How to prepare for a job interview. Tips from Employment Services at the SF LGBT Center‪.‬ QPOD - queer journeys podcast

Cheyl Lala joins us on the show today to talk about how to prepare for an interview and special considerations for LGBTQ people. Cheryl is the Director of Employment Services at the SF LGBT Center where I volunteer as a job coach. We wanted to put together a resource for queer folks to help with their job search and interview process.  We’ll be covering the following topics: -  How should I start preparing for an interview? -  What should I wear to an interview? Culture / recruiter recommendation.  -  Should I come out during an interview? Interviewing can be a stressful time. Should I bring up my sexuality or gender identity during the interview? -  How do you answer the common questions from interviewers “Do you have any questions for me?”   -  Where can people go to get additional help? What services does the Center provide and does it cost anything? FYI. Everything is free!  More information about the SF LGBT Center: a nonprofit organization serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community of San Francisco, California, and nearby communities, located at 1800 Market Street. Our mission is to connect our diverse community to opportunities, resources and each other to achieve our vision of a stronger, healthier, and more equitable world for LGBTQ people and our allies.  https://www.sfcenter.org/
