Sharing learnings from my ongoing Job Search & Check in Q&A on your job search


Details
A key intention of this meetup is to check your progress with regards to your current job search/job in Germany or even if you're in another country
Let's learn from each other's shared experiences & tap into the true spirit of community-based learning to make the most of this meetup
Meetup Agenda:
- [15 mins] Share learnings from my job search and what has worked and not worked so far. This includes:
- Feedback from one recruiter
- How other applications were received
- What companies are looking for
- Sharing other learnings along this journey over the last 1 month or so of being a job applicant myself
- [15 mins] Share other people's learnings from their current job search. Here you can share what has worked and what hasn't worked for you. We all learn better together & from each other's experiences.
- [30 mins] In the remaining time of the meetup we take up the highest voted questions(depending on number of participants that actually join the meetup) and try to accommodate as much as we can in 30 mins. I intend to use Slido for the same(link to Slido for asking Q&A will be shared during the meetup). If we have only few people(like 5-15 people) join, we would do 1 question per person to keep it fair and we'd aim to timebox it to 2 mins each including both Q&A so please plan accordingly and be ready with your question so that most of the 2 mins can go in attempting to answer it.
