Couldn't disagree more with posting on social media as a challenge to yourself, for the sake of it. Life is too short. I work hard in the office, post when it's relevant or important, and try to enjoy my life as privately as possible.
I respect that. I try to post on social media ( mostly LinkedIn ) about concepts from relevant subjects, recent developments in the industry, my experience in a project, challenges I faced and how I overcame them. I agree with the gentlemen, that activities pages serve as a cover letter. Hiring managers can get a glimpse of my personality through the activities page. I also like to comment on posts from my connections. For example, I am contributimg to the conversation by stating my opinions.
My takeaway: - Try to highlight knowledge/skills/ experience that are potentially transferrable to ur new job. As interviewer, we should give interview the chance to demonstrate this. - ADD structure: Answer the question. Detailed Example, Describe the relevance. (connect the dots).
Great talk! I remember hearing that interviewee question "is there anything about what I've shared, anything about my background, that would give you pause?" type of question in a Cal Berkeley interview talk years ago. I've used it many times! I have never received a direct answer. They say "no!" - and then I don't get the offer/next round. I think people are very hesitant to give an honest answer. And I'm in New York! Anyway, I wonder if anyone has received responses to this question. I still love this question! I'm not sure I will keep asking it.
I had an interviewer say "if I have any other questions, I will reach out to you." I was pretty certain at that point, I didn't hit all of the screening criteria for a DOD contractor role. 😂

The ADD structure was terrific. Thank you

Haven't had good experiences using it either! I think it's better to ask other things like how you can best help the team if you're hired among others
I love the think fast video sessions, thank GSB and Matt!
Matt, thank you for sharing your learnings
Very insightful and valuable sharing
The LinkedIn plug at the start was quite silly, however the rest of it is a pretty robust guide.
This is so valuable
Top-notch class. Thank you for sharing.
This is great. Thank you for the dialogue.

This is a master piece i am first time on this channel
Good learning .
Finally they got a camera 😅
I love ADD
Why are they speaking so fast, I had to watch this video at 0.75x speed
too many ‘you know’
