Our monthly career coach column on BioSpace just dropped! This month we offer deeper insights into navigating the job market and the hiring process. There's a lot of stigma and confusion surrounding career gaps, but recruiters are more interested in how candidates have used their time to maintain or enhance their skills. This episode provides practical advice on how candidates can positively frame their career breaks during interviews, using tutoring as an example of a valuable experience. We also advise junior hiring managers on running an efficient and compliant hiring process within resource-limited environments, such as startups. We also touch upon the legal considerations in interviews, stressing the importance of only asking job-related questions to avoid discrimination.

Tailoring your resume to align with the job description is critical for success in job applications.

This week, we have something for both sides of the table, whether you're interviewing for your next job or interviewing candidates for your next hire.
Navigating the interview process can feel like a minefield. How do you follow up? When should you follow up? Have I been ghosted?
And if you're interviewing candidates, you also have a lot to keep in mind, like creating a great candidate experience and running a data-driven process.
Carina and Alison chatted about all things interviewing this week, plus how to answer the all-important question, "If you were a tree, what type would you be."
