Job searching can feel 10x harder when the process isn’t built for how your brain works.

In Part 2 of our neurodivergence series, Sarah and Emma dive into the real challenges listeners are facing, from overwhelming applications and missed deadlines to blanking in interviews, needing more time, and struggling with unclear expectations.

This episode is packed with practical tips and realistic ways to navigate the process, along with where accommodations can make a genuine difference.

Plus, some great advice from fellow neurodivergent Interview Boss listeners!

In Part 3 of this series, we'll tackle the big question: should you disclose?

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Liv who bought us 3 coffees!

"Hey Emma & Sarah! After listening to so many fantastic stories from your listeners, I finally get to share my own! In January I moved to Sydney (on my own) from Auckland. I’d just spent 7 years working for the same company, and had been shoulder tapped for most roles during that time, so my CV and interview prep were certainly in need of some help. Not only was I in a new city, I quit my job and set myself an ambitious goal to get out of Supply Chain sales and dive head first into the Tech industry. I applied for about 30-40 roles and was interviewed for around 10. Thanks to your support, it only took me 4 weeks to land on the company of my dreams! And the CEO told me yesterday that I gave one of the best functional interviews they’d ever seen. Across the 4 stage interview process I was well-prepared with my best bits. I even followed up afterwards when I thought of a better answer! I’m now 4 weeks in and I’m so grateful to be here. Thanks again, for everything you do. Liv x”

Leaving a job can be messy. Sometimes it’s straightforward…and sometimes it comes with a nagging voice in the back of your head asking: should I finally speak my mind?

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma dive into the complicated world of post-exit feedback. We unpack a listener dilemma from Judy, who left a toxic workplace and is now being asked by HR to share her experience as part of an internal investigation.

We break down the real risks, especially in small industries, like where your feedback might end up, who might hear it, and whether anything will actually change. We also discuss how to approach the conversation if you do decide to engage, from testing how serious the company is, to giving clear, constructive feedback that protects you while still being impactful.

"At 34, I thought that I was doomed to manage convenience stores for the rest of my life, as it is all I have ever done. But my desire to make a change was strong, so I prepared myself as well as I could, which led me to your podcast. After months of countless applications and rejections, I finally got offered my dream sales job in a field that is convenience store adjacent. Let this be a lesson that the advice that you guys dispense is universal, and not just for the academic world. If I can do it, anyone can, and if you feel stuck, do something about it. Thanks Interview Boss!”

Starting your first internship can feel intimidating, especially if it’s your first time in a corporate environment.

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down exactly how to impress from day one. From getting the dress code right and setting up your systems, to knowing when to ask questions (and when to back yourself), we cover the small details that make a big impact.

We unpack how to stay organised, show initiative without overstepping, and build confidence even if you’re shy or feel out of your depth.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Christina who bought us 5 coffees!

“I found Interview Boss the night before an interview and started with the episode meant for right before you go in. I immediately laughed when they said something like, 'If you’re listening to this to try and prepare for an interview…you’re listening at the wrong time.' Message received! So I went back and started listening to more episodes in the weeks leading up to my interviews. I had been in the same industry for 14 years and was finally ready to make a career change, which was both exciting and honestly a little intimidating. Your podcast helped me slow down and really think through my value, how to tell my story, and how to communicate my experience in a way that actually connected in interviews. By the time I went through the process, I felt so much more confident and prepared than I expected. And the best part…I got the job! Thank you for creating such thoughtful, practical, and encouraging content. It truly made a difference in my interview journey.”
