Any tips for a pentester interview?
Hey folks -- what’s a subtle interview red flag people should pay more attention to that most candidates ignore at first? I’ll start: - The interviewer constantly interrupts or seems distracted the whole time. - Nobody can clearly explain what the role actually involves day to day. - They dodge questions about turnover, onboarding, or why the role is open. - The interview feels weirdly adversarial for no reason. Anything else that comes to mind?
I’ve started judging companies by how they reject candidates. Some places make you feel respected even with a no. I received the nicest rejection email today that let me down easy and still made me feel hopeful about my next interview. Others just ghost like a situationship. Can’t help but wonder how they think they’ll attract great talent they treated that way in the past?
At this point I’m convinced some companies repost the same job every 3 weeks just to keep HR emotionally fulfilled 😭 How are the same jobs popping up on LinkedIn for months?
This job application process is becoming tiring. It takes approximately 30-40mins to tailor(including editing and formatting) CV and cover letter to each job post. After approximately 4 applications, mental fatigue sets in. I am considering using some form of Agentic AI to scan LinkedIn and apply for matching jobs. A scenario where all I will do in the end is just verify and click submit. Has anyone come across anything like this?
I am an older woman with 25+ years of experience and a masters degree in psychology but have been fired from my last two positions due to issues with timely progress note completion. In my last position, I was made an assessor on top of my case load. What tip can you give to help with the interview?
Just go for it.
Just gotta do it man.
