00:00:00
Hello, welcome back to the podcast.
2
:
00:00:02
3

00:00:06

:
00:00:10
5
:
00:00:17
Hello! Welcome back to the podcast.
6
:
00:00:21
I hope you're well. This is Liam. I've just become American for the day.
7
:
00:00:25
8
:
00:00:31
Hello. Okay, let's dive in. Today,
9
:
00:00:33
10
:
00:00:39
Now, I want to do two things with today. One,
11
:
00:00:41
12
:
00:00:44
13
:
00:00:48
how to write the professional career summary in a way that really self
14
:
00:00:54
sells and markets your skill set to the panel without being bland and generic,
15
:
00:00:58
16
:
00:01:02
clearly show you how you should respond to why do you want to work
17
:
00:01:05
18
:
00:01:09
The professional career summary becomes your response,
19
:
00:01:13
if done well, to your, into your first interview question,
20
:
00:01:16
21
:
00:01:19
22
:
00:01:21
23
:
00:01:26
give you the framework, and give you three examples.
24
:
00:01:30
25
:
00:01:34
and then one at a clinical nurse consultant level.
26
:
00:01:38
And I want you to take from those what you can, and use them
27
:
00:01:41
28
:
00:01:45
29
:
00:01:48
And then I want you to listen to them when I read them out
30
:
00:01:50
31
:
00:01:55
that first interview question, which most people absolutely car crash
32
:
00:02:00
33
:
00:02:04
34
:
00:02:07
It's your moment to show them why they should pick you.
35
:
00:02:10
So let me dive in, without further ado,
36
:
00:02:12
and get into the meat and bones of this. So, let me introduce you
37
:
00:02:15
38
:
00:02:18
This is a framework that I have been finessing and honing and teaching,
39
:
00:02:22
uh, with great results, over 500 nurses,
40
:
00:02:24
and many more, because not only do the people that are working with me
41
:
00:02:28
42
:
00:02:30
43
:
00:02:33
which you can purchase from the show notes, by the way, those are DIY,
44
:
00:02:36
45
:
00:02:40
and also my online Nurse Career Course,
46
:
00:02:43
47
:
00:02:45
48
:
00:02:49
But today, I'm gonna teach you it, and I'm gonna give you it,
49
:
00:02:51
50
:
00:02:55
So when we talk career summary, I'm talking about the top section of your
51
:
00:02:59
52
:
00:03:02
and you think, oh my goodness, I need to write a cover letter, and
53
:
00:03:05
54
:
00:03:08
55
:
00:03:11
and they will pay attention to that, and see if it's,
56
:
00:03:13
if you're actually aligned with what they're looking for in the organization.
57
:
00:03:16
So we want to make sure that we pack a punch there,
58
:
00:03:19
knowing that we only have 7.4 seconds,
59
:
00:03:22
probably even less, in this day and age, to be able to make a
60
:
00:03:25
61
:
00:03:31
62
:
00:03:34
Now, notice I haven't talked about a professional objective,
63
:
00:03:38
or professional aspiration. It should be a career summary.
64
:
00:03:42
We should be very high level, giving them a snapshot of what you've done,
65
:
00:03:46
where you are now, where you want to be,
66
:
00:03:49
and why they should pick you. At a very,
67
:
00:03:51
68
:
00:03:54
But many of you, one,
69
:
00:03:56
70
:
00:04:00
71
:
00:04:04
72
:
00:04:06
73
:
00:04:09
74
:
00:04:12
75
:
00:04:16
76
:
00:04:18
77
:
00:04:20
moving to the present. What are you doing right now,
78
:
00:04:22
and why is that relevant? Three, is future aspirat- as- aspirations?
79
:
00:04:27
Aspirations! Future aspirations, wear your hat.
80
:
00:04:31
81
:
00:04:35
is number four. Okay, so what makes you unique and special?
82
:
00:04:38
83
:
00:04:41
84
:
00:04:44
And number five, that sounds creepy,
85
:
00:04:47
86
:
00:04:51
And then throughout all of that, there is this sprinkling of topical industry
87
:
00:04:56
related buzzwords and job specific buzzwords.
88
:
00:04:59
89
:
00:05:02
number one of the story arc framework is starting with your past.
