Hi everyone. I have a second stage whereby I have to record a video of myself (sorry if this post is in the wrong place). Here is the brief;

‘Record a short video telling us a bit about yourself, why you’d like to work at the company, & what interests you about the role.’

Have to use Loom for this. I know with Loom you can do just video but would it be wise to make something for alongside it too? Like a PP - or is this too much? Want to go above and beyond as I love this role! Thanks!

Hi! I need some help negotiating a raise. I have been working for this company for exactly 3 months now, but I was hired as an AGM. I'm not specific on what my responsibilities are as AGM.
However the GM at the time, quit 1 and a half months in. I was thrown into the role and have been handling it since.
My regional calls himself our GM but is never on site.
Was reluctant to cover my shifts when I became sick and requested time off for a few days. (4 days)
Any thoughts?

Only way for me to be promoted and stay in safety is to jump to the business side but I’m hesitant to give up doing legal work.

Hello fellow designers. I will have an interview with a BPO company (role is Sr. UXD, and will be deployed to clients), and another with a design agency (role is Lead UI Designer). Both are fully remote. I’m located in APAC and it’s my first time to be interviewed by those industries, that’s why I’d like to ask for any advice on what to ask HR and the interviewer?

Some advice I got from my cousin was to ask the BPO company:

- is there a sign on bonus
