Career Coach Office Hours: September 10, 2024
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
I answered questions about #jobsearch. 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
02:03 The job market
05:20 Does HR look at the same application you sent in to get the job?
06:53 Do you think it’s important for job seekers to tailor their cover letters, resumes, and interviews to fit specific jobs?
09:21 Is it too late to reply to a recruiter who messaged me one month ago on LinkedIn?
10:35 What is the worst mistake you can make in salary negotiations?
13:52 JobSearch.Community
14:52 Why do employment recruiters reach out to candidates who are unqualified for the position they are promoting?
16:51 What does it mean if you tell the recruiter you have no interest working for that hiring manager and he calls you five times? Why does he even care at this point?
18:05 How do you respond to a failed salary negotiation?
20:04 I just submitted a job application. How long should I expect to wait for a response?
21:50 I’ve applied and interviewed for jobs for about 8 months now. I’ve made it to the last round for a couple of these positions and for whatever reason I don’t get selected. Hours upon hours preparing and even creating presentation material to just be sent a rejection email. I feel like my confidence has been completely destroyed and I’m finding it really hard to not just cry every day. Comparison really is the thief of joy but it’s exhausting to see others around who have the same qualifications but got luckier in their search. I guess I’d just like to know I’m not alone in this job market.
