Talking Split · 201: Coach Interviews · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

So it's okay to say to your interviewer, just give me a second to think about that one.

That's a really great question.

I want to formulate my thoughts before I talk.

That's a great response.

And buy yourself a little bit of time.

And then if you really genuinely don't know the answer, be honest about it.

Because if that's the answer, if you fluff through that and it's a key point of the role, it's either not going to get you the opportunity or you'll get the opportunity and it will come out later in the process that I actually know nothing about that topic.

Absolutely.

We've sat in interviews together and having asked a question that looks like a good question, you can tell that it's not a good question when none of your candidates can answer it.

That's not a candidate problem, that's an interview kind of problem.

Is that fair, Cathy?

And I think that's in terms of how you dress.

Whilst there's no dress code as such, how you dress is part of your preparation, right?

If you're putting on a freshly pressed shirt or some slacks or changing out of your basketball gear into something different, it's a mindset shift.

And you're telling yourself, I'm walking into a different environment here.

So it's as much about that internal messaging as it is about the external messaging.

Um, like a preparation.

Yep.

Uh,

Simply not understanding what the rule is means you haven't read the most basic of details.
