7MS #629: Interview with Stu Musil of Ambient Consulting

7 Minute Security

Today we have a fun featured interview with my new friend Stu Musil of Ambient Consulting I had a great time talking with Stu about bashing come common misconceptions people have about working with recruiters, plus tackling some frequently asked questions:

• How do you properly vet a recruiter you don't know, but who offers a job opportunity you're interested in?
• What questions should you ask a potential recruiter to get a feel for their level of experience in the industry (hint, if a recruiter doesn't even have a LinkedIn page, that's probably a red flag)
• Resume tips:
  • • Finding the right length and tone
    • Tailoring your resume for each individual job
    • Highlighting your strengths
    • Do people still use cover letters when applying to a gig?
    • Is a "hobbies and interests" section still a good idea on a resume (to show them you're not a robot who works 24/7)?

• Lets talk about some horror and/or success stories from the world of recruiting!
