Podcasts about cover letters

In Season 15 episode 3, Charles Suggs sits down with Greg Medland, aka “The Elixir Fixer,” to talk about the current state of hiring and the software jobs market in 2026.   Greg shares what he's seeing from both sides of the hiring process as an Elixir-focused recruiter, from shifting company expectations to the growing importance of specialization, communication skills, and real-world product thinking. We discuss how the market has changed since the 2021–2022 hiring boom, why things feel more uncertain today, and how developers are adapting to a slower, more competitive landscape.   The conversation also explores how AI is affecting hiring workflows, résumé quality, technical interviews, and even the rise of fraudulent candidates. Greg explains why human relationships and reputation still matter more than ever, especially in smaller ecosystems like Elixir where community connections carry real weight.   Along the way, we talk about what junior developers are up against, why senior engineers with domain expertise continue to stand out, and what developers can do to position themselves more effectively in today's market. Greg shares practical advice for building a sustainable career, developing a clear professional identity, and navigating a rapidly changing industry.   Topics discussed in this episode: The current state of the Elixir job market Hiring trends and market shifts since 2021–2022 How AI is changing hiring and recruiting workflows Fraudulent candidates and AI-generated résumés Domain expertise vs. generalist engineering skills Product thinking and customer-focused development What companies are looking for in 2026 Junior developer challenges in the current market Why senior specialists remain in demand Networking and relationship-building in tech Open source contributions and visibility in the Elixir community Standing out in a crowded hiring environment Résumé quality and application strategies The role of personal branding for developers Remote work trends and geographic hiring patterns Technical interview expectations and evaluation changes Startup vs. enterprise hiring differences Human connection in an increasingly automated industry Career resilience and long-term positioning Building a sustainable software engineering career   Links mentioned: Socially Responsible Recruitment https://sr2rec.com/en/ Greg's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elixirfixer/ Greg's email address: greg@sr2rec.com

In this latest episode Jac & Ral teach you how to humanise your application to stand out from the sea of AI-generated, generic slop.

Listen in to find out what they mean by this!Fun Fact from the Episode: Jac once got a job by couriering an actual suit to an agency with her CV in the pocket because they advertised for a "suit" (account manager).

We live in a world of markets. The ones we can easily see, like grocery stores or restaurants. And the ones that are less obvious, like college admission, waitlists, even your schedule. Yet these less obvious markets play an important role in our lives. That's why I wanted to speak with University of Pennsylvania economist, Judd Kessler, author of the book, Lucky by Design: The Hidden Economics You Need to Get What You Want. He not only helps us recognize these hidden markets, but he also arms us with the knowledge we need to succeed in them. This is a book that will help you see the world with fresh eyes. You'll not only understand how these less obvious markets work, but you'll gain tips on more effectively designing your own. Related Links Is There a More Fair Way to Sell World Cup Tickets?

Hello and welcome to Episode 305 of The People Powered Business Podcast. Happy 2026 and welcome back. After a short break, I'm diving straight into a question I'm hearing more and more from business owners as hiring ramps up again. Are cover letters redundant? In this episode, I reflect on what season many of us are in right now, growing teams, reviewing recruitment processes, and trying to hire well without wasting time or creating unnecessary complexity.I unpack why so many businesses still rely heavily on cover letters and why, in the traditional sense, they're no longer giving us the insights we think they are. With the rise of AI, most cover letters now sound the same, polished, impressive, and often disconnected from how someone will actually perform in your business. I share my own approach, the common bias business owners have towards strong writing and compliments, and the so called ‘trick' application strategies that don't always tell you what you need to know. Ultimately, it comes down to who you trust and how that aligns with your leadership style.I also walk through what to do instead. This includes thinking more intentionally about what you actually want to assess, how to screen candidates more effectively so you don't over interview and confuse yourself, and how to rely more on what you can witness rather than what's written. Resumes still matter, and interviews are still critical, but only when they're designed well. I also share how you can use AI to your advantage in recruitment rather than letting it blur your decision making.Links & Resources:

In this episode of the "Get Hired" podcast, host  Nicky Bulmer and co-host Michelle Frechette interview Tatiane, an experienced WordPress developer. Tatiane shares her journey in WordPress development, emphasizing her skills in creating and customizing themes and plugins. The discussion covers Tatiane's approach to handling feedback, collaborating with teams, and optimizing WordPress sites. Nicky and Michelle provide Tatiane with resume and interview tips, highlighting the importance of clear communication and showcasing both technical and soft skills. The episode concludes with practical advice for job seekers, reinforcing the podcast's mission to enhance job application materials and interview skills.Top Takeaways:Cover Letters Should Be Concise & Tailored – A strong cover letter shouldn't just repeat the resume. Instead, it should highlight why your skills and experience are a great fit for the specific role and company. Less is often more—focusing on one key project or skill that directly relates to the job can make a stronger impact than listing everything.Confidence & Clarity Matter in Interviews – Candidates should confidently communicate their skills, especially when discussing technical expertise. Using specific language, such as naming programming languages or frameworks, helps interviewers understand the depth of knowledge. Additionally, if an interviewer has an accent or uses unfamiliar words, repeating for clarification or asking them to rephrase is a good strategy.Continuous Improvement & Adaptability Lead to Success – Surrounding yourself with the language, culture, and best practices of your industry (as Tatiane did with English) makes growth easier. Being open to feedback, refining application materials, and improving communication skills over time can significantly increase job prospects.Mentioned In The Show:The Events Calendar Liquid WebDungeons and DragonsGitHub WPIncludes.me
