Welcome back for our 23rd Career Insight podcast on How To Be An Excellent Interview Candidate. We are joined by our host Sarah Burgess and 10Eighty Career Coaches Marc Whitmore and Maria Mann. In today’s episode, we will look at how an excellent candidate prepares for an interview, how they build rapport, how they answer the vague questions such as 'tell me about yourself?' and much more.  Applying for jobs is a competitive process and it is estimated that an employer will interview between 6 - 10 candidates for a single job. It is important to distinguish yourself from other candidates. This episode will provide you with the necessary information on how you can become an excellent candidate.  Meet The Coaches Marc Whitmore - Career Coach Marc is an award-winning HR Senior Leader who has a legacy of sustained tangible results with the strategies he has developed and delivered.
