Jacob Wells: I need help replying to emails from potential future jobs.

  • Come to the HR meeting prepared. Go through all information available to you like an employee handbook so you’re already clear on the regulations.
  • Ask what the test entails before agreeing to avoid possible exploitation.
  • Treat red flag messages as data, and decide what cost you are willing to pay to live and breathe YouTube.
  • If they're willing to pay you and respect you, then the test might actually be a good thing for you before you commit to working with them.
  • Summarize past conversations clearly in follow ups, because people meet many faces, especially when alcohol is involved.
  • Do not follow up with your resume unless he specifically asked for it during your conversation.
  • Make your ask specific by naming where you are going next and what is stopping you, so others can actually help.
  • Find a reason where people can be helpful to you, help you answer specific questions and overcome specific obstacles
  • Use rejection as a roadmap by asking what would need to change to become a better fit, then turning feedback into goals.
  • Enjoy the vacation and be present, because emails and anxiety will wait.
