How to Answer the Most Important Question In Your Interview
Recorded on March 20, 2024
,
In a competitive job market, landing an interview is one of the biggest challenges for job seekers. However, once you find yourself in a face-to-face interview with a hiring manager, how do you come across as the best candidate for the position?
Job interviews are all about diffusing risk. After all, a company would never post a role unless it knew it absolutely needed someone who could help them get to the next level. By chatting with prospects, the hiring manager can get an idea of existing talent on the market and what they can provide.
That's why knowing what's at stake is critical to any job you apply for. Outside of being collaborative, being technical, and having your personal stories down, knowing what matters to your bosses, colleagues, and the industry at large are key to being successful.
Learn how you can know what's at stake in your job search and learn to tell a story in your interviews that help you stand out in this webinar from Albert Qian, founder of Albert's List. Over the past 11 years, Albert's List has connected more than 50,000 job seekers, recruiters, and hiring managers to improve career outcomes.
In this video, Albert covers how you answer the most important question in your interviews, including:
Where you can go to research what's at stake for the companies you're interviewing at.
How knowing what's at stake sets you apart from the competition.
How you can use what's at stake as a part of your job interview.
Answers that stand out—and answers that will not get you to the next round.
Ongoing job search trends and where to look for your next opportunity.
Resources that can be used as job seekers conduct their job hunt.
And more!

Top Ten Legal Mistakes That Could Doom Your Startup

In this video, Silicon Valley attorney Roger Royse, partner at the law firm of Haynes and Boone LLP, summarizes the most common legal mistakes that startup companies and their lawyers make and how to avoid making those mistakes.

Roger discusses those unique issues as well as the sometimes surprising and ever-evolving California rules, including:

How to Recession-Proof Your Job Search in 2024
The news might say that the job market is healthy, but look around and anything but. Just look at some of the latest headlines:
Unity announced a layoff of 25% of their staff.
Duolingo, citing AI, cut most of their translation contractors.
Google, believing that its AI is ready to sell better than human beings, is about to re-organize 30,000 employees.
More than 425,000 tech workers have been laid off since the beginning of 2022.
Banking firms, noting higher interest rates and industry consolidation, cut 20,000 workers in 2023.
Even though 2024 promises to be a better year, uncertainty continues to reign. A combination of geopolitical conflicts, presidential elections, high inflation, and corporate uncertainty threatens to undo the post-pandemic recovery, sending workers down yet another roller coaster.
Be Recession-Proof
At Albert's List, we've spent the past 7 years examining the job search while serving a community of 50,000+ professionals across all career stages and types. In the process, we've developed frameworks that reveal the secrets of finding the next job while keeping the journey from becoming too overwhelming.
Join us for an upcoming free webinar that looks at both job search fundamentals and how to leverage tools, platforms, and the power of community to accelerate your job search.
We’ll walk through:
A visual way to look at the job search, and how professionals of all levels can understand what they are expected to demonstrate during their hunt for work.
How to use AI tools to make your job search smarter and more efficient.
Why leveraging a community to keep you accountable can be the best way to foster success.
How to organize your job search to stay focused
What's changed for job seekers in the current economy, and what's stayed the same from the Great Resignation era.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdf
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren.
