Early life and education[edit]
Papalia was born in Portland, Maine on July 28, 1978. Papalia's father immigrated to America from San Remo, Italy. Her extended family all still resides there. Papalia's mother is from Maine. They divorced when Papalia was 5, and her mother re-married a man in the military. Papalia moved around frequently, attending 5 elementary schools. Her mother and stepfather went on to have 3 children, and she has described her childhood as being made to feel as though she didn't belong and was emotionally and physically abused by her stepfather. She moved out at 15 and never went back. She attended South Portland High School while working full-time to support herself.[11][12]
She was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) in her admissions interview. At UPenn, she studied psychology. While in college, Papalia supported herself by waiting tables for the now famous restaurateur Stephen Starr.[12]
Career[edit]
Corporate & consulting career Papalia started her HR career as an HR Generalist and was quickly promoted to corporate recruiter. She then worked for a contingency recruiting firm servicing the hiring needs of Fortune 100 companies. In her last corporate position, Papalia was the Director of Talent Acquisition for Conner Strong & Buckelew, owned by George Norcross, responsible for hiring all levels of talent for the insurance brokerage.[12]
She left her corporate position in April 2011 to start an HR consulting firm to teach job seekers and hiring managers how to interview better.[13]
For 11 years from 2011 to 2022, Papalia taught at Temple University's Fox School of Business, where she collected data and research and discovered Interview Styles. In her book, Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing, published by HarperCollins,[14] she outlines the interview process, the different types of interviewees, and how to perform well in interviews, among other topics.[15]
Determined to make the process better, more inclusive, and less obscure, Anna spent years researching how people interview and uncovered a new science to interviewing, rooted in the finding that there are four main styles people exhibit in an interview: you are either a Charmer, a Challenger, an Examiner, or a Harmonizer.[16] Your style influences how you view and approach interviews, and ultimately how you perform in them.[17]
Anna Papalia is a thought leader on all things job interview. She wrote the book 'Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing, published by HarperCollins in 2024.[18]
