Short Term Career Goals: Interview Answers

Eileen Hoenigman Meyer has been coaching job seekers since she started writing for Glassdoor’s blog in 2016. Her articles about job search strategy, interview preparation, communication, leadership, and workplace culture have appeared in Fast Company, CNBC, NBC News, Yahoo News, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, and PopSugar. Eileen has two English degrees, and she’s a former writing teacher. After working in the non-profit sector for more than a decade, Eileen has plenty of experience interviewing job candidates. Much of what she shares with Glassdoor’s readers is what she wishes she could have whispered to some of those candidates during their interviews; she’s always been rooting for job seekers.
