Job Search

Now that I am hiring, being on the other side has made me learn so many mistakes that I did/do (too)

  1. Research (find at least 5 sites or people) about the position's playability
  2. Ask that much, don't let imposter syndrome get better of you (I am guilty of this)
  3. Do not share your current salary. If you are not desperately looking for a job, put your foot down. Give them an expectation (point 1)
  4. Expected range - you want the higher number, HR sees the lower number
  5. Don't over-follow up - I have had people reach out on multiple platforms within 24 hours of applying. Give a week's time.
  6. Clean up your resume, no spelling mistakes. I have seen some very beautiful resumes chumeshwari
  7. Sometimes, the recruiter doesn’t have all the answers; they are also not getting updates from teams. Please be patient

If I am asked about my current salary, how can I avoid it / decline sharing it? Won't it be looked at negatively?

I tell them I am not comfortable sharing. A previous number doesn't define the value I bring to the table

What should we say, after they ask expectations of salary?

Research before hand, have a confident number to share

P.S. I'm not a HR/Recruiter by profession, founder's office roles make you do everything.

Reflection: 2024

1/ Ghosting hurts, but ghosting back hurts more (and is absolutely justifiable revenge) 2/ No amount of market data will make a hiring manager agree to a realistic salary band 3/ The most effective tool in recruiting is still... empathy ...
