My question is: if a job posting clearly states to upload resume and there is no option or mention to upload cover letter, should you still include a cover letter with the resume? My concern is two-fold: 1. if I submit a cover letter it clearly indicates I didn't follow the directions provided; 2. if I don't include a cover letter it may be more difficult to standout in a pile of applicants. Thanks in advance.

Can we send our questions ahead of time and if so, where? Thanks.
Thank you for hosting this! My primary question: I've heard a lot about companies now regularly submitting ghost postings to job boards for many reasons (ie. to look like they're expanding to investors, to increase traffic to their website, or because they're required to post a job even when they've already internally filled the role). Are there any systems in place or strategies we can apply to identify these? I'm concerned about spending hours working on resumes and cover letters to tailor them for jobs to pass/rank high on ATS systems, only for them to be fake job postings or roles that have already been filled. I also have a secondary question about quantified data: What amount is ideal for our resume, and what can we do when previous employment didn't lend itself to quantifying data or have any metrics tracking processes (or refused to provide us with the metrics they did collect)?
Definitely net working is a great way to find a job.
Volunteering is alos good opportunity to network.
Job market has been horrible
My question is this: In most technical interviews, it's common for a panel to ask a series of technical questions that range from topics ranging from something you'd encounter day-to-day to rather edge-case situations. As someone who struggles with answering questions off the top of my head, especially when an answer may be open to interpretation, what is the best strategy for responding when I don't know the answer specifically or maybe not at all?