90
:
00:05:05
Where have you been? So we want to give them a beautiful high-level overview
91
:
00:05:10
of where you've been. We summarise your background in a succinct way
92
:
00:05:15
that focuses on the relevant key achievements and experiences specific
93
:
00:05:20
94
:
00:05:23
95
:
00:05:28
This is where most people trip up is they go too broad or they'll
96
:
00:05:31
97
:
00:05:35
98
:
00:05:39
99
:
00:05:41
So emphasising the duration and the different specialties or areas that you've worked
100
:
00:05:46
101
:
00:05:50
and thinking about how we could frame and sell and market your unique experiences
102
:
00:05:55
from your past where you've been and what you've done. So an example of
103
:
00:05:58
104
:
00:06:02
acute care nursing and hands-on experience in emergency care dot,
105
:
00:06:05
106
:
00:06:09
Now, most of you start with I'm really excited to apply.
107
:
00:06:11
108
:
00:06:15
109
:
00:06:17
110
:
00:06:20
We are not cookie cutter generic. Like we just all do the same thing.
111
:
00:06:23
If you want to stand out, you have to colour outside the lines,
112
:
00:06:27
113
:
00:06:31
114
:
00:06:34
115
:
00:06:36
116
:
00:06:41
scattering in some buzzwords and some specific tailored words relevant to the job,
117
:
00:06:47
highlighting recent accomplishments or achievements,
118
:
00:06:50
accolades that you might have that are relevant.
119
:
00:06:52
120
:
00:06:55
but you're the, you know, the basketball volunteer cheerleader,
121
:
00:06:59
122
:
00:07:02
123
:
00:07:06
124
:
00:07:08
patient observation assessment skills, amazing.
125
:
00:07:11
Let's talk about that there. This is often where people get tripped up is
126
:
00:07:15
127
:
00:07:18
128
:
00:07:21
129
:
00:07:25
I think there's 8 billion, 9 billion. So just be kind to yourself,
130
:
00:07:28
allow yourself to regulate, and stop your brain from telling you you haven't done
131
:
00:07:32
132
:
00:07:35
Otherwise, you wouldn't have the pull and the desire to apply for the role.
133
:
00:07:38
So once we've highlighted our recent accomplishments and our leadership,
134
:
00:07:41
135
:
00:07:45
136
:
00:07:48
but they might be looking for something specific to graduate level roles,
137
:
00:07:51
we must acknowledge that in our summary and show them why we're perfect.
138
:
00:07:56
and so an example here would be something along the lines of currently I'm
139
:
00:08:01
140
:
00:08:03
where I deliver high-level, safe,
141
:
00:08:06
quality, uhm, policy and procedure-guided,
142
:
00:08:09
evidence-based nursing care to emergency patients.
143
:
00:08:12
Now, did you notice in there, there was so many buzzwords?
144
:
00:08:15
I know. We're not just buzzwords stuffing our professional summary like
145
:
00:08:19
146
:
00:08:23
147
:
00:08:26
148
:
00:08:29
149
:
00:08:31
150
:
00:08:34
151
:
00:08:37
we're not writing a story. You can always write what I call a shitty
152
:
00:08:40
153
:
00:08:43
154
:
00:08:46
Allow yourself to have an SFD. If you're struggling with this,
155
:
00:08:49
156
:
00:08:53
157
:
00:08:56
but just get it on the page. Now number three is future aspirations.
158
:
00:09:00
Where are you headed? Start stating or talking
159
:
00:09:04
160
:
00:09:08
161
:
00:09:10
that you are not, you know, trying to get a job as a clinical
162
:
00:09:13
163
:
00:09:15
164
:
00:09:18
165
:
00:09:20
166
:
00:09:25
You don't have to do this in a kiss-ass way, you can just be
167
:
00:09:28
168
:
00:09:30
169
:
00:09:35
170
:
00:09:39
171
:
00:09:42
oh, I'm a nurse, like, they just need nurses, you know, they'll take anybody
172
:
00:09:44
173
:
00:09:47
I know it happens, I've sat on those panels, but you don't want to
174
:
00:09:51
175
:
00:09:54
ego or mental health and wellbeing. Sure,
176
:
00:09:56
177
:
00:09:59
178
:
00:10:01
You want to be hired in a job where they really want you and
179
:
00:10:03
180
:
00:10:06
So we want to show them and do the research,
181
:
00:10:09
that we've done our research ahead of time, and we show them how we
182
:
00:10:13
183
:
00:10:15
their department is headed. You can do this by looking at things like the
184
:
00:10:19
185
:
00:10:24
186
:
00:10:27
reviewing the strategic plan, you can even throw it through chatGPT and say review
187
:
00:10:31
188
:
00:10:36
189
:
00:10:39
You can do lots of things. There's no excuse to not go in and
190
:
00:10:42
present a professional summary that is very specifically targeted and tailored to
191
:
00:10:47
192
:
00:10:51
actually quite clear and kind for the panel,
193
:
00:10:54
because they're trying to map out, like,
194
:
00:10:57
can they see you there? So if you can see yourself there and you
195
:
00:10:59
196
:
00:11:03
197
:
00:11:05
198
:
00:11:10
199
:
00:11:12
200
:
00:11:16
201
:
00:11:20
202
:
00:11:24
203
:
00:11:29
204
:
00:11:32
205
:
00:11:35
206
:
00:11:39
207
:
00:11:43
allow yourself to regulate and then hear your brain saying,
208
:
00:11:47
209
:
00:11:51
210
:
00:11:54
For example, for me, when I applied for jobs,
211
:
00:11:57
I would talk about having international nursing experience.
