We missed you this time around!

This show is called guidance counselor 2.0, because we had guidance counselors in middle school, high school and college, but now as adults we don't have access to that kind of resource — or at least we didn’t, until now. this is the “soft skills” podcast of the software engineering industry, focused on hiring and job search tips. host taylor desseyn and his guests fill in that guidance counselor role, and give job seekers the advice they need to find their next position.
Today is a solo episode, where Taylor will be workshopping one of the hardest interview questions out there: “tell me about yourself.”
During this live, Taylor will walk through:
• how to stop rambling and start answering with confidence
• a simple structure you can reuse for any interview
• examples of strong “tell me about yourself” answers
Bring your current answer (or even just some rough ideas) and workshop it live so you can walk away with a version you actually feel good about.
