- Can you ask for your interview performance feedback once you start working at a company?Companies generally discourage interviews and managers from offering any sort of feedback at all during the interview process. But if you get a job offer and you start working at the company, can you ask for feedback on how you did during the interview at that point? Is it even worth it?--

4 min - Should you ever offer to work for free to convince a company to evaluate your skills?A user asked my opinion about whether offering to work for free is a good incentive for getting a company to evaluate my skill. Some companies will take advantage of this and then not hire you. Some companies can't allow people to work for free. My advice: know what your skills are worth, and get paid for your efforts.--

10 min - You started a new job, and now have to learn skills quickly. What’s the best process to follow?One of my regular VIPs on Twitch said that they're learning Java at their new job, and being given additional project work. They were concerned about how quickly the company will expect them to be proficient. How do you have that conversation with your manager about "learning on the job", so that everyone has their expectations met? Also, don't memorize things that you can look up later -- it's about the strategy, not the syntax.--

7 min - How do you deal with a company who gets aggressive when you try to negotiate?I've never had a company be actively "hostile" during negotiations, as this question implied, but I have had negotiations stop suddenly with a "no, we can't move on that, period". Most companies, especially in the 2021/2022 job market, are willing to be flexible to find the right talent for their teams.--

7 min - Can you work as a consultant living in a different country?A livestream user asked about working as a consultant/freelancer while working in another country. While I hate to answer these questions with "it depends", there are laws that might block companies in other countries from letting you work remotely from another country.--

4 min - How much personal detail should you put into answering the question ”Tell me about yourself?”There are lots of pieces of information that companies WANT to know about you, but some of that information could be used to bias against you as a candidate. At the same time, if you're so tight-lipped that you come across as uncooperative or uncommunicative, that can be bad for you, also. Where do you draw the line.--
