transparency

We’re going on Week 3 of Google’s high-stakes trial over allegations that it bought its way to dominance in internet search. The Department of Justice and several states allege that the tech giant has maintained a lucrative monopoly through exclusive contracts with browser companies and phone makers like Apple and Samsung. Google has countered that it’s dominant in search because it offers the best product. Covering this trial has been a complicated task. Part of the challenge is that Google and other companies involved have moved to shield documents from public view. That applies to some testimony too. Leah Nylen, an antitrust reporter for Bloomberg who’s been present throughout, told Marketplace’s Lily Jamali about the trade-offs involved in these confidentiality decisions.

Imagine you're in an interview, confidently answering the typical "Tell Me About Yourself" question, but there's a catch - you're avoiding certain details like leaving your recent job, working for family, or not completing your degree. You might think you're steering clear of potential pitfalls, but are you actually sabotaging yourself in the process? In this episode, we're diving into the delicate art of sharing your career story authentically, addressing those often hidden aspects with confidence and grace.

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma guide you through the labyrinth of interview storytelling. We'll explore the scenarios where it's better to address these hidden details and debunk the myth that avoidance equals success. By the end of this episode, you'll be armed with the tools to decide when and how to share those seemingly challenging details, while crafting a narrative that showcases your strengths.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Tania who shouted us 5 coffees “A few coffees and a nice message won't come close to describing the appreciation I have for both of you, but I'll give it a(n espresso) shot - I'm a sucker for a good (or bad) pun ☕. You would think that working in Talent Acquisition and HR for over 8 years that I may have all the tools and information needed to be a rockstar interviewee... wrong. Not only was I working in an extremely toxic work environment, but I also wanted to change career paths and felt completely stuck and pigeonholed in my area of expertise. This podcast gave me all the tools I needed throughout my interview process for a job I was REALLY excited about. I'm talking the prep work, I'm talking pre-interview pep talks, I'm talking butt clenching tricks, I'm talking follow-up emails... ALL. OF. IT. It came to a point where I would constantly be listening to your podcast at home, in the car, while working out, and my husband would hear the Aussie accent and say "oh you're listening to your Australian sisters again". Obsession would be an understatement and that's only because I learned SO much from you both and never felt more prepared for an interview process than I did after starting to listen to the Interview Boss podcast. After 4 interviews and a 30-minute presentation, I GOT THE JOB. A job outside of my historical expertise, I was able to prove how my skills and experience related to and would bring value to the role they were looking for (all thanks to you)! I landed the job last month and have been counting my blessings ever since. I seriously can't thank you both enough for this podcast, your warmth and friendliness, and selflessness making this podcast free for all users. I have and will continue to tell everyone I know about just how much this podcast has helped me. 💜 THANK YOU! - Your Canadian sister”

Episodes For Your Situation

This week, we are revisiting an episode from earlier this year about an obscure firm from the United Arab Emirates: International Holding Company’s share price has jumped 40,000 per cent in just a few years. But little is known about the business, which has investments in everything from Elon Musk’s SpaceX to India’s Adani Group. The FT’s Middle East editor Andrew England travelled to Abu Dhabi to get answers about its rapid growth and its connections to some of the most powerful people in the Gulf.

In the early 1980s, Lou Pearlman is riding high… literally. He rakes in millions of dollars from his blimp company — thanks to an insurance scam — and his private jet company is taking off, too. But Lou really starts to make the big bucks when he discovers the next big craze: boy bands. He helps turn the Backstreet Boys and N*Sync into global superstars… and his own personal cash cows. But his shady dealings will soon have the boys saying “Bye Bye Bye.”
