I'm #hiring again and I really do wish people would look me up more before they applied. I'm not going to be impressed with your #google workplace skills, or your use of #canva, or any #socialmedia app.

If one, just one applicant, mentioned their open source or #selfhosting skills, that would be a ticket to an immediate interview.

Every interview I've been in where a candidate mentions their work related home hobbies makes the interview very enjoyable and us always leading to that question, "when can you start?" That kind of energy is what we can use.

Without that, interviews can be a struggle, "can this work out?"
