‘Make it painstakingly obvious you can do the job’

Exec coach Ashley Rudolph over at Reframed wrote about how candidates can stand out in a crowded job market. For those who never seem to clear the recruiter screen, she offers this advice:

A recruiter’s job is not to be impressed by your potential or your work history. Their job is to confidently say, “Yep, this person can do what we need. And they’re worth passing on to the hiring manager.”

Your job in this stage is to remove as much uncertainty as possible and make it painstakingly obvious that you can do the job. How?

• Study the job description like it’s an open-book test

• Bring clear, recent examples that directly map to the responsibilities

• Use language they understand, not internal jargon or vague strengths or if your aim is to shift industries, don’t use terms that don’t mean anything in your new industry. (Build bridges, don’t highlight gaps.)

Recruiters often aren’t experts in the function they’re hiring for. They’re listening for signals or relevant sound bites. If they keep asking for more detail or more proof, it’s usually a sign that you haven’t connected the dots clearly enough yet.

Required reading for the inquiring mind

• Packy McCormick over at Not Boring wrote about why we should take weird ideas seriously, quoting the writer Haruki Murakami: “If you only read the books that everybody else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” 😵‍💫 Which is really just a paraphrase of Orwell’s Politics and the English Language.

• Nvidia is thinking of putting $1 billion (with a b) in AI modeler Poolside. 😳

• The metaverse is rewriting the rules of who can be a K-pop star.

👨🏻‍💻 K that’s all

Xoxo,
