The right coach can help with what a self-help book can’t: seeing how you’re actually coming across in interviews — and what needs to change to get hired.

Your accomplishments matter—but aren’t enough on their own.

Hiring decisions are made on how you present and position your experience—and how it’s evaluated throughout the hiring process.

You can apply to hundreds of jobs…

…and still get screened out by one missed call.

Even small decisions in the hiring process determine who moves forward.

HOLY F: Workday just lost the argument that matters most.

A federal judge said their AI hiring tools can be challenged for filtering out applicants over 40.

“The algorithm did it” is NOT a defense.

If this holds… every company using automated hiring just stepped into legal risk.

You’re not crazy... if you’ve applied to 50, 100, 200 jobs and heard nothing… The system itself may be filtering you out.

The decision means the plaintiffs may continue pursuing claims that Workday’s technology had a disparate impact on applicants age 40 and older. - SHRM

Judge Lin dismissed some California claims and one disability claim, but gave plaintiffs until March 27 to revise and refile.

Interview practice shouldn’t be role-playing trivia questions.

It should be pressure-testing how you explain:
• decisions
• tradeoffs
• failures
• results

That’s what hiring managers listen for.

Applied for a job through Workday?

A federal court just opened opt-ins for what could become the largest hiring discrimination case in U.S. history.

“If the collective is in the ‘hundreds of millions’ of people, as Workday speculates, that is because Workday has been plausibly accused of discriminating against a broad swath of applicants. Allegedly widespread discrimination is not a basis for denying notice,” Judge Lin wrote in her ruling.

When rejections arrive at 3am, humans aren’t involved.

That’s the point.

Weak introductions cost job opportunities and add months to the search.

Here’s how to answer “Tell me about yourself” in a job interview:

HR listening to you at the interview knowing they already chose their relative.

Anti-White, anti-male discrimination ends now

@firepats12 @BungieHelp You have zero followers

[Gary Dumais, Psy.D. @gary_dumais]

@firepats12 @BungieHelp Yeah, it was a good comeback. You better get busy shilling with your sock puppet accounts - there's thousands more people complaining about Destiny 2 you need to try to silence with name-calling and intimidation.

[Gary Dumais, Psy.D. @gary_dumais]

@firepats12 @BungieHelp Obvious shill, and now you're an exposed angry shill, still trying to shill.

[Gary Dumais, Psy.D. @gary_dumais]

@firepats12 @BungieHelp Ah, a shill. Right, the rigged drop rates, recycled content, lying about sunsetting, all the other constant bugs, deceptions, etc, etc - thanks for the reminder. Oh, and the player base dropped so low the game was nearly dead, so, yeah - people obviously stop playing.
