I answered questions about #jobsearch. In the future, if you can’t attend live, mark that you’ll attend on LinkedIn, message your question to me there, and watch the replay
00:00 Intro including many Black Friday sale
04:29 Why do I see fewer LinkedIn job options than my friends, even with the same search criteria?
08:12 After the interview, the recruiter told me, “e-mail me if you have any questions. We still need to interview 2 more candidates. We’ll make a decision by next Friday.” will I get an offer or it is just a standard end of interview?
09:51 Commercial including my Black Friday offer
11:35 Do employers view all job interviews as equally important? Do they assign different levels of importance to different interviews?
12:54 Is it possible to see who has viewed your LinkedIn profile and when they viewed it? If yes, how can this be done?
14:12 Are job interviews really hard?
15:51 Is it right to apply for a job that one isn’t fully qualified?
17:01 Do some employers post ‘ghost jobs’ simply as a way to extract free consulting/advise from unsuspecting job candidates and/or as a way to provide their own staff with free training in the hiring process? If so, which employers are known to do this?
19:19 How should a decrease in salary be addressed during a job interview? Is this information important to recruiters or do they primarily care about your current employment status?
21:05 I wrote a follow-up email after 2 weeks of the job interview and the response was “I would be informed when the process is completed”. What should I do?
22:04 Outro
