Can anyone speak to the value of referrals and the best way to go about it? From recent posts sounds like it doesn't do anything. Why happens when it goes into the system

And the quality of the referral. It’s one thing for someone to enter you into a system, it’s another for them to call or email the hiring partner or manager and discuss your qualifications.

It all depends on the company. Some referrals might guarantee an interview while other referrals might only guarantee an actual review.

I know I shouldn't take an emotional temperature on day one, but it has been more difficult being back than I anticipated. Any tips for navigating the waters for the first day/week/month back?

Happy Friday! Has anyone made the switch from HR Generalist to payroll/benefits specialist? Wondering if you missed being involved in hiring, onboarding, employee relations. These are the things that are super stressful for me right now (dept. of 1) but also what I somewhat enjoy. I’m newer to the benefits space but very interested in it.

NYC Freelancers! My Medicaid is ending soon and I need to start making health insurance decisions (lame). My current agency is offering me FT and I’m pretty terrified as I feel like I’m going to sell away my freedom. Their health insurance is pretty good and allows me to put my partner on it. I’m trying to also rationalize paying for my own in NYC but it’s so expensive ($500+/mo). I go to the doctor fairly often. Single NYC freelancers (no kids), what do you pay monthly or yearly? Worth it?
