    Interview Red Flags from an Employer’s Perspective, with Frank Smith

    Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15714&preview=true) Making it to a final interview is not a guaranteed job offer. If you’re meeting with the CEO or higher management, this is the time to stand out from the other candidates. Find Your Dream Job guest Frank Smith shares how to do that in a positive way. Come prepared with relevant questions. Be clear on why you think this job is the right one for you. Don’t bad-mouth a former employer. And, most importantly, says Frank, do your research on the company so you can state clearly why you’re the best fit for the position and the company as a whole.  About Our Guest: Frank Smith is the president of Mosaic Personnel. It’s a recruiting firm that places great people in the right opportunities. Resources in This Episode: Connect with Frank on LinkedIn. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    7 Ways To Reimagine Your Job Search, with Katie Silver

    Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15623&preview=true) Spending 40+ hours per week applying to jobs is not a job search strategy; it’s a default position that too many people rely on. But with hundreds of people applying for some job within days of listing, you need to do more than apply. Find Your Dream Job guest Katie Silver says you need to narrow down your search to those things that bring you joy. You’re more likely to stay with a company longer if you enjoy working there, says Katie. And don’t be afraid of doing contract or fractional work, as it opens up opportunities for growth, experience, and expanding your network.  About Our Guest: Katie Silver is the co-founder of the Southern Pass Company.
