asking for a friend : he was laid off from one of the big 4 2 years back. Recently he saw another job opening in the same big 4 but with different service line within the same practice he was with before. He applied again through referral and has a recruiter call. Will it be easier for him to be upfront with the recruiter about past lay-off ? In these 2 years he has gained much more experience and client accolades. What’s the best possible@to handle the call? please advice.

It’s always best to be transparent if trying to boomerang. I assure you that HR will complete due diligence on the candidate and why they were separated. Being open and willing to discuss instead of obfuscating will go a long way.

Quick question, if a candidate’s layoff impacts a rehire, is that something that gets taken into consideration in the first or second interview or final?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?
