The only thing I’d add (another top video by the way) would be something about how to “sell yourself” - how to make yourself stand out once you’ve got the ATS friendly CV format and the friendly recruiter. Particularly important these days with 100s of applicants going for the same jobs, 90% of whom have likely just used ChatGPT to spit out some verbiage that might get them past the initial screening.
Nowadays nobody gives feedback following a rejection. How to know the real reason you were rejected so that you can be aware of it for the next time and possibly mitigate it?
Thanks Ed! I would love to see from you a video with interview questions (junior/middle/senior). And how would you see the answers to them. I think this would be a very interesting video.
Nice video!! Could you make a video about college students and how they can get an internship or gain experience before they finish college or get their first job? I am learning C# in college, but most jobs require a lot of technology; for the first job or internship, should I dominate all of them or just know the basics?
Hey Ed , i always enjoy your videos because you seem very honest and right to the point. I was wondering if its possible for you to create a video about building the right foundation for back end development in C#. My main issue is that , beyond crud apps and managing authentication and authorization or working with ef core , there isn't much more to learn ( at least not what seems obvious). I just wanna know how would someone keep improving in this area , i really want to but whatever project i think about has almost the same architecture and implemenation as the other crud apps i have made with .net core. I have been burned out with .net core for about two or three weeks , and i have been working with other languages like C and go ( just to keep learning and building and not waste time ) Long story short , i dont know how to keep improving my .net skills , while there seems to be a lot more to learn in other areas of programming for me ( networking , building different type of projects , gui apps ... Etc) Edit : i guess some stuff are learned through experience and working in a job , maybe i should just keep programming with whatever i can and whatever feels fulfilling to me , instead of trying to get very very deep into a certain area and being blind to other areas and getting burned out by it.
you've hit the nail on the head in that there are other things to learn. can you build a decent UI for your .net backend? can you deploy your app somewhere with CI/CD? can you build a game in Unity with your C# skills? lots to branch out on, both to become full stack and to leverage your existing skills. thank you for the comment!
@@edandersen so in your opinion its completely fine to also focus and dive deep in other languages and areas ( including other C# stuff) , even if the ultimate goal is becoming a back end developer or such. I guess it makes a lot of sense , thanks for the reply.

I should probably follow my own advice...
Speakling of which, is there anything that I've missed?
Too jumpy is my red flag because they are unqualified and have been found out by previous employers.
I would always probe the reasons why. if the candidate can't at least spin a positive story then yeah
Proofreading: be sure to remove email contents that inadvertently get in from your resume writer about hoping the resume works.

I just love this channel, I like the sarcastic/brutally honest tone. keep it up, Ed!
14 minutes of reality check! The personal brand part deserves a video of its own.
great idea, thanks!
Informative and entertaining, more of this, please!
I'll do my best! thanks!

thank you for the video
the point you talk about the person too old is not high risk gave me hope
it's not, there are bigger risks
It's really fun. GREAT!
Solid advise here. Thanks 🎉
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching :-)
Ive never got an honest answer to this question, everyone seems to avoid answering, but are you allowed to take your wife to the interview?
lmao no
