Not fully tailored but I definitely throw in some detail specific to each role, just for that personal touch. And for the love of god make sure you change the company name

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview?

I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Hi,
What can I read for a Cloud Migration Consultant - AI/ML role as my 1st round of interview is scheduled.
I have 0 knowledge in Cloud and System Design and these 2 are also a key component to test in RRK.
When I asked recruiter that I do not have any knowledge he replied with then you would not be asses on these areas but rather on ML and Project Management.
What I am doubtful is how they can comprise with requirements?
