The Interview: Are They Selling You a Dream?

The interview isn't just them evaluating you — you're evaluating them. Here's how to see through the sales pitch.

About this episode

Most people think the job interview is a one-way evaluation. It's not. While you're being assessed, the company is also auditioning for you — and they've had a lot more practice at it.

In this debut episode, Kiana and Tara break down what interviews are really about: the questions behind the questions, the red flags hidden in polished answers, and how to assess whether this company is actually somewhere you want to spend 40+ hours a week.

From how to research the culture before you walk in the door to how to ask the questions that reveal what's really going on — this episode reframes the interview as a two-way conversation.

Because the best time to spot a bad boss is before you've accepted the offer.
