EP 2146 Friday mornings, I respond to questions I received during the week that I did not have a chance to reply to. This week's questions are:   How does a hiring manager pick between two equivalent candidates?   Is telling an interviewer that you have other interviews lined up as well a good or bad thing?   Why are some jobs only open to internal applicants?   At a place of employment where they are constantly having people quit, is the issue the people that they keep hiring or the business itself?   How do I ask a professor to help with my job search?   Why is a recruiter contacting me a month later for the same job position that I was rejected for?   Why are most recruiters unhelpful and tend to constantly ignore emails from applicants in the interview process?

EP 2140 Office hours are open! Today's questions that I did not get to during the week are:    How do I negotiate higher pay at an initial interview?   Is there any reason why I shouldn't apply to all the jobs I am interested in now as soon as possible so that I know the response either way?   How long should one search for an "ideal job" until it’s time to pick one and move on?   I'm applying for multiple jobs. If I get an offer, how do I tell the employer that I want to wait and see the results for my other applications?   Why are job interviews so difficult for me? and How can I improve my interview skills?   Why do companies like to use incompetent interviewers when interviewing a candidate?
