      Ricardo Dicksalot CEOs at corporations don’t even interact with low level associates. Same goes for those in the military. It’s taboo to try to buddy up with a CO or Admiral when you are at a junior level. It would be more detrimental than helpful. Dumbest advice I ever heard.

Whenever I went in and was healthy and smiling, I was always passed up.

      The best career advice I ever got wasn’t even a person like lady in the video or any career trainer or school it was some random dude with a good job I was playing hold em in a casino one day. we were chit chatting and I asked him how you did such a good job I tried so hard to find one. I had an decent job before I was let go and so many job offers are from black companies who just want slaves.
      He told me this “Birds of a feather flock together”
      I was confused I didn’t understood what he mean he sighed and said look who knows you I told him yeah my friends and family and he said that do they have connections or are they working the same crappy jobs you can only find. You need to find the places where the people with the connections you want are or you will never get anywhere “You think HR will help you it’s not in their best interest to find the right person for the job” you make friends and connections with the right managers they will open doors for you.
      And I find this true just going where the rich people are and have that fake it till you make strategy make friends with the right people has done more for me in my career than any advice I ever had gotten from career counselors and videos like this.

Either as an employee, a freelancer, an executive or an entrepreneur. As a professional (employee or not) you are judged on your current performance not what you did 3 years ago. What you did 3 years ago may have defined your current position and salary, but cannot keep you at the work.

      Well, because that is exactly how they do those decisions, but it is not purely their fault.
      Basically, they have no objective instruments to select, all of the tools they have are a joke.
      Yet, they are held accountable for the "wrong" hiring.
      So, what does a person do when they are held accountable for something that they can't control?
      Use your gut feeling, experience and bias + make decisions based on evidences(certificates, etc.).

    Love your reactions 😄 but then honestly, I've been kinda watching the first lady's channel, and she's got like 600K subscribers... people are watching her stuff and find it good. Is that the reason many US people can't get a job? :) Listening to all the wrong advice? But then AGAIN, I've heard that crazy HR questions at the screening interviews are NORM in the States.
    Here, in both Ukraine and Russia, nobody cares about your favorite colors or what spiritual animal you are (what the heck is that?..). I run a remote software development company, and we have three stages of interviews for our candidates: test task (tech), tech interview with our CTO and me. My CTO tests the candidate's ability to answer LOGIC and PROGRAMMING questions online/real time, I test the candidate's overall sanity, English level and all the administrative questions (like, his availability, his current situation - whether or not it will affect the work results - etc. And the final stage is the interview with the customer (mostly, our customers are US companies).
    I am always present at those interviews and THIS is where the questions like "what was your most stressful situation and how you solved it" are being asked. That's crazy. "Tell me an example of miscommunication and how you solved it". I mean, okay, that's not the worst questions, but I do understand that for the onsite workers, those questions get crazier.
    ...Another reason I LOVE working remotely. Or I'm just getting old and lazy.

    Im a tech recruiter and while I think her advice could be good for a select group, it is very specific advice that probably only applies to one specific person on her mind.
    Best advice I can give: recognize that interviewers are people too. Some people are good at it, some are not. Some people interview well and some dont, from both sides. If you can think about this, you can work with the interviewer better to solve the problem together of are you a fit for the role. Not just a q and a session thats honestly usually arbitrarily picked from a google search.

    I guess my advice in software development, is find a few recruiting companies in the region you want to work in, contact them, and have them look for jobs for you, set you up with interviews/job prospects. I pretty much have contacts at 5 companies in my region, and if I need a new job, I just contact them, and they line up interviews for me, and negotiate salary for me(only useful if at will/permanent, if contract you will have to negotiate against the recruiting company). Typically I get several interviews a week and have 1 or 2 offers come my way by month's end. Note: When they ask if they can send your resume to company A, make sure to only say yes if they are the first one's to ask if you have several competing recruiters. I have not personally applied for a job in 5 years, but always find stuff. Advice 2, accept all these recruiters that want to be contacts on Linked In, ignore the constant emails for jobs when you are not interested, when you are interested, reply to those positions they send your way or contact them directly through LinkedIn.

      @@jameslivermore4481 Well for at will/permanent, they don't. They charge the employer a percentage of your first year salary on top of what you would get, and typically get me more money than I would have been able to get myself(unless you want to go the independent contractor/freelancer route), as for contract they do you are correct, however recruiting firms usually have access to jobs that are not available on the broader market, since they aren't posted, so you can have advantages here, as well you tend to have a friendly face introduce your resume to the employer, and get way more interviews that way, once I get to the interview I usually shine and get the job, as well if at will/permanent it is in their best interest to get you top dollar and know the market value better than you sometimes. Thing is this is career advice, and tons of people have a hard time finding well paying jobs, and getting top dollar, so this beats blindly applying on indeed for stuff and negotiating pay yourself, as well I get more interviews having 5 people looking for work for me, instead of just myself. If ontop of being a great developer you are great at getting clients and making and keeping business relationships, and can land these positions yourself without a middlemen to do that leg work for you, then great you will definitely get even more money, but I am not the best at that personally, and I get paid quite well.

    1. Contact the companies you want when they don't have public job opportunities on indeed and other sites. I've landed a few jobs because I didn't have any competition and I contacted them first before they even posted a job opportunity.
    2. Offer to do something for the company for free that is actually really helpful and valuable to them. It's a way to show off your awesome skills.
    3. Once you get hired, Write something for the company, like a new higher guide, or a step-by-step guide to do something related to the company. I've done this at almost every job I've ever had and it seems to always help me give promotions.
    4. Always be looking for a better job opportunity and don't be afraid to take it.

    The first half was garbage, but she was right on the interview questions. How many people have YOU interviewed? I often get asked to interview for software positions in my company and people rambling on and on and on is actually a very common problem. Let me be clear, this is not due to lack of context, sure provide longer answers where necessary. The problem is people that ramble on endless irrelevant tangents. Think of a date, when you ask a question and the other person talks for 5 to 10 minutes straight without missing a beat. A lot of interviewees do THAT on an interview. At the end we waste time so I learn less about them and I am forced to be more aggressive constantly redirecting the conversation (I prefer to be mellow). Moreover my first impression is that this person is chatty and distracting, which is not a disqualifying characteristic, but not a positive one.

Half these people were hating her for things she never said like how you should build a connection with your higher-ups to the point you send them a birthday card. She never said send it blindly as a first meet. She said building the connection (networking). This only showed how none of these men listened and just wanted "confirmation bias" to hate women.
