Do mock interviews, practice in the mirror, reframe your lay off in a positive way

Reframe layoff as an opportunity to reallocate your time to values e.g. spending more time with family, side hustle, searching for new role that better aligns.. if they press on why laid off always default to economic conditions (if they really want to know they can ask for references which is a pain in the ass)

Get off social media, eliminate any and all distractions. Start reaching out using cold emails, LinkedIn, meetups etc…for INFORMATIONALS, not a job opportunities. Then at the end thank them for their time, and tell them that if you know of any opportunities, you’d love to be considered. Don’t look for a job, look for a connection that will get you another job. I was an awful consultant and I’m
a terrible trading analyst, but it doesn’t matter because I treat everyday as an opportunity to build upon a relationship and that’s all that really matters. Good luck!

I wrote out my own answers for the most common behavioral questions complete with stories and anecdotes. I researched each company I interviewed with and created a list of questions to ask about each company to both learn and demonstrate interest. Even the process of preparing for these questions should help!

Hello All,

Recently I was reached out by a recruiter at Meta for ML Engineer role. I have more than 5 years of experience in ML but I am not ready/prepared for an interview at Meta. What should I do? Should I just reject the opportunity or at least give it a try?

If I schedule an interview, can anyone help me with resources which can help me prepare in 15 days or so.

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?
