0005 Scotland and Eurovision

If you’ve found the perfect company to work for, you don’t need to land the perfect job…yet. After all, even if you’re in a less-than-perfect position, you can apply for a more suitable job internally as soon as it opens. By then, you will have had the chance to show your quality of work, work ethic, and commitment to the company, making you an ideal candidate.

While interviewing for an internal position is a wonderful opportunity, it includes unique challenges. One of the biggest mistakes people make when interviewing internally is failing to prepare adequately. They may believe the interview is simply a formality, and they have the job in the bag. Their interviewer may be familiar with their work, so they may not arrive prepared to talk about the specifics of their contributions. And finally, they may have a friendly relationship with the interviewer and treat the interview too casually. 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to get my tips to prepare for an internal job interview and get the job you want!

🎙️ Why Perfectionism Kills Your IELTS Fluency — and What to Do in 3 Seconds.

I’ve seen it hundreds of times — students who know all the grammar, all the phrases, yet freeze the moment they have to speak. Their voice tightens, their mind goes blank, and all that knowledge disappears.

In this episode, I talk about why that happens — and why perfectionism is the real enemy of fluency. I’ll share a story from one of my students, explain what’s going on in your head when you start overthinking, and show you a simple 3-second shift that helps you sound calm, confident, and real — even in front of an examiner.

If you’ve ever felt that your English suddenly “dies” when you need it most, this episode will help you bring it back to life.

Stay till the end — I’ve got a small bonus for you and a way to get personal feedback after the episode.
