[00:00] Intro and Coffee Toast
[03:25] Why is it so difficult to break into a role when you are clearly qualified?
[06:00] People who got decent jobs without a real formal interview, how’d it happen?
[07:47] I am looking to change careers from teaching in a public high school into a corporate position, possibly as an analyst, writer, or corporate trainer. I find suitable positions and get my foot in the door? What might be other possible positions for my skill sets? [12:58] If you get the job offer from a recruiter, how do you navigate the negotiation process?
[16:35] Can a supervisor dismiss an employee when they see their profile on LinkedIn?
[17:38] Employers – When finishing up an interview, why do you escort some of us out for?
[18:49] Do you think it’s a good idea to message the hiring manager after the interview on the company messaging portal when applying for an internal position or is it creepy?
[20:45] Why do you have to meet in person on a job interview? Why can’t you just tell your qualifications over the phone?
[22:33] if I was offered three possible positions but have not heard anything, what should be my next move?
[25:12] When applying for a job, is it better to write up a resume based on an available template or create your own one?
[26:05] Are most messages from recruiters on LinkedIn just a scam?
[26:18] How should a young leader lead a team of mostly senior members/those who are above par in knowledge by comparison?
[31:49] Do all company recruiters have a special source of information on a candidate’s background that candidates don’t know about?
[32:53] Why does HR auto decline job applications, even though the applicant is well overqualified? Are they just looking for some keywords?
[35:01] Outro and how to reach me for more
