When it comes to career or job search advice - I’m not selling a damn thing, which means I can afford to tell the truth.
I do sell recruiting swag though 😂❤️

I am extending 3 offers today and over on Facebook in a recruiter group ppl are talking about "don't make offers on a Friday you're giving candidates too much time to think about it" and I swear to God I fucking hate my industry sometimes. 1/3

I broke down in tears today because I was FINALLY able to extend TWO offers to amazing engineers who had interviewed months back but weren't right for original roles. We stayed in touch, new positions opened up, and boom - offers out. It's a damn Christmas miracle 1/2

I'm technically off today for my kid's birthday but the offers are APPROVED and I'm not going to let my candidates sweat it over the weekend. Of course they have an idea what's coming (yes I pre-closed FFS) but I am NOT going to keep them waiting and they get a week to think! 2/3

Expecting a candidate (including direct applicants) to answer “what do you know about our company” is some weird recruiter gatekeeping nonsense and I don’t like it. How about “what can I tell you about our company?”

My favorite interview question is "what do you need to learn about (role/team/company) to know if this opportunity is worth exploring/accepting?"
People care about different things - honor that and give them space to discuss it.

Friendly reminder to all job seekers - there are over 200 ATSs on the market. Each of those systems can be configured differently based on company need, spend, and requirements. Do NOT waste your hard earned money on something like this. 😳😳😳

So when recruiters say "let's keep touch for future roles!" we really do mean it AND it turns into a great opportunity down the road. I am so relieved I legit cried happy tears to FINALLY be able to put the decision in their hands. Of course they better accept 🤣2/2

Imagine a world where “open to work” means “I am someone who would consider employment offers” and “hiring” means “I would like to give folks offers of employment” 🙄
I really hate the “open to work” and “hiring” badge on LinkedIn.
They seem so….desperate for all the wrong reasons.

The most important advice I have for ANYONE following "thought leaders" or influencers or whatever the hell (esp. related to your job search) - does this person want your ATTENTION or your SUCCESS?
There IS a difference. Learn to recognize it and you'll filter 90% of the BS.

When I polled LinkedIn about offer deadlines 76% of folks chose either 2 or 5 days - only 18% said 24 hours and I'll bet every last one was a recruiter 🤣

if you understood how resumes are read, you would understand why recruiters break out in hives when we see these 😭
Stop using Canva for resumes.
These resumes do not get read correctly by Applicant Tracking Systems or Job Boards.
If the system can't read your resume, you're not showing up in search results.
They look nice, but they're actually f*cking up your job search.

I can usually guess how long someone's been in recruiting by their spicy hot takes on LinkedIn. I'm usually right within a few months. Like the baby recruiters (approx 1 whole year or less) telling every other recruiter not to judge candidates by their titles/experience 🤣

Anyway, that's what it's like when we get a resume that has a bunch of unnecessary shit.
You want your resume to be quickly and easily understood by the reader.
What’s most “eye-catching” for recruiters on a resume is relevance, not design. It’s easier for us to see your relevance when what you’ve done isn’t cluttered or hidden in graphics, columns, or pictures.

Without knowing any other context... This sounds like a "the meeting wasn't important to me" issue not a "I work at home" issue 🤷🏼♀️
And I absolutely wear soft pants to the office when I'm onsite 🤣
Today I had three meetings. Nobody showed up prepared.
One person dialed in from the car, one from the street. One said he had reviewed my product but he had not.
I'm starting to think remote work has led to some bad habits... Anybody agree or disagree?

I genuinely don't know why this is helpful. 🤷♀️I'm corporate now but even in agency I didn't give a shit. Just tell me what you want.
If I'm a candidate and someone pushes me on this, don't fuss when I lie to you. I'm securing my bag and I know how to play the game so suit up.
Unpopular these days but here goes:
As an agency recruiter, I still want to know your current compensation.
Countless times I've been more helpful, negotiated better offers, having this information.

I don't care what it is - if it's a deal breaker for contacting an applicant, put it in the job description.
If you're going to trash Easy Apply applications because the job seeker didn't follow up, have the common sense God gave you to say so. Try this - 1/2

Plot twist - don't even bother with a template.
- Write everything you ever did.
- Edit it down to the important shit that the job you want requires
- Format it to look nice but no columns, graphics, or silly shit we don't care about.
Basic Word is FINE🤷♀️
I just reviewed Google Drive & Microsoft Word Resume templates
Every single one of them was trash
If you can't afford to work w/a professional career coach,
Google "(Your local university) Career Center" then take one of their templates
Even if you don't have a degree

@oliviabrxtn
that number is not real.
It counts the number of people who CLICKED. Try it for yourself. Look at a job posting, note the number of "applicants". Click the link, but don't apply. Wait a couple minutes, go check it again. I guarantee the number went up by 1.
Faulty data.

Google, the company that is projected to lay off thousands of people.

US based folks - file for unemployment IMMEDIATELY. I mean it. These systems are about to get overwhelmed and you don’t want to miss out on what’s due to you. Do. It. Now.
What’s one piece of advice you can give to jobseekers navigating layoffs?
Mine is- Structure your daily job search, including breaks. Knowing when to walk away from the screen to give your brain a rest is key to avoiding burnout. Bringing your best self to the search is vital.

You wanna manually re-enter all the information on your resume into the application fields? Cuz this is how you get to re-enter all the information on your resume into the application fields.
Our systems are typically held together with duct tape and prayers. Simple. PLEASE.
Looking at resume templates on Canva right now.
Please don't do this.
These are nice looking, but this is like a Graphic designer's idea of what they think recruiters are looking for.
It's not. The ATS systems we work with will have no idea how to read this 9/10 times.
