Haven’t seen it done, but shouldn’t be a challenge. Strategy is strategy. Tactics and executions differ but if attempting to understand humans is kept at the core you can pivot from there.

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

Hello All, one of the renowned market research company is looking for Industry/Senior Industry analyst position. Eligibility: Minium 7 years of experience as a market researcher in Electronics/Semiconductor/sensor domain.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
