How not to apply to a company.
This week, I've been spending a lot of time reviewing candidates for our
open role at WeTransfer. It's surprising to me how many candidates apply with the idea that we're a money transfer company they use weekly.
The last example means candidates are actually lying: how can you use our website to transfer money if we don't even support it, ha! Either way, there's an important message to share here: make sure you know for which company you're applying. Even though your profile might look great, answers to initial questions can tell a lot about who you are and how seriously you take an application.
Following up on this: I'm considering writing a short book or guide to prevent common mistakes. If this sparks your interest, please reply to this email and tell me what you would love to learn about interviews!
