I love how it’s stated as a given that recruiters and hiring managers can’t even spend 5 minutes on each candidate’s application due to volume restraints, but as an applicant I’m expected to do a laundry list of tasks that take a lot longer than 5 minutes even though I’m applying for hundreds of jobs.

Thank you Eric, love the channel! There is a surplus of information out there about how to navigate the interviews, and how to pass the technical interview, but a SEVERE LACK of information regarding how to actually GET the interview itself! I found you, and this video to be very valuable and informative, you've earned yourself a subscriber!

Awesome video and great tips! Thank you for taking the time to make these.

One thing I would add is to always keep building one’s network. This can be done by attending local meetups, contributing to open source, and in many other ways.

I was actually contacted by cook systems but I didn't know what they did. I better reach back ou to them 😅

Thanks Erik! By any chance, do you know a European based equivalent of FastTrack'D? I cannot find one so far

If only "the best candidate" can get the job, then what happens to the 99% of us that aren't considered the "best candidates".

Bro my only concern at the moment is the job search process which i need to start after 2 months after being out of corporate world for some time so hesitant & nervous about performing well in upcoming challenges.. could you share some wisdom regarding that how to be employable in competitive market ? How to get hired faster ? stay an achiever despite of wind blowing in opposite direction ? Can Unique identity or skills makes us more Valuable than any other things ? Any book suggestions on this topic would be helpful too ...
