How do you prep for interviews ?
How do I get past the AI companies are using to get a new job in a new field? I lost my career as a truck driver due to health reasons. twenty years down the drain. i was out of work for 3.5 months before taking a job from a temp agency. that pays just over minimum wage. I have worked in other industries prior to driving including owning a small business with 15 employees. I get refusals quickly almost every time I to a job I'm interested in. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Curious. How would someone pivot back into doing receptionist work after more than 5 years spent in a higher position? It seems that interviewers can't get past what the last job was, even though it is no longer relevant to the job seeker, and that person is experienced in front reception work, and the sedentary role would be perfect for that applying person.
Hello, I know the field is heavily saturated right now but I would like to get into Instructional design. I have 10 years of teaching exp where I developed my own curriculum and taught both adults and children but vast majority of my experience is with children. I am also doing a postgraduate course in Instructional design and working on my portfolio. I guess I am just looking for success stories from people who intentionally pivoted into ID. Everybody I ask said they got into it by accident.
So I just got a job offer in a field I previously worked and despite having every single listed qualification, skill, and all the preferred experience, my compensation offer is at the very bottom of the advertised range. I was hoping to at least land somewhere in the middle but should I just be happy with what I got and/or bring it up several months into the job or should I say something now? Definitely am not trying to lose the job before I even start...
I'm beginning to think that I made a wrong decision to choose nursing..payment is too little and yet it's a struggle to get employed
I go over the job description. Prepare my answers to at least answer two main questions using the STAR method. If you interview enough you just reuse & apply it to that specific role.
I recommend listening to Emma Grede’s Podcast. Her episode on How to Nail Your Next Interview was quite fantastic and valuable. Good luck!
Getting a career coach for a few sessions can really boost your confidence for interviews. They'll help you figure out what questions might come up and how to give genuine answers that make you shine without overdoing it.
use Ai to help you structure your answers paste the job description in a strong AI tool and prompt it to come up with a list of possible questions, then prepare the answers to those. a lot of recruitment teams get questions to interview candidates using AI, so just do the same thing as a candidate
I would look up the person(s) who will be interviewing me on LinkedIn (their role, what they post about related to their role/company, past work) and write 2-3 very specific, tailored questions for them for the end of the interview. Also, seconding prepping to answer questions in the STAR format.
