Answer (1 of 204): I was interviewing for a job as an applications engineering manager in a two-year-old Silicon Valley company of about 300 employees in the 1980s. My last stop was an interview with the CEO, an impressive ex-military Israeli entrepreneur. We were in a makeshift lab/office, sitti…
Some fantastic stories in here!
When people are looking for work, especially if they are between jobs, it’s not uncommon to have a crisis of confidence in interviews. As an interviewer, it’s pretty easy to spot someone who is
This is a good, straightforward post - some interesting comments as well
Good article by Lou Adler (who is worth following BTW) on some of the ways you can clarify strong candidates. I use them, as do other recruiters I know.
If you’re a candidate, maybe you should reflect on this with regards what is prioritised on your CV?
Good luck!
Following on from my other posts this week, another thing Sherlock teaches us is to absorb and learn information that is of use, and avoid remembering stuff that isn’t
Our brain’s capacity for information is not limitless, therefore we should in theory only store information that will be useful. This is what Sherlock does. Of course everyone’s views on what is and isn’t useful will be different, but perhaps it’s worth thinking about the stuff that goes in and asking yourself how useful this will be in the future.
There are plenty of articles and books out there on ways to develop your memory and focus on remembering only what is important, (I’m not going to go into it here as I’m still learning myself!).
I guess the brain is a part of the body like any other - we train our muscles for a marathon so perhaps we should train our brains to be more efficient.
Anyway, at some point in the future I’ll probably post some suggestions on improving memory - definitely relevant for career situations - I’ve had a number of interviews where I’ve forgotten things that were really important only to remember them in the car afterwards!
Good luck if you decide to try this for yourself - let me know how it goes
Some pretty good ones here, though I’m sure there are funnier stories out there
Over 20 years in recruitment, and now I'm finally ready to spill the beans, maybe you'll find some useful information here, although it won't always be that obvious!
I should point out that nothing I post in this blog has any official endorsement by any company I have ever worked for either as an employee or self - employed recruitment consultant. All views are my own etc...anyway, that's them covered if I write anything too controversial.
Oh, by the way, if you follow me I will follow back - unless you don't want me to of course.
