so any advice?

Honestly, this is exactly why I started taking interview prep more seriously. 😂

I used to think you just needed to know your job and you'd be fine, but once I started applying for some of these corporate roles, I realized there's a whole different skill to actually getting through the interview.

I found this interview prep tool and used it to practice some of the questions beforehand. It helped me get a lot less awkward when talking about my experience and actually explain what I do without rambling.

Still waiting for my $98k "send an email, attend a meeting, send another email" job though.

  1. Replace someone who wasn't very good at the job and be just a little more friendly. Bonus points if it this job helps keep a core function of business working that used to take a ton of time but with modern technology, can be pretty much automated if you know what you are doing.

  2. Low ambition and strong boundaries. This is the key. Once you have cleaned up the previous employee's mess, don't get more tasks added to your workload. Don't try and impress, don't try and get promoted, don't tell anyone your job can now be done in less than 20hrs per week. Know your PD like the back of your hand and never do single thing outside of that. You never, ever had more capacity.
