Many people approach job searches backwards, trying to squeeze themselves into the mold of what a company is looking for in a candidate. But there are two sides to every hiring decision, and who you are and what you want is just as important as the job description. Jamie Tilotta Green is one of the most respected recruiters in Silicon Valley, and has helped some of the world’s most influential tech companies find their senior leaders. In this episode, Jamie joins Molly to take a closer look at what it actually means to be a good fit for a job, and how to effectively and authentically tell your story in an interview. She also offers advice on how to identify your key strengths, shares strategies for finding out the truth about what a company is actually like before you take the job, and reflects on the things that never change about hiring.

  • Hey everyone, Molly here.

  • When I agreed to come on as the new host of Work Life, I was terrified.

  • But I was also excited to learn from our amazing guests

  • and to share insights that could help all of you, our listeners.

  • One of my favorite takeaways so far came from Kaya Henderson, an iconic leader

  • who told me that leadership is really all about listening and co-creating success with your community.

  • So I have a request for you.

  • Please fill out the Work Life audience survey.

  • It's quick, it's easy, and it's linked in the description for this week's episode.

  • And it'll help us all make this show the best it can be.

  • Thanks for listening to Work Life.

  • So fit is an alignment of skills, culture, vibes, and motivation.

  • Interview processes are largely not designed to give that to you.

  • They're designed to give you headlines.

  • They're designed to give you good news.

  • They're not designed to give you what the real challenge is.

  • I encourage people to try to get to the work.

  • They can use that language to say, I'm just trying to get the real deal on the work

  • and to make sure it lines up and that I'm going to come in and crush this job.

  • Really try to help people connect to what it is that they want at a very authentic level.
