Over the course of 18 months, I applied to way too many jobs, and I learned hard, painful lessons. The main one? It wasn’t about what I was looking to do that mattered - what did was in what kind of environment. For me, the people and values of the organization are significantly more important than the role itself. I have had incredibly unique jobs, some in toxic environments. In this talk, I’ll draw on lessons from OSINT, risk analysis, and maturity assessment to explain how to conduct "cultural due diligence," including how to maximize chances of an interview and which questions to ask during interviews. Attendees will save on the cost of the job hunt based on my experience.
