218: How to Impress in an Internship (and Get Hired After)
About this episode
Starting your first internship can feel intimidating, especially if it’s your first time in a corporate environment.
In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down exactly how to impress from day one. From getting the dress code right and setting up your systems, to knowing when to ask questions (and when to back yourself), we cover the small details that make a big impact.
We unpack how to stay organised, show initiative without overstepping, and build confidence even if you’re shy or feel out of your depth.

“I found Interview Boss the night before an interview and started with the episode meant for right before you go in. I immediately laughed when they said something like, 'If you’re listening to this to try and prepare for an interview…you’re listening at the wrong time.' Message received! So I went back and started listening to more episodes in the weeks leading up to my interviews. I had been in the same industry for 14 years and was finally ready to make a career change, which was both exciting and honestly a little intimidating. Your podcast helped me slow down and really think through my value, how to tell my story, and how to communicate my experience in a way that actually connected in interviews. By the time I went through the process, I felt so much more confident and prepared than I expected. And the best part…I got the job! Thank you for creating such thoughtful, practical, and encouraging content. It truly made a difference in my interview journey.”
