"Just be yourself" might be the most useless interview advice anyone's ever handed you. Because if being yourself was enough, you'd already have the job. This episode covers what actually works.

In this episode, Caleb and Mary Beth go past the advice that sounds nice and does nothing, sharing four interview tips they've earned from both sides of the table after a real hiring round on their freight team.

We cover:

→ Be your prepared self, not your raw self, and why "natural" people are never actually winging it

→ Trade adjectives for evidence instead of just calling yourself hardworking

→ Solve their problem instead of showing off your resume

→ Manage the energy in the room so the conversation works for you

→ The one answer that ended an interview in under a minute

You don't need to become someone else. You need to show up as the prepared, sharpened version of you.
