Episode notes
Companies Will Compete For The Right Candidate
- Companies will compete aggressively for candidates they strongly want, even bending budgets and timelines.
- That means influencing demand for you is as valuable as perfect credentials.
Match Your Stories To The Job With A T-Chart
- Before interviews, map the job description to your past with a T-chart and only highlight matching experiences.
- Avoid volunteering unrelated achievements unless asked to keep focus on what the company values.
Show Relevance Over Bragging On Resumes
- Prioritize relevance, not your proudest accomplishments, when choosing what to put on your resume.
- Remove distracting but impressive items that don't demonstrate fit for the target role.
