Fit is Key: Both a company's culture and the role's requirements need to be a good fit for the candidate. Recruiters should screen for fit during the interview process.

Following Up: A well-crafted follow-up email to the recruiter after applying can increase your chances of getting noticed.
Networking Matters: Building relationships with people in your field can lead to job opportunities that aren't publicly advertised.
Focusing on the Future: Consider the skills that will be in demand in the coming years when choosing a new job.
Open to Work on LinkedIn: There are pros and cons to using the "Open to Work" feature on LinkedIn. It depends on your individual situation and industry.

How to demonstrate enthusiasm during a job interview. Finding a balance between not showing enough and showing too much enthusiasm.

How to Show Enthusiasm

Do your homework on the company: research their mission, values, products, culture, and recent projects.
Bring materials to the interview: portfolio, presentations on how you can contribute to the specific role, or ideas tailored to the company's needs.
Verbally express your interest: mention specific aspects of the job and company that excite you and explain why.
Follow up thoughtfully: send a thank-you email or handwritten note reiterating your interest and qualifications.
Demonstrate that you are a continuous learner: highlight relevant courses, certifications, conferences, or workshops you've completed.
Mistakes to Avoid

Desperation: avoid phrases like "I'll take anything" or "I need this job so badly."
Obsession: don't send constant emails or calls after the interview.
Overly aggressive selling: focus on how your skills can benefit the company, not just getting the job.
Lack of focus: be clear about why you're excited about the role and how your skills can help the company.

• Traditional interview answers focusing on yourself (commute, company culture) are ineffective.
• Companies hire to solve problems and achieve outcomes.
• Craft interview answers that showcase your skills and how they benefit the company.
•  Use the job description to understand the company's needs and tailor your answer accordingly.
• Quantify your achievements with past experiences to demonstrate impact.
• Focus on being a solution provider, not just someone filling a job title.
• This approach can be used in cover letters and interview responses, even if the specific question isn't about why you applied.
• If you can't connect your skills to the company's needs, it might not be the best job for you.
