FREE Cover Letter Reviews, Mock Interviews & Q&A Sessions
A safe place to ask questions, receive candid feedback, and get actionable advice as you complete your applications. I'll also help you look for and stay updated on top graduate job opportunities.
⚡️Welcome to Keep, Ding, Ghost, a newsletter that unlocks the CV-related feedback employers often withhold from job applicants.
Remember that company that rejected your job application despite your great CV? Remember how you didn’t get feedback on why you were rejected or why the person whose CV made it through was selected? This newsletter will show you what probably happened.
I am very excited to announce Keep, Ding, Ghost Office Hours, a podcast with Q&A and mock interview "office hours" for students and recent graduates planning to apply for insight programs, internships, and full-time graduate roles.
As you know, the Keep, Ding, Ghost newsletter will mainly focus on reviewing CVs to help you better understand how graduate employers decide which CVs to advance to the next round of the application process (i.e., keep) and which to reject (i.e., ding/ghost).
The Keep, Ding, Ghost Office Hours podcast, which will officially launch in the coming months, will provide you with opportunities to request mock interviews and get clarify your doubts about other areas of the graduate job application process (cover letters, interviews, tests, etc.). Of course, you can also use the office hours podcast to ask CV-related questions.

Having a safe space to ask questions is something I wish I had more access to when I was applying for graduate jobs. As you hopefully also already know, and as mentioned in this newsletter’s “About” page, I have 10+ years of extensive experience in screening candidates for internships and full-time graduate positions. Since I consider myself somewhat of an advocate for job applicants and want to see candidates do well, I’ve also spent countless hours answering questions from proactive job applicants through the phone, email, LinkedIn messages, etc.
Screening candidates can sometimes turn into an elimination process, which gives the impression that we take joy in seeing flaws in your CV or application. That isn’t true, at least not for me—and everyone I’ve worked with to date on screening and interviewing shares my sentiment.
Most people, like me, who are involved in screening and interviewing candidates are more than happy to answer your questions and even encourage them so that we can help you submit the best version of your application.
So, it’s been great that several of you have been reaching out and keeping me even busier than usual with your questions since the soft launch of this newsletter. I have been getting such great questions that it often feels like a missed opportunity to share my answers with just one person. I know so many other job applicants who could benefit from the Q&A sessions I have been engrossed in, as they are in similar situations and, therefore, have similar questions.
Hence, the Keep, Ding, Ghost Office Hours!
I hope you’ll find the office hours helpful, and I look forward to receiving more of your questions and mock interview requests!
Have a fantastic day!
