Do you pick candidates purely based off how well they interview? I feel like it's easy to miss out on candidates that would be great for the role but don't interview as well. But I also have no idea what other metrics I could assess them by.

"But I also have no idea what other metrics I could assess them by." Their prior work experience, qualifications and education. Interviewing is important, but it's not the only determinant in whether or not an offer is made. A candidate with an impressive resume isn't going to automatically be disqualified over a mediocre interview.

I dont necessarily agree. A resume can be easily faked so I expect a candidate to be able to speak to their resume and knowledge

Im interested in applying for the Barclays technology analyst summer internship role. However, the fear of being rejected is impeding me to actually go for it. I would really appreciate if someone from a similar role can have a look at my resume. It would be great if you could provide me with a referral too. Completely understand if that’s not in the scope :) any means of help is appreciated!

I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?

I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.

Any Advice?

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

Folks, need some advice here. I got my hike letter at Unilever and it looks like the hike is only on the basic salary (as per the letter) and not on entire fixed (basic + hra + other).
