A few months ago with a local small consulting firm, I had a couple of in person interviews. At the time, I was looking at a jobs in a different cities and was candid about my openness to moving. I got the a rejection letter & reached out. I was told they liked me as a candidate, but the company has gotten burned in the past by people moving away quickly. I have decided I want to stay in the city and will only apply for local jobs. Best way to open communication again? LinkedIn? Cold apply?

Who was your direct contact there, outside of HR? I’d target the person you felt warmest with and open the conversation again by email or LinkedIn depending on if you connected on LinkedIn. If no email available, LinkedIn. If email is at your possession, use that.

Don’t be shy but have a compelling story on your ‘why’ you’ve decided to stay.

You made it seem like you were looking to move. You need to say you would move if required for the right job.

For associates who have lateraled in the last 6 months or so, what made you decide to move? Has your situation improved since moving? I’m a transactional mid-level & I’ve interviewed with some great firms recently. I’m struggling to get excited though…it just seems like no matter where I go I’ll be overworked & under appreciated. Hoping there are some positive stories out there to give me hope. Haha

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for the job change in ServiceNow profile and having a experience of 4+ yrs.

Currently I am trying to create network in linked in and naukari but still not getting the response from some companies like JP Morgan or mindtree etc.

Can u help me to understand what is the best way to create a network to some major companies.

I know applying directly to the company site mostly doesn't have any benefit or will take long time to schedule the interview.

I want to get out of ID so badly. I don’t mind the work but the hours are just killing me. I just started at a new firm less than 6 months ago and I am already desperate to get out. It is not the firm or the people. I just hate the high billables. I have been applying to other jobs but I think I may need a recruiter for help. Any recommendation for a great recruiter in NYC?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
