Listen Later

In this special Ask A Recruiter episode, I sit down with seasoned tech recruiter, Loreen Dinkelacker, to get her insights and advice on every step of the interview process.

Together, we explore:

Pre-Interview

  • How to best position yourself as a candidate to get noticed by recruiters
  • Tips on crafting a resume that stands out and tells a story
  • Whether or not cover letters are needed (and if recruiters even look at them!)
  • If you should apply for a job that you only partially qualify for 

During Interview

  • What to expect when interviewing with the recruiter v. human resources v. the tech team v. the CTO/CEO (and how to best prep for each)
  • How to avoid unusual mistakes during a video interview

Post-Interview

  • The correct etiquette and best strategies on sending thank you notes
  • How soon to follow-up on a position you've interviewed for
  • How to approach discussions around compensation & negotiation

Tune in for an in depth behind-the-scenes look at the hiring process. This episode is jam packed with valuable information from a recruiter's unique point-of-view.
