Career Coach Office Hours: October 31 2023
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
I answered questions about #jobsearch. You can also message me on Linkedin before the show and I will answer them during the show, too.
00:00 Intro
05:08 What’s an appropriate way of asking if a place is hiring?
08:32 I had a job interview and the hiring manager had me waiting for 1 hour without acknowledging me. I went to the receptionist and declined the job. The boss called me and was angry for leaving. I told him that my time is just as valuable. Was I wrong?
12:01 I’ve been in touch with a recruiter for a month in a half about a future role, and she said in a week the job will post. I’ve done a phone interview with her already, so she is pleased with my background. Do my chances look good at getting the job?
14:08 A hiring manager wants to chat a week after final interviews are done, what does this mean? Could it be an offer or rejection?
16:14 What is the easiest way to promote yourself in an interview? I was asked in an interview, why they should pick me. I’ve never been the type to ‘toot’ my own horn, per se. How do you answer this question?
22:32 What is a good response to “I have heard a lot about you”?
23.40 If I don’t hear back from my job interview after a week, should I assume I did not get the job?
26:26 What is a slap-in-the-face job offer?
27:37 Outro
I’m Not Getting Past the Recruiter
