Oh MG😂 I was making a lots of mistakes for networking before this video 😅
Wowwww I learned a lot😊
Thanks 😊
maybe learn to write
This is simply hyperbole. I had reached out via LinkedIn to atleast 50 people in 3 months, each time with a customized message. Guess how many even accepted my invite?. Zero. If it costs a ton of money to recruit through online when all you need a candidate to do "one specific thing", you might as well make the entire hiring process all about that "one specific thing". The truth is the job search process is fuked up. It's entirely skewed against an honest candidate who has skills and the hunger to achieve something.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Hey James, great content. I have a question for you, how can I leverage LinkedIn for my personal brand? More as a startup founder than as an executive. Are there any differences?
Unfortunately the best version of yourself may not be what recruiters are looking for due to AI. AI removes alot more about the person than their experiences and qualifications. It's looking like it's a turn for the worst.
Deloitte must be a great place to work, if young pricks like this can be a director there lol

Happy to see you again. I actually read your book "the reverse job search method "
How can I get an internship opportunity in one of these firms?
All video long I was thinking “this guy is so full of himself I would never hire him”
Do you have any good Book recommendations
I'm a creative looking for a day job/bridge job and I've really enjoyed your book and content. It is super helpful to have a peek behind the hiring curtain. Thanks for the encouraging tone and step by step process for job search success.
Hey, im 24, im just watching your videos now. Keep doing what you do I've never received so much value from any other creator in the career development niche.
your haircut is worth a billion
Hi James, I am done with the first technical interview at Deloitte. This senior analyst role only has 2 of interview, and the next one is a Behavioral Interview. If I cleared the first round, does that mean I am almost hired since I cleared the technical round with the project manager? Please let me know. TIA
Hey James - CourseCareers sent you an email about a paid partnership. Let me know what you think!
.
Good advice but how am I suppose to know a hiring manager of a company
By your 1st statement I assume company is not going to hire you for a responsible role with penny salary.
gold
Should I ask the interviewer about themselves to learn who I am speaking to?
great insights james

It's been too long :)
I agree with you on that jobs get promoted and those promoted jobs will get a lot of eyeballs, but not all jobs are promoted. Most companies will buy job slots (i.e. Linkedin, Monster, Dice, CareerBuilder) and they can post jobs on those slots without promoting them. Regarding Indeed and Google Jobs, those are aggregators so they scrape company careers sites/ATS systems to pull jobs onto Indeed. Yes, you can buy promoted slots but they do pull jobs in from companies career pages. I say this because there are still good opportunities out there on Job Boards that are not promoted jobs.

Thank you James ❤I think this is my second time watching this 😅
Absolutely disagree with I need to impress the employer comment ....
Hello James. It is a great contest. My question is I am senior accountant with 10 years experience and 2 masters and 9 acca qualification exams done. I do speak 4 languages in fluent and learning 5 one. I am working in Luxemburg and i have applied one company to work as an senior accountant. My question is can I be a for the company where i am going to apply ? Whats is my changes i need to do in the future? Kind regards,
This is God tier information
Is the scale applicable worldwide considering conversion of currency or is it based on life expenses and avg market pay ?
My Ex works for Deloitte long hours never home after 7yrs she decides to break up with me with my father past aways
It is great to be born into a well connected family where you inherit all ghe connections you need in life. But this means coaches are useless!
If something sounds too good and appears like a magic spell spell tailored to work for oneself.......it smells like a sales pitch narrative which translates into GUWNO. Or Bull.
Any attempt to try to get on with the interviewer(s) gets shut down rapidly in my opinion. “Too familiar, unprofessional” in the feedback, or, “yes, well, let’s get back on topic please” shuts it down quickly.
I appreciate your insights but I don’t think it applies to all industries. If you’re looking for a position in tech, you need knowledge and experience rather than a great relationship with a recruiter/hiring person.
