Career Coach Office Hours: January 14 2025
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
I answered questions about #jobsearch.
00:00 Intro, the job market, and free offer
06:38 Is it too late to reply to a recruiter who messaged me one month ago on LinkedIn?
08:03 What is the worst mistake you can make in salary negotiations?
09:33 After an initial 30-minute HR interview, I have a 30-minute interview with the manager. That feels like a favor or formality than a real interview. How do I manage my own expectations?
13:17 Why do agency recruiters reach out to candidates who are unqualified for the position they are promoting?
16:12 Free Insider offer at JobSearch.Community
17:30 What does it mean if you tell the recruiter you have no interest working for that hiring manager and he calls you five times? Why does he even care at this point?
19:16 How do you respond to a failed salary negotiation? 21:44 I just submitted a job application. How long should I expect to wait for a response?
24:59 I’ve applied and interviewed for jobs for about 8 months now. I’ve made it to the last round for a couple of these positions and for whatever reason I don’t get selected. Hours upon hours preparing and even creating presentation material to just be sent a rejection email. I feel like my confidence has been completely destroyed and I’m finding it really hard to not just cry every day. Comparison really is the thief of joy but it’s exhausting to see others around who have the same qualifications but got luckier in their search. I guess I’d just like to know I’m not alone in this job market.
28:41 Outro
Why Doesn’t LinkedIn Rank Recruiters?
