  1. Got a "thanks, but no" after an interview? It stings, but there's still something useful you can do with it. A few practical steps: β€’ Reply briefly and graciously. Thank them for their time and say you'd be glad to hear about future roles. Hiring teams remember who handled a no well, and runner-up candidates do sometimes get a call when another role opens. β€’ Ask for feedback, but make it easy. One specific question gets more replies than "any feedback?" Try: "Was there anything that would have made my application stronger?" β€’ Don't argue with the answer. If you get feedback, take it as information, not a debate. β€’ Expect that some employers won't give detailed feedback, often for policy reasons. Silence on that front isn't a judgement on you. β€’ Write your own notes while it's fresh: which questions felt shaky, what you'd answer differently, what you wish you'd asked. That's often more useful than anything they send. β€’ Look for patterns across several processes rather than reading too much into one. One rejection is noise; the same stumble three times is a signal. Then close the loop in your tracker and move your energy to the next application. How do you usually handle a rejection after interviewing? Any questions about asking for feedback? #JobSearch#InterviewTips#CareerAdvice#Rejection

  3. Oh joy, another website that thinks it's ✨hilarious✨ to translate job ads into 'honest' versions. Because, of course, nobody ever suspected that "dynamic self-starter" really means "we won't train you." πŸ™„ Just what we needed, a roast for job ads because deciphering corporate-speak is apparently rocket science. πŸš€

  6. Got a job offer? The few days between "we'd like to offer you the role" and signing are when you have the most room to ask questions, so it's worth not rushing them.


    Some things that help:


    β€’ Say thank you and sound pleased, then ask for the offer in writing before you accept. A verbal number is easy to misremember on both sides.

    β€’ It's normal to ask for a short time to think it over. A couple of days is a reasonable request; just agree a date and stick to it.

    β€’ Look past the base salary: notice period, holiday, pension contributions, hybrid or office expectations, bonus terms, probation length and start date all change what the offer is worth to you.

    β€’ If you want to negotiate, pick one or two things that matter most and give a reason, such as a range you've researched or a competing offer you actually have. A long list of asks lands worse than one clear one.

    β€’ Ask anything you're still unsure about, like who you'd report to or what the first few months look like. It's much easier to ask now than after you've started.

    β€’ Once it's agreed, check the contract matches what was discussed before you sign or resign from your current job.

  7. Changing careers often stalls at the CV stage, because the experience is real but it's described in the language of the old job. A hiring manager in the new field has to translate it themselves, and many won't.


    A few ways to close that gap:


    β€’ Pick a small number of specific target roles first. "Something in tech" is hard to write a CV for; "junior data analyst" isn't.

    β€’ Read a dozen adverts for that role and note the skills that keep coming up. Those are the words to use, wherever they honestly describe what you've done.

    β€’ Rewrite your past work around those skills. A teacher who built the department's assessment tracking in spreadsheets has done data work, so say that plainly instead of listing teaching duties.

    β€’ Lead with a short profile that states the move you're making and why your background fits, so nobody has to guess.

    β€’ Close the obvious gaps on purpose: a short course, a small project you can show, or volunteering that uses the new skills.

    β€’ Talk to people already doing the job. They'll tell you which gaps matter in practice and which ones adverts overstate.


    Expect to explain the change in every interview, so have a clear, positive answer ready about what you're moving towards, not just what you're leaving.


    Are you thinking about a career change, or have questions about making your experience count in a new field?

  9. my ex-colleague, a senior embedded engineer, is still looking for a job in UK.

    he has a background in electrical engineering and has done a lot of work in various parts of embedded development: PCB design & review, writing production ready firmware for STM32/ESP32/nRF, mass production testing etc.

    he requires Skilled Worker visa sponsorship as his current visa expires at the end of the year.
