Do people on the hiring end believe that people don't really need experience as much as they just need to get good training? I'm tired of the store life and want to explore working in a warehouse setting where I can do a forklift operator job. I have no experience, but I want someone to trust that I can pick up a skill very fast. Are my expectations too high?

Most warehouse jobs have their own version of getting certified to run the equipment. One of the few places that trains and takes people with little to no experience.

I love hiring people with no experience because I can mould them to be model employees.

No experience many times means, no bad habits to break, no " this is how we did it at my last job" BS and no confusion about goals and training. That being said, proper training is expensive, therefore some prior experience may shorten that curve. It is a battle all leaders fight, and the trainees too.

On the job training is crucial to any position. Depending upon the position, you may need more experience to build your skills. However, I believe you need a certification to be a fork lift operator.

Good decision bro

As someone who has done both the floor and warehouse, I can honestly say that warehouse is the place to be. It's especially difficult right now because the job market is bad and there are a lot of people with relevant experience looking for jobs. If you are already working in the store, I would start there. Mention to your manager that you are interested in moving to the warehouse if a job becomes available.

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.
