Shannon Brown: There's a human side of recruiting, and here's how to get onto it!
🎙 About the episode
Meet Shannon Brown 🇺🇸! Shannon is an experienced tech recruiter, and in this interview, she will teach you how to get your foot in the door even if you're coming from an unconventional background. A good recruiter should know how to recognize an overlap between your skills and job requirements, but there are also things you can do to make your application stand out.
In this episode, we're talking about the dreaded ATS, the importance of storytelling, and cover letters (which might not be as important as you'd think... unless they're required)! You will learn how recruiters operate and what they're looking for, and why both recruiters and job applicants should be in it for the long game. You'll also find out when is the right time to apply for a job and how to troubleshoot an unsuccessful application. Plus: photos on CVs, font preferences, free resume reviews, and tough coffees.
