  • Pretty good

    Not a bad little show . The only thing I’ll say is the free things you can subscribe to a very difficult to navigate. They use Google docs which does not save.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should you bring a display folder full of achievements to your job interview?
Q: Do you think it would be a good idea to bring in a copy of some of the work I've done, abstracts of reports, things like that and other achievements that I've done throughout my uni degree and also my volunteer experience?
The hosts discuss whether bringing a folder of achievements is beneficial or if it may come off as excessive, concluding that context is important.
Should I apply if I don't have quite enough experience?
Q: Can I slightly lie about the amount of time I've been working at a company?
Lying isn't advisable, but if you have pertinent experience from projects, you can frame it justifiably.
Should I apply if I don't have quite enough experience?
Q: How important is the number of years experience on a job application?
It's not always a strict requirement—many companies just use it as a guideline to filter candidates.
What it means when a job ad gets reposted after you apply
Q: What's going on when a job position is reposted while I'm waiting to hear back?
It could be that the hiring manager wants to see more candidates, the original candidates may no longer be available, or it might be a routine reposting to keep the job visible.
Job offer dilemma - more money or more security?
Q: What should I prioritize when deciding between a luxury brand with lower pay and a startup with higher pay?
Consider personal circumstances such as financial stability, career progression, and long-term impact on employability rather than just immediate security.
