# Lesson plan
2+
3+
## Session contents
4+
5+
Based on previous iterations, we address a standard hiring process and look under the hood of a hiring process at a larger company. From there, we extrapolate to medium-sized and small companies and how their hiring processes might differ. In the second part of the session we focus on giving feedback on the trainees' CV, Linkedin & GitHub pages in small groups.
6+
7+
> **Note for Lead Teacher** An extensive slideshow exists for this session [in this folder](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pshCqFdkk2TI1R8Fz9WsQNP5qO6JXiu6?usp=drive_link). Ask the HYF to get access to a copy, if you don't have access yet.
8+
9+
### The Corporate Hiring Process
10+
11+
The corporate screening & hiring process (perfect world scenario) explained with the concrete example of a large Danish tech employer in Copenhagen.
12+
13+
#### Hitting the apply button
14+
15+
What happens at the hiring company after you hit "apply" on an a job ad?
16+
17+
1. First 2 weeks - roughly 30-40 applications get looked at
18+
2. Should I use "easy apply" on Linkedin?
19+
3. Apply early! Managers are eager BUT expectations are high initially
20+
4. (Seldom perfect matches exist) - revisions & compromises keep happening in the following weeks
21+
5. Applicant Tracking Systems. ATS exist, but all applications are screened by a recruiter
22+
6. It's an ongoing process
23+
24+
#### First Interview
25+
26+
Recruiter or Hiring Manager schedules or calls the candidate.
27+
2 main things are screened for: relevant experience, salary, motivation.
28+
29+
1. For HYF - why are you in DK? Long or short term?
30+
2. Language (English or Danish too poor)
31+
3. Big misalignment
32+
4. 80% likelihood to proceed
33+
5. Ability to learn fast
34+
6. How to prepare: think of examples of this!
35+
7. Personal story & family background
36+
8. e.g. Pregnancy - if it shows, ideally mention it. (for startups this can be a bigger concern)
37+
38+
#### Second Interview
39+
40+
If the Hiring Manager is happy, there will be a technical assignment
41+
42+
1. Can be a take home assignment, or standardized as Codinggame, Hackerrank or Coderbyte.
43+
2. Do it as soon as you can (but familiarise yourself with the platform)
44+
3. References! Know HYF mentors or alumni in the company? Mention them!
45+
4. Evaluated by Hiring Manager & a Senior/ PO.
46+
5. They deselect the less good candidates
47+
6. Ask for feedback!
48+
49+
#### Third Interview
50+
51+
Interview about working preferences with team members
52+
53+
1. Based on Personality type tests & working preference
54+
2. No rejection is about you, but about a fit for the specific team
55+
3. "What do you need to focus at work?"
56+
4. Feedback preferences
57+
5. Be honest
58+
59+
#### Contract offer or rejection
60+
61+
1. How to handle rejection
62+
2. Use it as a learning process
63+
3. Ask for honest feedback to improve
64+
65+
#### What general tips for CV's are there?
66+
67+
1. Must include Linkedin/GitHub
68+
2. Must fit with CV/ consistent
69+
3. chronological backwards
70+
4. Picture = yes?
71+
5. ChatGPT? Template resumés
72+
6. Relevant experience first
73+
7. Most recent experiences first
74+
8. Use the top 1/3 of the CV & BIO text
75+
9. No experience over 10yrs ago
76+
10. 1-2 pages
77+
78+
##### What is your most sought-after thing on any CV?
79+
80+
1. Always looking at the Linkedin profile to get a full picture of the applicant's network & career
81+
2. Portfolio websites & special projects can leave an impression
82+
83+
#### The feedback in practice
84+
85+
#### How to handle ongoing rejections?
