Our Platform Is Yours

If you are comfortable with a modest amount of spotlight, being interviewed can boost your career and our cause. We need high quality educational content for our clients and subscribers and your experience is the best source. We also want to spread the word of what we are working toward.

By being interviewed and sharing your experience, we can teach others about industry trends, hiring processes, and career development. The interview format is especially value due to its multimedia format, which can be distributed across a wide range of media platforms.

What To Expect

Overall, we want to keep the process light, fun, and professional. We want to feel prepared and polished without tons of pressure.

First, we'll pick a format. Do you want a long-form interview like a news show or podcast? Or would you prefer to perform a mock interview or resume review?

Next, we'll plan out the questions and answers in advance, so that you aren't on the spot. Check out the example topics and questions below.

Afterward, we'll meet online where we can easily record and transcribe the interview.

Later, I'll edit the interview into the final distribution formats and review them together.

Finally, we'll upload the media and start sharing!
