Interview Advice for Culture Roles (*when you have no previous experience)

Are you interviewing for a learning or company culture role but don’t have a formal background in HR or culture? You’re not alone — and the good news is, you don’t need to be an HR expert to land the job.

In this video, I share practical advice for anyone transitioning into a culture role, based on my 7+ years of experience as a company culture coach. Whether you come from operations, marketing, L&D, or something entirely different, this video will give some ideas on how get yourself culture-ready in your interview.

✨ Here's what I cover:

How to highlight relevant experience that aligns with a culture role

Why your passion for workplace culture matters more than qualifications

The importance of showing your learning mindset and growth plans

How to plug into communities and show commitment to the space

What questions to ask in interviews to stand out as thoughtful and strategic

🔔 Remember: Culture doesn’t belong solely to HR. It’s a shared responsibility — and the more diverse voices we have shaping it, the better our workplaces will become.
