Today we have a fun featured interview with my new friend Stu Musil of Ambient Consulting I had a great time talking with Stu about bashing come common misconceptions people have about working with recruiters, plus tackling some frequently asked questions:
- How do you properly vet a recruiter you don't know, but who offers a job opportunity you're interested in?
- What questions should you ask a potential recruiter to get a feel for their level of experience in the industry (hint, if a recruiter doesn't even have a LinkedIn page, that's probably a red flag)
- Resume tips:
-
- Finding the right length and tone
- Tailoring your resume for each individual job
- Highlighting your strengths
- Do people still use cover letters when applying to a gig?
- Is a "hobbies and interests" section still a good idea on a resume (to show them you're not a robot who works 24/7)?
- Lets talk about some horror and/or success stories from the world of recruiting!
