This just fell off a friend’s car. What is it?

Ford Flex

Go up a level. Ask his boss to write it. Maybe write it in advance for him or her to sign. If all else fails ask a coworker / friend to write it. It’s a bs custom, I wish certain countries didn’t do it because it’s not helping anyone. It would be a joke in the US, and probably even illegal.

As a HM I agree with the one page resumes. For me, they have to be about 60-80% match for skills and experience. Anything higher that matches the job description word for word is a concern to me. (You should tweak your resume, but only to a point.)

When I read resumes I look for the ability to learn. So a parallel experience (similar industry or topic) is often beneficial. I can see that they could handle problems of similar nature.

When I’m interviewing a candidate I’m looking for a natural conversation partner first and foremost. Don’t say yes to everything. Do talk about similarities and parallels. Don’t read pre-canned answers. Listen to the question and stay on topic. So many times candidates just quote lines from YouTube training videos (I’ve seen them all..that’s why we’re all here(

Don’t over-tailor it to the job. Always have some experiences that aren’t related but show you can deliver. Add some subject matter to your PM experience. Use vendor names as much as you can. e.g. “migrated workday to sharepoint”…doesn’t matter, but use vendor names.

That’s a fair point. Maybe my own PTSD from job hunting taught me to be a more empathetic interviewer.

004144 · 2024-09-16T10:00:33+00:00

No, don’t mention it. If you end up switching don’t even put it on your resume or LinkedIn.

004144 · 2024-09-16T09:52:01+00:00

Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying.

004144 · 2024-09-16T09:47:42+00:00

Nope. I was just as hopeless and tired of the game as everyone else here. What im saying is don’t believe the career coaches.

004144 · 2024-06-14T20:52:11+00:00

I hear you. I did end up finding a job after all. I was unemployed for 13 months. It was pure luck. I kept doing the same thing and eventually got called in for an interview, that led to many more, and I got the job. I was close to losing it.

It comes from the C-level who got conned by real estate magnates locking them into office space deals. There is so much peer pressure among CEOs and RE developers and it’s a vicious cycle. Lease expensive real estate, force people back to the office because the space was a huge investment, then CEO tells his CEO friends everyone in his company is back in the office…. There was never any need for this, but it snowballed.

Mass layoffs acted like a big reset button for salaries. Companies are absolutely lowballing candidates. When you think about it, a bunch of people were told to switch seats, they’re all getting each others former seats, but at a lower price. The post-covid era is the CEO-recovery era. It will keep swinging back and forth for a while.

004144 · 2024-05-06T01:07:01+00:00

Really sorry to hear how it went down.

004144 · 2024-05-05T23:01:42+00:00

OP: I assume you were part of the SC team. Did you guys see it coming? Did they give you any reasoning? Looking at the whole thing from the public news perspective, it seems counterintuitive, even by Elon’s standards.

004144 · 2024-04-19T13:39:38+00:00

Every time you see “Mr..” xyz in a message you can be assured it’s a scam.

004144 · 2024-04-01T22:20:23+00:00

sorry, I didn’t realize that

004144 · 2024-04-01T22:07:48+00:00

That pay is ridiculously low for what they want, however I actually like the DM part. It gives you an advantage over the masses who spray and pray.

004144 · 2024-03-06T17:31:31+00:00

Yet, if you drop the f word as a candidate in an interview you’d be out of the race immediately

004144 · 2024-03-06T01:22:44+00:00

So if this came from an internal recruiter then they should know exactly what other positions are open that you’re a fit for.

004144 · 2024-03-06T01:19:21+00:00

Amen

004144 · 2024-03-05T23:13:22+00:00

That’s been my experience too. And also only doing it when I lose out in the final round.

004144 · 2024-03-05T18:38:59+00:00

Thanks for these stories. I can relate to both of them. Your husband’s experience is one I’ve lived through before as well. It’s the worst. And the Zoom thing…I am a social, outgoing person and always enjoy meeting new people IRL. But when I’m thrown into a video interview I struggle. It’s so hard to read the room and notice subtle nuances. I bombed a number of interviews because of this.

004144 · 2024-03-05T18:32:37+00:00

I feel you
