00:00 Intro
05:44 I’m currently in week four of the interview process of a job that I really want. I’ve had the following; 1 phone interview and 1 in-person interview with the president, a “design challenge”, and 2 additional in-person interviews with department heads. Everything has gone really well and even received great responses on my follow up thank you emails. I sent a follow-up email to the president the Friday after my Wednesday interviews and have not heard back. Should I follow up again today? 07:53 What do employers look for in a resume in 2025?
09:23 Should I bring my resume to job interviews?
11:02 Is it appropriate to follow up on a job application via email if the employer specifically requested no phone calls or emails regarding status updates?

14:30 I have 8 rounds of interviews and took 8 weeks so far. When do you say enough is enough?
16:35 Is it necessary to provide a CV when applying or interviewing for a job at a specific company? Are there any consequences for not providing one, or is it simply considered bad business etiquette?
18:42 What does it mean if an employer does not respond to your job application after saying they will be in touch about the shortlist?
20:07 Is it necessary to have both a CV and a LinkedIn profile?
21:45 What are some reasons why people may lie about their experience level and skills on their resumes and LinkedIn profiles?
