As I stared at my winter quarter schedule with wide eyes and a racing heart, I simply could not fathom how I would handle multiple interviews per week all the way through week 6. Summer programs, internships, clubs, you name it. The pressure was on.
It will be a great learning experience.
You have nothing to lose.
It's just a numbers game.
You got this.
I tried giving myself pep talks, taking deep breaths, over-preparing for interviews… but nothing seemed to be effective. I knew I had to find an external solution to my internal crisis.
And that's when the "Girl Boss" playlist was born.
Now, I listen to the entire playlist before every interview. Fast, easy, effective. What more could you ask for?
HUSTLER BY ZAYDE WOLF
A strong beat, powerful lyrics. And, the claps make you feel like the crowd is cheering for you. Merit and persistence are common themes throughout the song -- reminding you that you belong in that interview.
Memorable lines:
"I ain't afraid of the pressure when it comes on stronger
Cause I'm always pushing through
I'm always going harder
When everyone is through
I'll be here longer"
FINISH LINE BY JULES LARSON
Although this song is more repetitive than the first, it tackles a crucial characteristic of a successful interviewee: self-worth. Finish Line pushes you to acknowledge that you're worth betting on!
Memorable lines:
"In my blood I'm a warrior, the crown's growing on me
See me comin' 'round the corner, it's my name you'll remember"
"Put your money on it, put it all on me"
CAN’T STOP ME NOW BY OH THE LARCENY
This song reminds you that you're killing it. The line "ain't afraid to walk on coals" reminds you to not shy away in the face of a challenge!
Memorable lines:
"Ain't afraid to bare my soul
Ain't afraid to walk on coals
Hear the thunder when I step
You know where to place your bet"
"Can't stop me now
I'm just doin' what I do
Won't stop doin' what I do…"
MADE FOR THIS BY THE PHANTOMS
The ultimate pump-up song. This song reminds you that each moment was "made for" preparing you for the next. All of your experiences have shaped you into the person you are today. Not only that, but your actions have the power to inspire others -- even more motivation to keep going.
Memorable lines:
"Gonna push it harder
Gonna climb up higher
It's like I just can't miss
I was made for this
Show the world I'm stronger
Prove it to em' I'm a fighter”