212
:
00:12:00
213
:
00:12:04
That gives me perspective. That gives me great levels of awareness and insight
214
:
00:12:08
215
:
00:12:12
216
:
00:12:14
217
:
00:12:17
Australia, a couple of states here and Fiji.
218
:
00:12:20
That's a unique selling point compared to somebody that's just like,
219
:
00:12:23
oh, I've worked in the same organisation my whole life. That's not a problem,
220
:
00:12:26
but notice the difference. We are competing whether you like it or not.
221
:
00:12:29
222
:
00:12:33
223
:
00:12:36
this is usually your professional experience prior to nursing.
224
:
00:12:40
So many of you, regardless of whether you've come straight out of school into
225
:
00:12:43
226
:
00:12:48
and you're bringing your diverse wisdom and life skills to the industry,
227
:
00:12:51
it's all relevant. It's what makes you unique and special.
228
:
00:12:55
And I'll give you some examples of what that looks like.
229
:
00:12:57
But in the past, we've had people that have worked in Burger King or
230
:
00:13:01
231
:
00:13:04
or Aldi, or Woolies or Kohl's. And their unique selling point is that they're
232
:
00:13:08
experts in customer service.
233
:
00:13:10
234
:
00:13:13
235
:
00:13:17
So they're able to leverage what they thought was not that significant as a
236
:
00:13:21
237
:
00:13:25
and you choose to leave them off your professional summary.
238
:
00:13:27
relevant degrees. So I've worked with people in the past that did pharmacy in
239
:
00:13:31
240
:
00:13:36
And they've chosen to leave that out. I'm like, why would you leave that
241
:
00:13:38
242
:
00:13:41
243
:
00:13:44
But not only that, like, it shows your diverse skills and knowledge in medication
244
:
00:13:48
245
:
00:13:54
and the medications that we use and the pathophysiology.
246
:
00:13:57
247
:
00:14:01
any nursing role. Yeah? So we want to mention that.
248
:
00:14:04
249
:
00:14:07
250
:
00:14:11
251
:
00:14:15
That is a unique selling point. You've seen the ins and outs of the
252
:
00:14:18
253
:
00:14:22
You've spent more time in it than probably most nurses have spent in it
254
:
00:14:26
with a sick or a sick loved one. And now you're coming to the
255
:
00:14:29
256
:
00:14:34
257
:
00:14:38
So you absolutely need to give yourself permission to find your unique selling point
258
:
00:14:42
259
:
00:14:45
okay? We all have something that we can offer. Now,
260
:
00:14:47
for some of you, you might be coming in as a second career nurse.
261
:
00:14:50
I've had people in the past that have come from creative fashion industries.
262
:
00:14:54
What the hell? That's amazing. Like, we love this.
263
:
00:14:57
We love people coming into nursing. But it's like, okay,
264
:
00:14:59
well, what can we bring from creative fashion industries?
265
:
00:15:02
Well, . As we dove into it, you know,
266
:
00:15:04
she had worked in real high-stress environments with very complex,
267
:
00:15:09
challenging, creative individuals.
268
:
00:15:11
And she had developed that skill set of managing and leading complex
269
:
00:15:16
270
:
00:15:19
high budget spends, right?
271
:
00:15:21
And she was able to operate and lead a creative project.
272
:
00:15:24
That is relevant to nursing because every day we see adversity.
273
:
00:15:28
274
:
00:15:30
patients, families and staff. And leaders and managers.
275
:
00:15:34
And so, therefore, she brings that skill set to the workforce.
276
:
00:15:37
Not only that, she's creative. She can bring her creative problem-solving skills.
