Behavioral interview questions require candidates to share examples of specific situations they’ve been in where they had to use certain skills. These are also probably the most dreaded interview questions—those “tell me about a time when…” questions we all hope we don’t get asked.

We’ll also hear from Ali O’Reilly, a career coach and expert on this strategy.

Meet Dr. Leah Sheppard a researcher at Washington State University who’s recent work found that attractive businesswomen are thought by supervisors, colleagues, and employees alike to be less trustworthy and more expendable.

Put another way, women cannot catch a break. In this episode, we’ll discuss why this gender stereotype and bias exist and what you can do about it. And, to add insult to injury, Dr. Leah will explain why the workplace treats conflict among women differently and how you can address that imbalance as well.
