Job interviews can be stressful for anyone, but introverts may have additional challenges to address and overcome—and we’re here to help.
An introvert’s natural tendency to steer away from talking about themselves and discomfort in large or unfamiliar settings can make it seem that they’re not interested in the job or not confident in their abilities.
However, an introvert’s ability to exceed with listening, thinking, and reflecting are all skills they can use to their advantage in many situations, including interviews! It may not come naturally, but with a little practice, you’ll be impressing the interviewer.
Extroverts and ambiverts, you aren’t forgotten! Many of the tips and resources can be used by anyone while they prepare for an interview, including remote interviews. Attend this webinar for great tips and resources!

4 myths about making a career change
2025-06-27 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
Why does it seem like so many people have made career changes?
How did they do it? 🤔
This was the question I was asking myself when making my career change.
By all measures my career pivot ended up being a raging success. I pivoted from teaching high school to working at Microsoft in four months.
But it almost didn’t happen.
Let’s back up to the summer of 2014.
I knew I wanted a role in tech, so I did what most people do – I started on LinkedIn.
But LinkedIn’s algorithm told me I wasn’t qualified for anything except what I had already been doing.
LinkedIn was wrong.😯
Not only did I land a role at Microsoft, but a year after that, I was in my dream job at a startup that went public.
In four years I was able to 2.3x my income and become a hiring manager, building and leading a team of 8.
But I knew that I wasn’t special. I saw how much the career landscape was changing and how hiring teams NEEDED career changers.
