Guest: Nick Smith, Co-Founder and Head of Talent for AstraPack
Ready to break out of the job-hunting crowd and become the candidate that hiring managers talk about? This week, Nick Smith returns to share perspectives from nearly a decade of recruiting for the likes of Meta and Amazon Prime Video—where competition is fierce and the bar is sky-high.
• Why do the questions you ask at the end of an interview really matter, and how can they make you memorable—sometimes in all the wrong ways?
• How much leverage do you truly have when an employer asks what you’re looking for, and what simple shift can help you avoid leaving money on the table?
• What’s the most common rookie mistake that makes you look desperate—and how do you kick the habit for a more confident, professional vibe?
If you want to do more than just land an interview and actually seal the deal, this episode delivers the strategies you’ve been missing. Listen now to give yourself an edge.