277
:
00:15:42
And she might also look fabulous in scrubs every day because she's from the
278
:
00:15:45
279
:
00:15:50
280
:
00:15:52
like, property management. Like,
281
:
00:15:55
282
:
00:15:58
But again, it's relationship building, rapport building,
283
:
00:16:01
right? all of these quote-unquote self-sacrifices. Self-skills that we never want to talk about.
284
:
00:16:04
They're fundamental as nursing. Like, they're the basics that make you advanced.
285
:
00:16:08
So, finding that unique selling point,
286
:
00:16:11
and usually it comes from your, either your lived personal or your professional experience
287
:
00:16:16
288
:
00:16:18
For some of you, it will be the fact that you've already done the
289
:
00:16:21
290
:
00:16:24
But now you just want it permanently, or you want to be considered for
291
:
00:16:27
292
:
00:16:30
293
:
00:16:34
Can you see how that's true? So I want you to give yourself permission
294
:
00:16:38
to focus in on those things. And even if you really struggle,
295
:
00:16:41
296
:
00:16:43
I've not done anything in my life up until this point. I haven't worked.
297
:
00:16:47
Like, I've just, I've just come to nursing.
298
:
00:16:49
It's so rare. I've never heard of this. You just come to nursing,
299
:
00:16:52
and I've started my nursing career. Like, what is a specific skill that
300
:
00:16:57
301
:
00:17:00
Like, it just comes so easy to you. or Raise your own levels of
302
:
00:17:03
303
:
00:17:07
Like, I was chatting to a client this week,
304
:
00:17:09
305
:
00:17:13
and she's realising that her ability to consume data
306
:
00:17:18
307
:
00:17:22
and to advocate on behalf of patients, is her super skill.
308
:
00:17:26
The clinical stuff, the clinical like manual dexterity stuff,
309
:
00:17:30
not her thing, but the research research,
310
:
00:17:33
the data, the leadership, the advocacy,
311
:
00:17:36
or it lights her up. So find that thing,
312
:
00:17:39
there's always something, and pop it in there.
313
:
00:17:41
Okay, so 4 is highlighting your unique selling point.
314
:
00:17:45
This will sell the panel on why they should pick you,
315
:
00:17:47
and it will wake them up from the boring job of reading lots of
316
:
00:17:51
317
:
00:17:54
I love this, how cool. And then the fifth and final thing we're going
318
:
00:17:58
319
:
00:18:01
This is a non.
320
:
00:18:04
321
:
00:18:06
If you don't tailor anything else, you must at least tailor the vision
322
:
00:18:11
323
:
00:18:14
324
:
00:18:18
okay? So it can be just a simple one-liner,
325
:
00:18:22
which I'm going to give you some examples of in a second,
326
:
00:18:25
but we want to acknowledge that, and then be strategic with those words
327
:
00:18:30
throughout the rest of your resume. Okay, so you're not gonna keep writing this
328
:
00:18:32
329
:
00:18:36
330
:
00:18:39
you've already identified the vision and the values and some buzzwords,
331
:
00:18:43
and you've already crafted a beautiful summary, so you've already one step ahead.
332
:
00:18:47
This is why if you do your resume and your cover letter and your
333
:
00:18:49
334
:
00:18:53
I wish more people knew this. People try to do it the other way
335
:
00:18:56
336
:
00:18:59
337
:
00:19:02
338
:
00:19:06
339
:
00:19:10
340
:
00:19:15
That makes total sense. Of course you're going to doubt yourself when you go
341
:
00:19:17
342
:
00:19:19
so I strongly encourage you to do this ahead of time.
343
:
00:19:22
344
:
00:19:24
2, 3, 4, 5, we want to sprinkle as many buzzwords
345
:
00:19:29
346
:
00:19:34
347
:
00:19:39
It's, this is again a non-negotiable.
348
:
00:19:42
349
:
00:19:46
a, I always say you feel like a bit of a twat,
350
:
00:19:48
351
:
00:19:52
and you'll feel a bit silly because you don't speak like this.
