Job interview prep after redundancy is a weird little moment where you finally get the interview and your body reacts like you’ve been booked in for something far more dramatic than 'a chat about your experience.'

In this episode I talk through the pre-interview prep that helps me show up clearly when confidence is wobbly and my brain is prone to going blank. I share how I build an 'evidence bank' of what I’ve actually done, how I go line-by-line through my CV so I don’t get caught out by my own bullet points and how I research the role and company without disappearing into productivity-shaped panic.

I also cover the part that's more important than I first realised getting your examples out of your head and into your mouth. I practise saying them out loud so the impact lands without me taking a scenic route through the backstory and I keep the focus on what I did, what changed, and why it mattered.

Finally, we get into the day-of nerves: simple cue-card prompts, a mindset shift that stays firmly on the right side of “manifesting,” and a breathing technique I use when my heart rate starts doing its own interview.

If you’re job searching after redundancy and you’ve got an interview coming up or you just want a calmer, more structured way to prepare this will help you represent yourself in your best light without turning prep into a second (unpaid) full-time job.
