I still send thank you letters
1
I was laid off a month ago and I have startef studying for cisco certifications along with applying. But When I see job descriptions and number of people applied for a job it scares me. AI has made the process complecated I believe.... I have ISP tier3 experience but today's job market wants all together. Sec,cloud, routing,switching, wireless, automation, loadbalance, vpn, design, implement, trouble shoot.......
Many companies reject candidates just because they are 51 years old. Doesn't a 51-year-old have the right to work? They hire fresh graduates even if they have little or no practical knowledge, but why don't they hire people who have years of experience? Experience should be valued, not ignored because of age.
Can someone hire me without an interview? I can do the job, but I can't handle interviews. 😭 I have experience in Customer Service and Back Office roles, but since I graduated last year, I've found it difficult to apply for jobs. The interview process makes me really anxious, even though I know I can do the work.
Have a second interview Thursday. Definitely not my first rodeo but the longer I go unemployed, the less confident I feel. That being said this company is specifically going to use the STAR interviewing Style. I've done my research on the history of the company, etc but I am finding it so difficult to memorize my answers in the STAR format, I'm going to have to use my notes. Tell me I'm not the only one struggling w/this 🙏🏻
Sending a thank-you note is just the polite thing to do. I'm always surprised when people say they don't bother to do it. It may not make a huge difference, but it's just polite to thank someone for their time, so of course it should be done.
I interview people I don’t put any value in it. If you are going to send it I personally like something clever or funny but that’s me.. I’ve had a few of those
Do you send letters, like in the snail mail, or emails? If you send a snail mail, I'm impressed. I don't think I've sent a letter to anyone besides my grandparents in a decade. I do send emails and I write them myself, but that's pretty much all the effort I can muster.
How do you send it? How do you get the address you need? Curious because I want to do it too.
You're a good person!
Same!
