You’re going to be just fine.
Who it’s for
For the girl with an interview on the calendar and a mild case of anxiety
Maybe it’s your first real job. Maybe you’re switching careers, or going after the one you actually want this time. Either way, you’ve done the hard part and gotten the interview. This book is about the rest of it: how to prepare without overthinking, what to say when they ask you to tell them about yourself, and how to talk about money without wanting to disappear.
