TikTok for Resumes? Landing a job with a video

This week Sarah chats to a special guest Andrew Dewez, Co-Founder of what has been called ‘TikTok’ for resumes’ - Zapid Hire. He’s here to talk to us about video cvs, and how they can allow people to be hired purely based on their personality and passion and leave the paper behind.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - shoutout to Scout who messaged us from the US to request an episode about thank you notes after an interview. Great idea Scout, keep an eye out in the coming weeks!

Exit interview do's and don'ts

You’ve told your boss you’re leaving, and you’ve given your notice. Then you get an invite to meet with HR for an exit interview. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

We talk through what to expect in an exit interview, why we even do them (and sometimes don’t) and how you should approach it in the best way possible.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - goes to our very own EMMA who landed her DREAM JOB in radio. Round of applause for our very own banter queen taking her own advice and shooting her shot!

Show Notes

02:12 - Certifications

05:30 - We have standards, and people move faster than standards.

jQuery moved faster than vanilla JS
Typescript is sometimes preferred over regular JS
We have universities that offer web developer certs and many of them are a joke
The point is that programming is the wild west — it’s far too broad and moves far too fast for us to try and fit it in a box

10:28 - Do certifications mean anything?

14:30 - How do you know if you have enough skills (when you’re job hunting)?

19:04 - Some jobs do require a certification
