Unlock the secrets to mastering job interviews as an autistic individual with insights that could change your career trajectory. Join me, Stephen McHugh, on the latest episode of Stephen's Evolution, where I aim to equip you with practical strategies to navigate the unique challenges that autistic individuals can face during interviews. From tackling the intricacies of eye contact and body language to interpreting commonly used questions like, "Tell me about yourself," my objective here is to try and empower you with the skills to present your best self, and significantly boost your chances of landing your dream job.

I'll dive into tailored preparation strategies for various roles, emphasising the importance of detailed, structured responses using the STAR method. I'll share personal stories and insights, highlighting how to draw from both professional and personal experiences to answer challenging behavioural questions more confidently. Beyond interview tactics, I highlight the importance of researching potential employers to align your values with theirs, and express genuine interest more effectively.
