Listen to the full episode below:

Are you looking for a school counseling job? Whether you’re getting ready to graduate and trying to land your very first school counseling position or you’re a seasoned counselor who is looking for a new position, interviewing can be stressful.

This episode comes straight out of my Stress Free School Counseling Bootcamp program. It’s totally FREE to join! If you’re an intern, just graduated, or recently hired, this bootcamp is for you! You’ll get the tools, inspiration, and support you need to transform your counseling program and hit the ground running from day one.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 steps that will have you feeling totally prepared to rock the interview process. I was super disappointed when I didn’t land the job of my dreams my first year out of grad school, but I didn’t let that disappointment stop me from gaining invaluable experience and preparing myself to land my dream job the next year.

I want you to learn from my mistakes and experiences so you can have a stress-free and enjoyable interview process and land the job you want!

I decided to do this episode after a listener reached out to me and told me she and other students from her cohort were stressing out about upcoming interviews. I love to hear from my listeners, so please reach out to me on Instagram and let me know if there’s a topic you’d like me to cover.

Some topics covered in this episode are:

  • Where to find jobs to apply for and why it’s a good idea to be flexible and willing to get out of your comfort zone

  • Resume must-haves and what to include if you don’t have school counseling experience

  • How to dress for success so you look polished and professional

  • How to shine during your interview, even if you don’t have a lot of counseling experience

  • Why sending a handwritten thank you card goes such a long way
