Episode Description from the Publisher

Replaying your worst interview answer on a loop? You're not alone and it probably says less about you than you think. In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores why we ruminate over interview mistakes, the difference between a poor answer and a poor candidate, and how to use post-interview embarrassment as information rather than punishment. 🎧 Listen to the Professor Paul Gilbert Lessons in Psychology Compassion episode here: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/8b8a45e2-aa6a-4802-8e01-26ebd2d6a412/ Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N40b5TmxQko#InterviewAnxiety #SelfCompassion #InnerWorkPodcast💡 Want to support the channel?
