  • 96 Mining Job Interview Questions - MM's Daughter's experience
    Jul 28 2024

    Job interviews can be a nerve-wracking experience, filled with anticipation and uncertainty. In this episode, we delve into the rollercoaster ride of Mad Mumzie's daughter's phone interview. We explore the tricky interview questions that threw her off and how she got through them.

    The interview kicks off with a seemingly straightforward question: "What does safety mean to you?" This question, though simple, sets the tone for the rest of the interview. It's a reminder that interviewers are not just looking for technical skills, but also for insight into a candidate's values and mindset.

    So, did she get the job? You'll have to listen to the full episode to find out. But regardless of the outcome, her story is a powerful reminder that interviews are not just about answering questions correctly. They're about showcasing who you are, how you think, and how you handle challenges.
