At some point all of us will be involved in interviewing. Some days you will be sitting in the interviewee chair, trying to impress a panel of people who give only blank stares in return to your witty remarks. Other days you will be in the interviewer chair trying to judge a candidate’s qualifications from answers to canned questions. After interviewing hundreds of people for all kinds of technical jobs, and advising candidates in all points of their career, I will give you the inside scope on what is happening and how to do better at this essential part of the job hunt process. Whether you are thinking about starting your own job hunt, or have been tapped to be on an interview panel, join this session to learn:
• How to understand at a job description, how to vet a resume
• Recruiters, contracts, aggregators, and how to understand the motivations of everyone involved
• Different approaches for the technical, “culture fit”, and soft skill parts of the job
• Key questions you should be able to answer without asking directly and why you are being asked/asking certain questions
• When and how to talk about money
