1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,000
Speaker 1: Let's get.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: It's a Fitsy and Weaver Withy podcast. Hello everyone, Welcome

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: to the producer's edition of the pod. I am the

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: producer in question. My name is Jess. I've worked on

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: the show for about three years now, and I'm giving

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: you guys a little bit of insight into some of

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: the breaks that we recorded, some of my favorite moments

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: from across the year. I had to play this break

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: because FITZI gives a great example of what bosses sometimes

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: do in an interview to test the person they're interviewing

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: to make sure they're the right fit for the company.

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: And I wanted to share this story because when I

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: first interviewed at Nova, which I think was seven years ago,

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: I was sitting in reception and a famous celebrity came

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: into reception at the same time, and that was Hailey Steinfeld.

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: You might know her from this song, so she was huge.

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: She was on Pitch Perfect at the time. This is

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: another one of her songs, rock Bottom. She's been in

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: movies since she was super her young right, so she's

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: had a big career and I saw her come in

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: and I thought, this is it. This is a test

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: they're checking if I can work in a company where

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 2: we have celebs coming in and out all day without

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: being you know, a loser that jumps up and asks

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: for a selfie. So I picked up a magazine. I

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: kept my head down the whole time, and with sort

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: of two to three minutes, Smausey's producer had come and

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: grabbed her and she'd gone into the next room, and

29
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: I thought, perfect, I've passed that test. I went down

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: and had my interview and I didn't mention it again,

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: and then I think I got a call back like

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: a week later saying congratulations, you've got the job, you know,

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: welcome to NOVA. And I said, ah, that was amazing.

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: Who who else do you normally have come in to

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: do the celebrity interview test? And they were sort of

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: like what, like, what are you talking about? What does

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: that mean? I said, you know what, celebs come in

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: to test the new people that you know, they're not

39
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: going to take selfies. I'm pretty sure I was lucky

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: to keep the job after being that stupid.

41
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: They don't do that.

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Smasey just had an interview with her at the same time.

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: So that's not a test that goes on here NOV.

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: But there are a few tests in this podcast and

45
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy it. Fitzi and Weaver with k

46
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: Richie on Nova.

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: This is interesting because a couple of bosses have shared

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: their experiences about well they want to help you out

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: when you go for your JOm interview, it is. It

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: is so nerve wracking because that question of answering you

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: know what are your what are your what are your weaknesses?

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: And you know what are you good at? What can

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: you offer this company. I think what gets you is

54
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: usually your own head noise. It's that when you think

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: about the experience itself, it's not that bad. You have

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: to answer a few questions and prove that you're great.

57
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: But if you don't think you are in that head

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,279
Speaker 3: of yours.

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: You've got no jack. Well, there's one boss here that says,

60
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: it's not about we know you to credentials if you're

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: going for the job, but we can see your resume

62
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: and we know that you're qualified to do that job

63
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: for us, it's more about character. I've got two situations

64
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that they might use here. One of them is they

65
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: have two chairs. When you walk into the room for

66
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: the interview, and obviously your chair is there. He'll say,

67
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: this is your chair. They actually one of the legs

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: on the chair will be shorter than the other three, right,

69
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: So they know that it's going to deliberately it's going

70
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: to be visibly uncomfortable for you, and they will test

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: your character to see if you are man enough or

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: woman enough to actually stand up and say, look, I'm

73
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: really really sorry, but I'm uncomfortable with this. Can I

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: go and get another chair?

75
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: Or do you just sit there and work through the Paines.

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: Represent bravery in any way.

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Speaking up, it's speaking up, speaking up only if you're

78
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: thrown by that.

79
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: It could also represent that you are great under pressure

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: because you're not thrown by a slight lean on your chair.

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: You're happy to put up with. You don't care about it.

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: You're so focused on your task you're not going to

83
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: worry about a small lean.

84
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Well, the other one said. The other one as well.

85
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: Is a guy that worked at zero here in Australia.

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: What he used to do if there was a success

87
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: or a couple of candidates that he really liked used

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: to take them down to the kitchen kate. So in

89
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: the office he would go, well, let's go for a walk.

90
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: I'll show you around and give you a bit of

91
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: a tour of the office, take it down to the kitchen,

92
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: and he would make them have a drink, whether it

93
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: was just a water and a marg Ori. Do you

94
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: want a coffee tea? I'm having a tea. Come on,

95
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: have a tea with me. Then they would go back

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: to the office, and testing their character was at the

97
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: end of the interview. Whether they would take that mug

98
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: back to the kitchen or whether they would leave it

99
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: in his stupid.

100
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: Well, it depends how far the kitchen is.

101
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: Stupid.

102
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: I wouldn't because I'd get lost on the way back.

103
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: You've always got to pick up after you, don't you.

104
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: He would go if they left the mug in my office,

105
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: but I know that person wouldn't.

106
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 4: Be they going for a job as a cleaner. If

107
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 4: it was a job as a cleaner, maybe, but no.

108
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: If you're looking for a job in accounts, I don't

109
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 4: care if you return your cup to the sink. I

110
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: think if you can crush the numbers and handle a spreadsheet.

111
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: Then I mentioned I got in the lift the other

112
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: day to go and pick up my tickets for the

113
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: city to serve for More Park in More Park, and

114
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: I got in the left and it was the slowest

115
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: lift in the world. So I'm in there with one

116
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 4: other girl and I said, oh, are you picking up

117
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: your tickets for the city to serve? And she went, no,

118
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 4: I'm going for a job interview. I said, oh, great,

119
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 4: that's exciting. How are you feeling about it? And she said, okay,

120
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: I think I've worked out how to be greater than

121
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: a job interview.

122
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: And I said, what's that?

123
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: She said, just to be yourself and to go in there.

124
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: How's your day been?

125
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Not bad?

126
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: Kids were ripping my hair out this morning, But I'm

127
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: excited about this opportunity.

128
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: She didn't get the job, though.

129
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: That she didn't she's for three years, just creeped out

130
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: by the guy.

131
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: Thirteen's on the dollars thirteen twenty fourteen was a disaster

Speaker 4: What happened? Verity?

153
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 5: So? I wasn't an interviewee, but I was an interviewer

154
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 5: and I was interviewing this gentleman for a bartender job.

155
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 5: And he we're sitting in the interview. He had great experience,

156
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 5: came to a really great background, doing the general questions

157
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: about what he's looking for. And I noticed he's not

158
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 5: making eye contact with me like refusers. So I was like, nerves,

159
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,120

161
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 5: I'd love to offer you the job. I just want

162
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 5: to know why you're not making eye contact. You know,

163
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000

164
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,799

166
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,680

167
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 5: make eye contact because I don't want you to get

168
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: the wrong impression.

169
