Tough talks w/Jeff Bezos, rebooting a stuck career, getting hired after a layoff, interview tips, and more: Podcast with Rajdeep Saha Part 2
Our first podcast was popular (link here) and I really enjoyed making part 2 with Raj.
We discuss:
Interview dos and don’ts.
How to get a job after getting laid off? (also read how do you best explain that you were laid off in an interview?)
Why I left at the top.
How to get unstuck in your career. (my popular live online class for those stuck in Senior Manager)
My most challenging conversation with Jeff Bezos.
Re-earning trust after failure. (also read My Jeff Bezos Story: How to Survive a Bad Failure)
And fun rapid fire questions:
Favorite Amazon Leadership Principle (LP)? (note: not surprising if you read this)
What I am drinking while preparing a presentation to Jeff Bezos?
As a hiring manager, what do I prefer: LinkedIn profile or a resume?
PC or Mac?
Favorite video game?
Kindle or paperback?
What job would I come out of retirement for?
Who would I want to have dinner with (any person, dead or alive)? And what question would I ask?
Raj and I will connect in person in the future and perhaps record at least a short side-by-side talk together.
Follow Raj on LinkedIn as well as his YouTube channel.
