Does anyone find Jeff Sipe’s frameworks NOT helpful? I tried using his C-FAS framework for my GCA/RRK questions as I was preparing but ended up feeling like I was trying to “fit in” a framework rather than answer the prompt. Ended up using the rule of 3 (3 buckets to look into) for my first interview and wondering if I should change my strategy before my on-site.

I was asked with one of the examples he covered in GCA clip, which was very helpful. Overall framework was not as relative to other GCAs during the same interview and I had to think on my feet. But Jeff's clips gave me some comfort level that I'm trying hard :) self assurance

I sound it helpful to think through and frame my answers but didn’t follow it to a tee

No one has a recipe. He makes you think about your answers. If you think about it, the structure can work for any FAANG interview. Or just any interview. It's about communicating. Blaming "rule of 3" or STAR or whatever highlights my point.

How do you’ll show you the following on your resume?

- different levels held at the firm (show it separately or just one entry saying A -> M and list the details below?)
- multiple projects you’ve done, similar and different in nature (how do you summarize this?)
- do you’ll keep your photo on the resume, like a lot of the younger professionals have been doing?
- is the ideal number of pages still just 1?

Appreciate any guidance and insights, TIA!

When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
