00:00 Intro
02:19 I have been looking for a job for a very long time. I have called, emailed, visited potential employers and even asked around but to no avail. What more can I do to get hired?
06:14 Why do candidates still chase recruiters after a face-to-face interview knowing fully well that if they (the recruiter or hiring manager) want to hire a particular candidate they will reach out to him or her?
08:06 Why do many employers prefer networking over interviewing?
10:36 Are there experts who specialize in optimizing LinkedIn profiles for the maximum impact?
12:27 Does it look bad if I don’t have a LinkedIn account?
14:32 I’m rarely getting past the screener. What am I doing wrong?
22:30 What should I do if the interviewer doesn’t respond to my messages? He/she asked me to meet them but I didn’t receive the details for the interview session until the day I supposed to attend the interview.
27:24 I have 2 offers. How do I turn down a job offer?
30:29 I’ve had a couple of recruiters reach out to me and then nothing. Should I give them a nudge?
32:21 Outro
