Interview Experience
I was browsing this subreddit few days ago when I saw a computer student looking for an internship. I sent him a message asking to forward me their resume and I can pass it to the right people at my company. Now I am the CEO of a very well known direct to consumer tech company and have exited few startups successfully prior to that. I did not reveal any of that, rather I told him where I work, and I said I can forward the resume to our CTO. He asked me to add him to LinkedIn. Which I did, next I receive a question regarding my profile and get blocked by him. Moral of the story, if someone asks you for your resume, please send it and don’t shy away. That’s the only way you can get a job. Your resume is not a secret and does not fit under HIPPA compliance. Network as much as you can, I haven’t had a single job interview since 2009. Been networking since. One job leads to the other and one startup leads to the next. I hope you find this helpful
