Ep 128: Executive Humility Experts

When searching for the next job in your career path, recruiters like Ernie Bivona agree;

Candidates should be honest and transparent
Hiring managers aren't looking for the world's best expert because there's always somebody better no matter what happens.
It’s better to be humble and understanding enough that you're willing to learn and grow to build on your expertise. Be careful when you interview - don’t be egotistical.

Ep 131: Your relationship with recruiters

Personally connect with hiring managers and recruiters during the hiring process. Avoid putting pressure on them to help you with your career. If they don’t have an interview for you - it could be a timing issue, but that’s not reflective of you.

Hiring managers and recruiters are people too. They have bad days, stressful days so cut them a break. If you understand their situation and contribute as you would when networking, you’ll get better results.
