Hey there folks,
It's been a while but I thought I could give back what I learned during my interview process with several companies since I just finished studies and am now working.
Why would I post something about a job on the fastlane forum ?
1.) I believe that one can gather great industry knowledge (+ in my case sales training ) in a job while securing the basic needs.
2.) A lot of you guys advised me on first stating a job and then trying to go for a side hussle - and that makes perfectly sense because of 1)
Back to topic: what I discovered applying the fastlane mindset on the interview process by focusing "what was in there for them working with me" I got several job offers way over my market value as a fresh grad student. It was the knowledge (and conviction ) that I have the right skills and if not skills the willingness to learn that gave me an edge in my opinion
What I want to point out with this post are two things if you want to get a job
1.) Think about what you can do for them - and also think about what you can learn - not what you can earn there
2.) Never forget you are the asses for the company not only the other way round - I declined one job offer simply because I did not feel perfectly treated in the process - even though they were offering more money.
Hope it helps one or the other grad student - feels like the first time I can really put something out there that might help you guys
