Couldn't disagree more with posting on social media as a challenge to yourself, for the sake of it. Life is too short. I work hard in the office, post when it's relevant or important, and try to enjoy my life as privately as possible.
I respect that. I try to post on social media ( mostly LinkedIn ) about concepts from relevant subjects, recent developments in the industry, my experience in a project, challenges I faced and how I overcame them. I agree with the gentlemen, that activities pages serve as a cover letter. Hiring managers can get a glimpse of my personality through the activities page. I also like to comment on posts from my connections. For example, I am contributimg to the conversation by stating my opinions.
Great talk! I remember hearing that interviewee question "is there anything about what I've shared, anything about my background, that would give you pause?" type of question in a Cal Berkeley interview talk years ago. I've used it many times! I have never received a direct answer. They say "no!" - and then I don't get the offer/next round. I think people are very hesitant to give an honest answer. And I'm in New York! Anyway, I wonder if anyone has received responses to this question. I still love this question! I'm not sure I will keep asking it.
I had an interviewer say "if I have any other questions, I will reach out to you." I was pretty certain at that point, I didn't hit all of the screening criteria for a DOD contractor role. 😂
My takeaway: - Try to highlight knowledge/skills/ experience that are potentially transferrable to ur new job. As interviewer, we should give interview the chance to demonstrate this. - ADD structure: Answer the question. Detailed Example, Describe the relevance. (connect the dots).

The ADD structure was terrific. Thank you

Haven't had good experiences using it either! I think it's better to ask other things like how you can best help the team if you're hired among others
I love the think fast video sessions, thank GSB and Matt!
Very insightful and valuable sharing
Matt, thank you for sharing your learnings
This is so valuable
My takeaway:
- Try to highlight knowledge/skills/ experience that are potentially transferrable to ur new job. As interviewer, we should give interview the chance to demonstrate this.
- ADD structure: Answer the question. Detailed Example, Describe the relevance. (connect the dots).
This is great. Thank you for the dialogue.
Top-notch class. Thank you for sharing.
This is a master piece i am first time on this channel
Good learning .
The LinkedIn plug at the start was quite silly, however the rest of it is a pretty robust guide.
Finally they got a camera 😅
1:32 Online presence is like the "first interview," 1:47 add to conversations your passionate about, 4:28 add values to conversations, 4:54 "are you listening or are you waiting to talk?", 5:45 move conversations forward
5:55 interview presence: 6:19 people form opinions of you before you even walk in the room (6:37 detail-oriented example) (7:00 rude person example), 8:00 ways to fix yourself from a bad presence, 8:30 many are glad the interview is over, but don't consider what they have learned/how they can change moving forward
13:04 process for an interviewee: 13:32 know the role and what the company needs from you, 13:38 do research/understand themes (13:56 examples), 14:28 leverage evident things you have done from themes (14:09 examples), 15:08 ADD (15:29 podcast interview roleplay example demonstration)
16:54 Connect the dots: you need to explain the "common sense" you are trying to say
19:04 Following-up: 19:51 it starts in the interview not afterwards, 20:01 connect/create freeform conversation with the interview as a person (20:23 Philly example), 20:23 reminds interviewer who you are/makes you memorable
21:55 Career growth tools/networking: have connections with 22:11immediate group/coworkers(22:28 helps you with your surroundings, larger workforce(22:31 helps with understanding the company you work for), and then profession(22:36 helps with understanding industry), 23:57 you want this wide range to support you if something falls off (like layoffs)
25:36 Interview question to ask: "if you were in my position, what is the one thing you would have asked?"
I love ADD
Why are they speaking so fast, I had to watch this video at 0.75x speed
too many ‘you know’
