Job hunting: We all know the struggle. Maybe you’ve spent hours perfecting your resume and LinkedIn profile only to get rejected after an interview, or maybe you’re not sure how to even get your foot in the door. If you’ve been trying to get hired as entry or junior-level talent and are looking for a few pointers, then this is the episode for you!
In today’s episode, Recruitment Director at Fast Flow Motion Sam Donaghey joins us to unpack what happens on the employer’s side of the hiring process, and what companies look for when hiring candidates. (Spoiler alert: It’s less about technical skills than you’d think!)
