavioral questions gave me pause. And we spent more time discussing the questions I had prepared than we did on their questions! This week, I was offered and accepted the role. Along with a 25+% pay raise with a much larger bonus as well. I am so happy and excited to get started in my new role! Thank you both so much for all of the wisdom, insight, and laughs over the years. I know I will continue to listen to and share your show and the resources you provide as long as you continue to make content. Cheers, (Not Australian) - Lonny."🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips🏫 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy☕ Did our podcast help you out?

    239: The Great Iced Coffee Debate: Is It Really an Interview Red Flag?
    Oct 12 2026

    Can bringing an iced coffee into a job interview really leave a bad impression?!

    A recruiter's viral take has sparked a heated debate online, and we're weighing in!

    Is it genuinely unprofessional, or have we taken interview etiquette a step too far?

    🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Karen from Ireland who bought us 3 coffees!

    "I listened to your podcast religiously for weeks and it really helped me hone in on the areas I needed to improve, strategise for my interview & my biggest take away’s were resetting after each question, staying calm & the double plugger! 3rd interview of doing interviews to just improve skills but first one after listening to your podcast I was hit with a three part question as the first question😱and my first thought was “whoa, A TRIPLE PLUGGER”…right let’s go! And I dived in applying the technique🥰 I shot my best shot over a few interviews and I got a fab new job that also happened to be a grade & a half promotion. The public sector in Ireland works off a panel system and a competency based interview, all looking for STAR application so if you ever want to 'irish-ify' a session let me know and I’ll gladly help with the lingo & inspo. I added an intro sentence before STAR telling them how amazing/how much experience I had in that area, then STAR, then what i called the uplift - one sentence or point - '& if I got the job I would….My skill in this area is…and would make me a great fit for the role' at the end. 3-4 min answers then Zip it. I recommend yer podcast to everyone!"
