Career Coach Office Hours: October 24, 2023
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
Join me at noon Eastern on Tuesdays. I’ll answer your questions about #jobsearch. You can also message me on Linkedin before the show and I will answer it, too. On this show, I answered these questions:
00:00 Intro
03:34 If an interviewer says they really like you, are they referring to more of your personality or skill sets?
05:07 Aside from job boards, networking, resumes, and job interviews, what are the other ways to get a job?
09:54 Do potential employers call references?
13:01 If a recruiter asks, “Have you interviewed/applied anywhere recently?”, what should I say?
17:40 Is it horrible to quit a new job after 2 days without notice?
20:19 My job interviewer asked me to name 3 positive and 3 negative qualities of another applicant for the same role, who is my classmate at university. How should I respond?
22:48 Is it acceptable to say “personal reasons” as a reason for quitting a job? I do not wish to explain in detail to my employer my reasons for leaving the job.
25:13 I had a recent job offer. I got the letter and did a background check. The results are back but have not heard from the recruiter or manager. The first day is in 5 days. Do I email them or wait?
28:47 Outro
I’m Not Getting Past the Recruiter
