Everyone is looking for that one thing to say during an interview that will give them an advantage over their competition. What if that one thing was easy to say?

I coach my clients on using one word to change the tone of the interview and build more rapport and interest in who they are and what they do. Saying this word has been a game-changer for my clients to land new jobs they love and get promoted.

In this episode, I’ll share that one word with you as I continue my special interview preparation series on The Mid-Career GPS Podcast.
