It's our pleasure - Faye was a great guest!

Alexey points out that most applicants to any job are irrelevant. And if you do have relevant skills and experience now, it's actually easy to tailor your CV to the job, as ChatGPT or other LLMs can help with this adjustment. From our recent conversations with many hiring managers, it seems like now it is expected to have a tailored CV, especially because they're all reporting being bombarded with many very strong looking CVs, so if you didn't tailor it yourself, you're unlikely to be shortlisted for any interview. It's a tough hiring market out there, so we appreciate this might be hard to hear.

Thanks for joining us Artur!

It could be that for some of them. Also for others who are very introverted, working in an office can be a struggle. It would be tough for anybody who was an introvert and then started their careers working from during Covid, which would only have exacerbated this introversion. It's a great tip from Matt to try to avoid being overly closed off at work and engage with your peers - good things will happen!

@@aloobatests That is true too, I should have been a little more kind than just describing them as self absorbed. Thanks for adding this to the comment. =)

All data related roles involve a lot of human interaction and every hiring manager would place value in softer skills for this reason.

@@aloobatests I goes very wrong when all you do is to think about how people interact, dress them selves and act. It does not help on bit to actually solve the problems. I work as an engineer in a hospital and I am quite good at figuring out the departments needs and fix their problems without offending them, doctors have very fragil egos. It is often easier to get the truth and correct information from under nurses. Well, the biggest problem it the leadership that has no idea what we actually do and therefor ONLY fokus on what the ar good at. Numbers and human relations. So we have a management program that is so ill suited for the task and so slow it takes mush longer than the actual work to report it. Then we need to internally bill everything with pretend money that takes even more time. So basically we are working 25% fixing things, 25% to document what we did, then 50% producing meaningless numbers to meaningless people playing with pretend money. I am living in Sweden with state health care, so we are not really billing anyone. Throw out all the bosses, consultants and pretend economic people and we cost half the money for the taxpayer and do 2 times the work easy. Not stressfull as hell like now.

Interesting take and thanks for your contribution - what are the supposed tax benefits of posting job ads? Also, is there any evidence to share around 95% of job adverts being fake?

It does seem that both sides of the market are using AI increasingly, and it's got a bit of a race to the bottom feel about it.