352
:
00:19:55
In written form it's easier to write like this but when you start talking
353
:
00:19:58
354
:
00:20:01
you can feel a little ox again. Okay,
355
:
00:20:03
and here's what I want to tell you. If you feel awkward in the
356
:
00:20:06
357
:
00:20:11
358
:
00:20:13
359
:
00:20:16
360
:
00:20:19
Now, just to give you the career story arc framework again,
361
:
00:20:23
start with your past wherever you've been. Move to the present,
362
:
00:20:27
future aspirations, highlight your unique selling points and connect with the organisational
363
:
00:20:31
364
:
00:20:36
and buzzwords from the job ad and the job description and you call the
365
:
00:20:40
366
:
00:20:43
you've showed them interest because no one else does that but you're a high-performance
367
:
00:20:46
368
:
00:20:49
Now, let me give you some examples. So, I'm gonna start off with an
369
:
00:20:53
370
:
00:20:57
371
:
00:21:00
372
:
00:21:02
Okay, so professional career summary for a graduate nurse.
373
:
00:21:06
As a passionate and driven future graduate nurse,
374
:
00:21:09
I'm committed to utilizing my unique skill set to ensure I excel in perioperative
375
:
00:21:13
376
:
00:21:18
377
:
00:21:22
378
:
00:21:27
379
:
00:21:30
I've demonstrated my unwavering dedication.
380
:
00:21:33
381
:
00:21:38
382
:
00:21:41
Armed with a prior bachelor of public health,
383
:
00:21:44
I bring a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to my patient care,
384
:
00:21:47
385
:
00:21:50
advocacy, and prevention-based healthcare, strategies to improve patient outcomes,
386
:
00:21:54
387
:
00:21:57
388
:
00:22:02
389
:
00:22:05
psychologically safe rapport with my patients and their families.
390
:
00:22:09
I aim to become an expert in perioperative nursing and eventually share my expertise
391
:
00:22:13
392
:
00:22:17
My five years of experience working as a communication specialist in a professional insurance
393
:
00:22:21
394
:
00:22:25
395
:
00:22:30
experience of my public health education enabled me to effectively contribute to diverse
396
:
00:22:35
397
:
00:22:39
I am committed to building a sustainable long-term career as a nurse,
398
:
00:22:42
dedicated to improving patient outcomes and advancing the nursing field,
399
:
00:22:46
and I'm excited to embark on this chapter of my career within Better Health
400
:
00:22:50
401
:
00:22:54
402
:
00:22:58
403
:
00:23:03
404
:
00:23:08
It sounds a lot, right? Can you see there?
405
:
00:23:11
We followed the story arc, right? We have the five key pillars.
406
:
00:23:14
We've beautifully told them about our past. We've told them about where we are
407
:
00:23:18
408
:
00:23:23
our aspirations to be educator. We've talked about our unique selling point very heavily
409
:
00:23:28
410
:
00:23:31
411
:
00:23:33
Us words as we can throughout that. Your version of this will sound different.
412
:
00:23:37
That is just one example. I don't want you to copy that verbatim,
413
:
00:23:41
but use it as inspiration as to what yours could sound like.
414
:
00:23:44
How would you tell your story? I love that summary on a got great
415
:
00:23:49
416
:
00:23:53
So transition to practice. Here we go. With one year of graduate nursing experience,
417
:
00:23:58
primarily focused on emergency and surgical nursing and better health hospital,
418
:
00:24:01
I'm eager to apply for the 0.8 FTE Thank you.
419
:
00:24:04
420
:
00:24:08
421
:
00:24:12
422
:
00:24:16
I've been consistently recognized for my strong,
423
:
00:24:18
critical thinking, rapid assessment skills and ability to provide patient-centered care in high-pressure
424
:
00:24:23
425
:
00:24:27
426
:
00:24:32
to manage acute and complex cases, respond effectively in time-sensitive situations,
427
:
00:24:37
and collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams to deliver optimal
428
:
00:24:42
429
:
00:24:47
trusting relationships with both patients and their families,
430
:
00:24:50
ensuring that they feel informed and supported throughout their healthcare journey.
431
:
00:24:53
I'm proud to contribute to Better Health Hospital's commitment to excellent compassion and teamwork,
432
:
00:24:58
values I embody in my own daily practice.
433
:
00:25:01
I'm dedicated to ongoing professional development.
434
:
00:25:04
435
:
00:25:07
436
:
00:25:10
437
:
00:25:14
438
:
00:25:18
439
:
00:25:22
Again, what's great here is we're positioning this individual,
440
:
00:25:25
441
:
00:25:28
442
:
00:25:31
how it's aligned. and they are applying for an emergency visa.
443
:
00:25:35
444
:
00:25:39
We've offered their unique selling point. Absolutely everything in there.
