Have you ever walked out of an interview thinking, “That went amazing!”…

…only to never hear back?

Or maybe you were this close to landing a role and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t work out?

Well, I recently spent several days reviewing 30+ applications and interviewing candidates for a contract role on Team Badass—and what I saw confirmed a lot of what I’ve been coaching you to do all along.

Some people absolutely stood out. Others missed the mark entirely.

So in this episode, I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and how the strongest applicants presented themselves in a way that felt clear, aligned, and easy to say yes to.

You’ll hear the real reasons certain people moved forward—and why others didn’t—even when we had amazing conversations. I’ll also share what surprised me, what turned me off instantly, and how the follow-up made a bigger difference than most people realize.

This episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer is packed with real examples from my own hiring process so you can feel more confident and strategic the next time you put yourself out there.

Let’s go.
