Why didn’t I think of this? 😂

I totally need that. For some reason people sitting next to me feel compelled to tell me their life stories

Generally nobody tries to talk to me. I’m told that I look unapproachable. Clearly not, because every now & then people still try...so I’m about to start making my own book covers. I’m so excited!

Work on your resting bitch face (or whatever the male equivalent is)! I’ve spent over a decade perfecting mine and NO ONE ever approaches me.

I have my first case study presentation interview coming up in 2 weeks. I have never done this type of interview. I was told the case study details would be emailed to me 3 days before my interview date and I must create a PowerPoint presentation and email it the morning of my interview. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I’m in the IT industry and position is with another government agency. Thx!

JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase

Does anyone else have “email social anxiety”? Not with writing emails that have to do with content/work I did, but when I’m “just checking in” and doing vaguely unsaid social things I’ve never understood well.
I feel super awkward and read too into things, it takes me 30+ min for a simple friendly email to a manager or above and I get worked up about it.
