Description

What if I told you the #1 thing sabotaging your Customer Success interviews isn’t your experience, your skills, or even your nerves... but overthinking before you ever walk in the door? If prepping for interviews sends you spinning into self-doubt and second-guessing every possible question, this episode is the one you can’t afford to skip.

I’m sitting down with Zach, our all-star CS coach and talent acquisition pro, to dissect exactly why overpreparing leaves you sounding disorganized and less confident (and how hiring managers pick up on it instantly). We’ll crack open the mindset shift you need to stop prepping from a place of fear, and break down Zach’s proven framework that will help you show up organized, authentic, and ready to win. You’ll hear the worst mistakes job seekers make when spiraling, super actionable ways to find your “superpower,” and how to leave interviews feeling empowered, not deflated.

If you’re tired of your interviews not reflecting the awesome CSM you actually are, you’ll walk away from this episode knowing exactly how to prep with clarity, show up with confidence, and finally get out of your own way.
