Job Hunt
Learning Hub › Career Learnings Directory › Dr. Docter's Career Learnings
Building Your Network covers building the network that gets you an interview in the first place. Once that's happened, the job hunt splits into a few distinct skills — what belongs on your resume, and how the interview itself actually works. This page is the landing point for that material; each piece gets its own page rather than one long one, since they're genuinely different skills exercised at different moments.
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| Building Your Network | Building relationships before you need them, and using that network to actually land an offer |
| Resumes | Writing resume bullets that already signal all four Leadership, Business, Interpersonal, and Technical (LBIT) dimensions, not just Technical |
| My Resume — A Worked Example | My own career, run through that same formula in full — both the one-page version and the full career version, for comparison |
| How applicants and hiring teams size each other up, how interviewers read your profile, building your network early, preparing for your interview team, keeping posts professional, and keeping your own profile current once you're the one interviewing | |
| Interview Prep | What your interviewer is actually doing with a script, and how to answer across LBIT live in the room |
| Mock Interview Practice | A game to actually rehearse LBIT probing with a partner before it counts |
Offer negotiation isn't covered here on purpose. It's mostly an experienced-hire skill — most corporations aren't negotiating with a campus recruit, competing-offer situations aside — and it's not something I've personally had to do, so it's outside what this wiki can speak to firsthand. If a future Second-Hand Tigers contributor has that experience, this is exactly the kind of gap their own repo could fill.
