Interview Strategies That Matter
May 18, 2026 Season 1 Episode 15

Interviews can feel intimidating—but they don’t have to. If they make you nervous, this episode is for you. In this episode of NET Collective Podcast, we break down the different types of interviews students and young professionals may encounter, from informational interviews to behavioral job interviews to video interviews.

Drawing on decades of experience in staffing, college recruiting, career coaching, and mock interview preparation for MBA candidates, we share practical strategies to help listeners prepare with confidence, communicate authentically, and ask smart questions.

We discuss:

  • The purpose of informational interviews and how to use them effectively 
  • Behavioral interview preparation and common mistakes 
  • How to calm nerves and make a strong first impression 
  • Smart questions candidates could ask during an interview
  • Why reflection and follow-up matter more than most people realize 

Whether you’re preparing for an internship, first job, graduate school interview, or career pivot, this episode offers actionable guidance for both students and parents navigating the process together.
