What this webinar IS:

A behind-the-scenes conversation with people who make hiring decisions

Based on real CV reviews and interview experiences

Focused on patterns hiring managers see every week

Open, direct and grounded in real hiring outcomes

Honest about common mistakes candidates keep repeating

What this webinar IS NOT:

A generic “how to get a job in tech” session

Motivational talk with recycled LinkedIn advice

A checklist that guarantees a job

A pitch for open roles

A place where “just be confident” counts as guidance

What you’ll learn about:

The CVs that get attention vs. the ones that get skipped
What made hiring managers pause – and what made them move on instantly.
Interview green flags and red flags
Real behaviors that build trust – and those that quietly raise doubts.
The biggest myths candidates believe about hiring
And what hiring managers wish candidates understood instead.

What matters beyond the job description
Signals interviewers look for but rarely write down.
Hiring career switchers with no tech background
How and why some non-traditional candidates still get hired.
Your questions, answered honestly
An open Q&A – where the real, unfiltered insights come out.

As we mentioned above, here will be time for live Q&A, so you can ask what’s on your mind.
