Welcome to Secure the Damn Job, a special series on Five with Fry where I break down what actually works when you're applying for jobs. Sponsored by Hyreable (the career development wing of JenFryTalks), this three-part series covers cover letters, resumes, and interviews with real talk, real strategy, and zero fluff. Whether you're making a career move or entering the workforce, I’m here to help you show up strong and get hired.
We’ve covered cover letters. We’ve fixed your resume. Now it’s time to tackle the part that makes most folks sweat: the interview.
In this final episode of the series, I’m walking you through five key strategies to help you prep with confidence and actually show up ready. From “Tell me about yourself” to “Why do you want this job?”...we’re not winging it. We’re walking in with a plan.
Here’s what we’re digging into:
- Why saving the job description is one of the smartest prep moves you can make
- How to research a company without sounding like you copied their About page
- What to say when they hit you with “Tell me about yourself” (and where not to start)
- How to connect your experience to their needs with a clear, tailored response to “Why do you want this job?”
- And how to prep answers for predictable questions like strengths, weaknesses, and past mistakes—without rambling or blacking out mid-sentence
This episode is all about helping you show up ready to speak with clarity, confidence, and purpose—so you don’t leave the interview wondering what the hell just happened.
Ready to turn awkward interviews into offer letters? Hit play now.
