Anyone else struggling to get good references because your last manager left the company. The new one barely knows me but HR says no exceptions. It’s wild how much a career can hinge on someone else’s LinkedIn status.

If the HR at the new place only wants a reference from your current manager, who barely knows you, that’s kind of a red flag. Shows they are wholly inflexible at the very start.

Just ask your former manager to provide a reference.

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Law

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