445
:
00:25:43
If we could do one thing more there, it probably would be talk more
446
:
00:25:46
447
:
00:25:49
but really for this individual, the value add here,
448
:
00:25:52
and the reason why we didn't do that, is because they've already been an
449
:
00:25:55
ED. And so it makes the panel's job easier because they've already been there.
450
:
00:25:59
451
:
00:26:01
452
:
00:26:04
453
:
00:26:07
like transition from graduate program into a specialty example of a summary.
454
:
00:26:11
455
:
00:26:15
456
:
00:26:17
457
:
00:26:19
458
:
00:26:23
459
:
00:26:28
460
:
00:26:31
461
:
00:26:34
And if you're aspiring for this, then this is how you smash it and
462
:
00:26:37
463
:
00:26:42
with over 30 years of diverse healthcare,
464
:
00:26:45
like even that, straight away, I'm like,
465
:
00:26:47
oh, 30 years. Wow, that's amazing. Sorry,
466
:
00:26:49

470
:
00:27:05
471
:
00:27:10
472
:
00:27:12
473
:
00:27:15
surgical care at patients and infectious disease management,
474
:
00:27:19
475
:
00:27:23
476
:
00:27:29
I have been honoured with numerous accolades,
477
:
00:27:31
including a HESTA nomination, for my excellent excellence in nursing,
478
:
00:27:35
highlighting my contributions to the field and my commitment to personal and professional growth.
479
:
00:27:40
As a leader, I've contributed to and cultivated continuous improvement,
480
:
00:27:44
elevating the quality and safety of healthcare delivery across various complex teamwork environments
481
:
00:27:49
and significantly enhancing patient outcomes,
482
:
00:27:52
staff development and culture across Better Health Hospital.
483
:
00:27:55
484
:
00:28:00
485
:
00:28:03
With exceptional interpersonal abilities, I effectively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
486
:
00:28:08
and connect with patients and families, creating a supportive,
487
:
00:28:11
psychologically safe healthcare setting. I'm confident the unique combination of my

:
00:28:20
490
:
00:28:24
contributing to a culture of excellence aligned with the core values of care,
491

00:28:29
integrity, respect, excellence, and teamwork." Boom!

00:28:32
That's a mic drop. That is, So friggin' good.
493
:
00:28:36
I get excited about this shit, because that is just crystal clear.
494
:
00:28:39
495
:
00:28:42
Sorry for shouting, I'm sorry if I got a fright.
496
:
00:28:45
Can you see how we started with this individual's past and that already packed
497
:
00:28:49
498
:
00:28:51
It's kind of like TikTok or social media, like, ooh, I want to read
499
:
00:28:54
500
:
00:28:56
Okay, they're working in a clinical nurse position right now.
501
:
00:29:00
And also, we're jumping ahead here to number four,
502
:
00:29:03
but they highlighted their unique selling point. I've already done this.
503
:
00:29:06
I've been in senior leadership levels before.
504
:
00:29:08
505
:
00:29:11
506
:
00:29:13
507
:
00:29:16
508
:
00:29:18
509
:
00:29:23
510
:
00:29:28
summary. So that, my friend, is how you absolutely friggin' smash your
511
:
00:29:33
512
:
00:29:38
513
:
00:29:43
514
:
00:29:45
period. It stops now. And as you can hopefully see,
515
:
00:29:50
even in listening to me reading that out, can you imagine if the panel
516
:
00:29:53
517
:
00:29:55
518
:
00:29:59
519
:
00:30:01
520
:
00:30:04
Perfect response to that. Let's say they ask you,
521
:
00:30:07
Liam, working at Better Health Hospital is a real,
522
:
00:30:12
you know, exciting opportunity for you to develop and grow your career,
523
:
00:30:15
and our values of care, integrity, respect, excellence,
524
:
00:30:17
and teamwork are really important to us. Can you tell us how you've embodied
525
:
00:30:21
526
:
00:30:25
Okay? I hope you can see this. I'm just going to repeat the same
527
:
00:30:28
528
:
00:30:31
I would probably just start off with, over my 30 year career,
529
:
00:30:34
530
:
00:30:37
531
:
00:30:42
like type roles, and then I just not read it verbatim,
532
:
00:30:46
like a newsreader, but I'm going to use the same response.
533
:
00:30:49
Can you see how that's true? It doesn't matter what question they ask you
534
:
00:30:53
for that icebreaker. It is just so important that
535
:
00:30:57
536
:
00:31:01
and you repurpose the work you've already done.
537
:
00:31:04
Don't make it Don't make it prepping for interview harder than it needs to
538
:
00:31:06
