Anyone else getting random emails about roles that do not fit your experience and/or expertise? Loled at an email about a senior accountant role when I am about to be promoted to SM. Wish recruiters actually read up on LinkedIn profiles before reaching out.

I must be on some random list because I keep getting emails about occupational therapist roles in my area. No idea why.

Can’t be worse than big 4 right?

As a staff 1 a recruiter called me pitching a controller role. I should’ve taken it.

This happened to me today!!

Maybe they think you are feeling like you want to take a step back? lol I get them for associate or analysts roles and laugh and laugh, then think, hmm maybe.

Yes all the time. It’s annoying. Also I hate that they all say that they have competitive pay but no $amount. Like tell me the role, pay, and hours and I’ll consider it. Otherwise don’t waste my time.

I hate it. “You seem like a perfect fit for this PE Tax Director role. Minimum ten years experience and JD/LLM preferred.” I am literally an advisory senior with 2.5 years experience and never worked in tax.

Got a nice email for an audit senior associate job that would be “PERFECT for someone with my experience.”

I am a tax SM, with zero experience in audit

Cast a big enough net and maybe eventually catch something.

I get an email blast for remote tax jobs from the same people basically at the same time from the same recruiting agency at least once a week. It’s kinda funny since it’s the same exact message just from multiple different names. I’m sure anyone who actually would consider it would be put off by the bot like recruiting system.

I get junior auditor or junior accountant role all the time too. Sometimes a controller role will come by too

A Big4 recruiter emailed me about positions open "at every level" from Associate to Director... Was I supposed to pick one? Could we maybe add partner to the list?

Hello all. I’m a former director of membership at an arts nonprofit. I had to leave my position about a year ago due to vaccine-related health issues which are resolved. My kids are both going to college in the fall, and I’m looking to change direction, possibly by altering my primary field within the nonprofit world or changing to a for-profit position. I’ve worked in membership, development, career services, award programming and more. Would you recommend a career coach at this juncture?

I’ve seen a lot of takes on D&I and at first as a Black person I didn’t like it. But as I understood it better I realized its importance.

1. The purpose is no to increase hiring % but rather interviewing %.
