As a former recruiter, job interview coach, and podcaster Matthew Sorenson brings a thoughtful perspective to the job search and career development conundrum. –
How do you talk about getting fired when you’re in a job interview? – How can you tailor and target your profile or resume to best represent the singular value you deliver through your work?
These are just two of the questions we tackle in resetting the expectations most people have about how to land a job in this topsy-turvy broken career marketplace. Bottom line: be more proactive and think of yourself as a peer looking for the best fit for you.
Don’t think of yourself as a supplicant pleading with a recruiter or a hiring manager for a job.
