I am SO excited to bring you the 200th episode of The Exclusive Career Coach podcast.
This milestone represents hundreds of hours writing content, recording episodes, and until recently, editing those episodes. Not to mention the time I spend marketing the podcast on social media, in newsletters, and on other podcasts.
In the early days, no one listened, but I stuck with it because I knew I had a message to share with the world and – eventually – the world would hear it.
I thought that, for this episode, I would pull snippets of wisdom from the top 10 most-listened-to episodes of The Exclusive Career Coach. Here we go:
#10: Episode #85: Questions to Ask the Interviewer
In this episode, I talked about the four steps to take in preparing the questions you want to ask during an interview; I also covered the best and worst topics for questioning.

In this episode, my guest Jeanne Bohen and I talk about what transferable skills are, why they are so important, and a process you can go through to identify your transferable skills.
#8: Episode #152: Special Considerations for Zoom and Phone Interviews
Episode #152 was created during COVID, when so many job seekers were having interviews exclusively through technology.

In this episode, I give you five ways many people fail at networking – and how to be a successful networker.

Behavioral interview questions begin like this: “Tell me about a time when…” or “Describe a situation that…”
They are difficult to wing, and in this episode, I give you a step-by-step strategy to prepare your behavioral responses. I also give you a “bonus” strategy that is like earning extra credit on a test.
