I currently am unemployed and job searching. I am close to get a few roles at companies that feel okay, but am worried about if something better comes along. How bad would it be to leave a role early on (like within the first 3 months) for a better role/company? I'm also worried…
A company rescinded a job offer after a week of silence. I went through a few interviews with this company and during the final interview they said I had the job and were going to give me an offer letter. I gave them my references the next day. A week later I reached out and I…
Hello everyone, for 2 years most of my work has been submitted remotely. Recently a former employee and ‘officer’ of the company left, started his own business and is offering a substantial higher pay to some workers. I’m with this company for almost 12 years and (mostly) love it…
I’m taking a mental health day today. I had planned to take Friday off but ended up needing to work. I stayed late both Monday and Tuesday. I am so backlogged with work and barely have time to think or plan any of my work right now. I have deadlines I’m striving to meet. Yet…
I am learning the hard way that 12+ years of experience at one company doesn't necessarily translate as "above entry level" outside of that company. I got passed over for a promotion (they hired an external candidate who is better for the position. I get it, that's 100%…
I have a toxic boss and no one is doing anything about it. Last week the CEO noticed that I was aggravated during a meeting and asked to speak privately with me. I was completely transparent to her about how his actions are negative and not constructive to me or the company. She…
I am having a horrible time finding a new job. I feel so tapped out after applying to countless jobs over the past few months. Every once in awhile, I’ll get an interview, or even move to a second interview, but then get denied. I’ve been with my company for over 8 years, and…
We work in a small team and it usually is a pleasant work environment. However, we have one team member that has now taken to backstabbing, sabotaging, and thoroeing tantrums when she ceases to be the center of attention. I don't know how to keep dealing with her as she is such a…
Five years ago I handled a situation unprofessionally and received a letter of reprimand. I did not follow a direct order; there were things going on that were not right such as bullying but I handled the situation badly. I continued to work for the agency an additional four…
Reaching interviewing fatigued after recruiters stating the next steps include weeks of compatibility meetings? I'm committed to finding a different job and willing to put in the work. That being said, I'm noticing that instead of shortening the interview process, companies are…
I need some advice. I was offered my dream job- remote, excellent pay, good benefits. She found my resume on CareerBuilder, emailed if I was interested, had me fill out an application, and quickly offered me the position. We've never spoken even though she wants me to be her…
Need advice on how to get skills to get back in the workforce after being out for 6 years. I got a CMAA 3 years ago but life and Covid happened and here I am feeling worthless...
I have several employers that require a "personality assessment" as part of the interview process. This test feels invasive because it asks questions such as true or false: I am happy all of the time, I am motivated all of the time, I am confident all of the time, I am satisfied…
Should I stay or should I go? Hi everyone ? I've been working at the current company for about 5 years already and from time to time I have small talks with HRs on LinkedIn to check out companies that are interested in me and to understand my current salary evaluation on the…
Struggling with a new manager. Bear with me - this is a long one. I was promoted a few months ago to a brand new, created-for-me position. I now report to two managers, with the role being split 50/50 between the two teams (both teams report in to my ultimate boss, so they are…
I found out last week that my company is eliminating my position. My boss scheduled a 1:1 with me, then conferenced in HR and of course I knew something was up. He told me real quick what was happening, then got off the phone and let HR take over. I have about three weeks left…
Struggling with changing to a new job. When I resigned from my current employer they matched the pay increase and took away one of the main reasons why I am leaving; but that problem will still be around and not sure if current employer can make the poblem stay away.) The…
Has anyone any experience with Amazon recruitment policies? I went through a three month interview process and made it to the final round. I didn’t receive offer. Six months later another recruiter hit me up for an 3ven better position but then once I told her I had interviewed…
Hello community, I just recently started a new job and quickly realizing that I may have been brought in at a level lower than I should be in, based on the job profile, experience, and expertise. I realized this because I am reviewing these job profiles and levels as I think…
After being out of work 11 years, I find it really to tough to try and remember work stories by answering with the STAR method during job interviews. Anyone else have trouble remembering your work stories or have challenges answering interview questions? How do you handle this?
