reid evans + critical thinking and how to separate yourself on the job search
guest: reid evans, principal consultant at results stack
- position yourself as someone who solves problems instead of chasing a specific job title or w2 role
- in interviews, focus on communicating clearly and asking good questions rather than proving you are the best coder in the room
- recruiters should ask what projects a company has going on instead of just asking about open reqs for a specific tech stack
- a resume should tell a hiring manager what you do in 15 seconds, skip fancy fonts, columns, and headshots
- your most recent job or two should have real detail since that is what hiring managers focus on most
