If you were interviewing for a new position, and others reached out and said “I know you just interviewed, mind telling me how it went?” Would you help, or ignore, so they can’t outprep you?

Others meaning your friend? Or literally a random guy? Use common sense...

Rando

I would just be vague

I’m curious how they even know you interviewed?

I’d explain that you ordinarily be happy to help but interviewing is often a zero sum game and you’d be hurting your own interests in helping someone else and that you didn’t get the benefit of interview prep so it wouldn’t be fair to you or the process. You can also offer to help if you learn that you are no longer in the running for the role.

Alternatively, you could prep them poorly in hopes of sabotage. Tell them the interviewer is hard of hearing so they’ll have to speak really loud and almost yell. Explain they are looking to negotiate salary at the start of the interview to save time. Mention that they don’t want lemmings who believes in that earth is round conspiracy.

A rando? Hard no.

Does anyone know how to make their resume look more manager like? My resume shows:

The recruiter at a job fair yesterday said I'm a good fit, but to send her an email with edits to the resume to make it look more like a managers one because they have to sell applicants to higher ups and schedule an interview.

I can't wait too long to send it, so nervous as I'm picking at it trying to further change it.
