I volunteer for an lgbtq suicide hotline if that counts as an lgbtq “extracurricular”

Not that much unless you have some LGBTQ extracurriculars. It’s a broken system where only diversity that is visible, i.e., which schools can brag with, is promoted.

Good question. And if yes, then how to highlight this in application.

Also in the same boat! Coming to terms with my LGBT identity is a big part of my story and I'm a mentor in a mentorship program for LGBT college students, so I'm hoping that counts for something

Hi folks, need guidance. Skill - . Net + azure and YOE - 4.

After two tech round received email for documents. HR said that she will discuss regarding my expected offer with the team after receiving documents from my side which I sent yesterday.

Are they trying to take my one more round of interview? I was hoping to get offer after sending documents.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
