In this episode, we chat with the VP of Human Resources at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kristin Hamwey. Our conversation revolves around internship interviews, how to approach them correctly, how to be prepared for them, and what we should avoid doing in them. Kristin shared some examples of networking done right, what she looks for in a candidate during an interview, and much more. If you enjoyed the show, please leave us a five-star iTunes review. **********************************************************************"Don't be afraid of making that connection with someone in sports. You may not get any answer, but, someday you will. And I assure you it will open doors." Kristin Hamwey. Kristin is an accomplished Human Resources Executive with over 30 years of experience helping organizations reach their goals and succeed. She is a creative thinker, focused on matching the needs and skills of employees with the mission of the organization they work for. Kristin worked for 25 years in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. She started as Human Resources Director in 1985, then she acted as Operations Manager and Sales Manager, finally spending another 7 years as Human Resources Director before joining the Buccaneers. Today, Kristin shared excellent insights on how candidates should prepare for an internship interview. She explained how they almost immediately can tell the difference between someone ready for an interview and someone just logging in on Zoom to join a meeting on their calendar. We also talked about approaching interviews from a different perspective, understanding the person interviewing us is trying to solve a problem and is hoping WE are the person they're looking for.
