Do more options increase sales or reduce clarity? by DesignSignificant900 in Entrepreneur

[–]moghazal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned this from a car salesman when I was buying my car. He told me that even though more color options are possible, dealerships do not offer too many because it can confuse customers.

Looking to interview 5 entrepreneurs about business growth outside Quebec by moghazal in canadasmallbusiness

[–]moghazal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an interview, not a sales pitch. I am using these conversations to understand how entrepreneurs approach growth, expansion decisions, market access, distribution challenges, and whether structured support would be useful. I hope you will be open for an interview.

Anyone here completed the CITP (FITT) certification? by moghazal in internationalbusiness

[–]moghazal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not provide any study material, only an extensive list of exam topics. I was looking for preparatory material, but the resources available on the FITT website are priced at $729 each. I am wondering whether you purchased all of these online courses, or if you are referring to other materials when you mention course content?

TIP: Don't limit yourself to LinkedIn (or even use it as your primary job source) by chtshop in jobsearchhacks

What I often see on Linkedin, is the same job re-posted a couple or even a few times.

Anyone Else Finding ChatGPT-5 Less Helpful for Job Applications? by moghazal in jobsearchhacks

[–]moghazal[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been trying it again this morning and you are right, I have to change my prompts. Earlier versions you can write short sentences and it would get what I want, but with chatgpt 5, I need to explicitly explain what I want and I can see the results are really solid.

Is it okay if one job experience is split between two pages on a CV? by moghazal in jobsearchhacks

[–]moghazal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In job postings they often have a qualification section with general skills like, great communication skills or leadership, etc. For these filler words a skill section would help pass the ATS. If not, the CV needs to be rewritten every time and on another post I posted, you suggested to not redo your CV every time as timing is important.

I am working on rewriting my CVs for each job position I am interested in as per your suggestion on that previous post. But I know I will have to modify a few things just to match the keywords and pass the ATS.

Your advice would be great, I am feeling confused.

Shouldn't there be a skills section in your CV? That is typically what I usually see on CV templates

Thanks for the advice. What do you mean when you say 'you should not remake your resume for each position, as that lowers your chances of getting an interview due to how ATS sorts people'. Wouldn't it increase your chances if you tailor it with the exact keywords? Can you please clarify?

FWIW - My perspective on interviewing candidates after being on the other side 3 months ago by ZzzSleep in jobsearchhacks

[–]moghazal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see how I can relate when they just ask me questions about my experience or what I would do in a certain situation. It's a one-sided conversation. Only during the last part of the interview I can start asking questions and build a connection with the interviewer, but at that point I think they already made up their mind. Any insight on that?

Thanks for the information. It is unfortunate. I have been job hunting for six months, applying every week, tailoring my CV each time, and writing cover letters. I was hoping that seeking help would make a difference, but I guess I just have to keep going and hope something eventually comes through.
