More helpful than I ever expected!

This podcast does not give the same answers you see on every webpage on the topic. The interviewer has really great questions for her guests,who are top-notch. What is extremely helpful has been exact wording examples to use for everything from thank you emails at the end, how to answer difficult questions and what exactly to say when you want to start negotiating a salary. Well done! This is a lifeline for those of us and stressful situations. So far and others on the topic. I rarely reviews for podcasts, but this definitely merited it.
