EP 2130 I'm back with more questions I couldn't answer during the week:   Should I know personally, the person who can refer me to the Hiring Manager? Since that person also has a chance to get a referral bonus, probably I can request that from the people that I do not know   If I talk with a real person directly, they say "Please apply online". What should I do then?   ZipRecruiter lets you upload a cover letter AFTER uploading the resume. Should I still do it?   How long do you wait to reach back to a recruiter, if you haven't heard from them? My situation is that I had the third round interview last Monday, and haven't heard from them about next potential steps, or decisions they may have made. But I also don't want to put pressure on them.   Will the ATS define the keywords automatically by using the Job Description OR will the Hiring Manager define some keywords manually? Because, if the 1st choice is correct, I should put "team player" into my Resume as well   If applying through ATS doesn't work, why I see these percentages about "Getting an Interview" on the Glassdoor page of one company?: • Applied online - 54% • Recruiter - 15% • Campus Recruiting - 12% • Employee Referral - 12% • In Person - 3% • Other - 3% • Staffing Agency - 2% ABOUT JEFF ALTMAN, THE BIG GAME HUNTER Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter is a coach who worked as a recruiter for what seems like one hundred years.

EP 2124 Office Hours were open! This week's questions were:  How to handle relo discussions during the pandemic? Ex. Sale and purchase of a home. Sale possibly a loss but still having to pay full price for a new home? etc.    Do you believe that success depends more on what you know than on whom you know?   Do you know what spray & pray means  Why are they interviewing one more candidate (referral) after asking for my references?  I have been through a lengthy interview process and the recruiter responded that this one referral will be interviewed in the next few days. Is this a dead deal?    How do I tell my boss I'm leaving? Support our Supporters: The Ultimate Job Interview Framework https://thebiggamehunter.us/ultimate on Amazon.
