We are so back! Most of Big Tech is hiring again. Thousands of jobs. And the market beyond big tech is also rebounding, with recruiters calling more often, more roles open, and more interview activity. Good times ahead.

3 mins people. That鈥檚 all it takes to proof read your resume before submitting. Don鈥檛 want to update? At least throw it into @ChatGPTapp and have it re-write the bad parts with a few suggestions. That takes another 3 mins.

surprisingly many candidates who look great on paper make this mistake馃憞
Spoke to a candidate who had a solid SWE resume. Throughout the entire call all he did was bash all of his previous employers. Every time I tried to guide and direct the convo towards his skills & experience, he went right back to ranting. Even if you鈥檙e right as a candidate, don鈥檛 this. It鈥檚 simply just not a good look.

1 - Quality > Quantity It's better to send one, targeted high quality application to your dream startup than blasting your resume to hundreds of opportunities Most applications to a rando applicant tracking system at a startup that's doing well are dead on arrival
