What Tips Do You Have For Video Interviewing?

We’re excited to share our new podcast, No Vacation Required. In every episode, we ask one simple but powerful question: “Why are we still doing that?”—challenging the outdated ideas and tired traditions that keep us feeling stuck or unfulfilled.

 Today's question is about passion. Simply Eric asks, "how do I find my passion?"

Tips for how to make your next video job interview more effective, including advice to use the S.T.A.R. behavioral interview format when answering questions.

Q. I don't have a question as much as a very short rant. My boss keeps calling our team a family, and I hate it!

Q. My annual performance review and raise is coming up and I've just been asked to do my self review. I am horrible at every part of this process. What tips do you have?

Q. I get so much more done at home, but my employer acts like not putting in enough hours is like stealing from company. Would they prefer I work more but be less productive?

Q. My company went fully remote during the pandemic. I love the flexibility, the pay is solid, and was able to move closer to family. Now my employer is demanding that everyone return to the office 3 days a week and I’m screwed. I live 1,000 miles away now. Plus, I’m way happier and more productive than when I was in the office. What’s your advice for people who are being forced back into the office?

Q. As someone who was recently laid off and is now seeking a new position after 15 years, I want to approach the job offer process with a positive mindset. Could you please provide some key factors or considerations I should keep in mind when I inevitably get a job offer?

Q. You recently talked about how more people than ever consider well-being to be a better measure of wealth than money. I feel the same way, but I also feel like well-being is hard to measure. Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t get it, but how do you define and measure “well-being?”

Q. I see a lot being written about how bad it is to find meaning in your work. I like and feel gratified by what I do for a living, but I’m actually feeling that is somehow a bad thing now. What do you think?
