CS Ep #14 : Why You Should Always Be Interviewing (Even If You Love Your Job)
Most people only interview when they NEED a job — and that's exactly the problem.
In this video, I break down why interviewing regularly (even when you're not looking) is one of the most powerful career moves you can make.
Here's what we cover:
✅ Why interviewing is a skill that gets rusty fast
✅ How to figure out your real market value
✅ Why staying "interview-ready" protects your career
✅ How to build connections before you need them
✅ Using interviews as a personal growth check-in
Whether you're a student, a seasoned professional, or somewhere in between — this one habit can completely change how you approach your career.
