How to tackle gap periods in IT interviews?
Hello, I have an interview coming up with Facebook (Meta) and its a manager role leading a global process team with multiple people reporting to the role.I have been told by the recruiter that Meta is fairly flat and the title does not really describe its seniority. I wanted to calibrate my experience to the role, would anyone have advice regarding levels at Meta and any other advice for an interview with them? Thanks

Friend. If you can, document dates and detailed descriptions of all the things she did wrong. Then right before you quit. Send it to her manager and her manager’s manager. Tell them that THIS is why you’re quitting.
That’ll be the best F YOU can do to her 👍

@@Manager-good point. Too bad I don't have any coworkers. Its just my Supervisor, Director, & I & the board of Directors. I barely know them so I probably can't use them. Im at the point now where I will take a Temp to Perm job just to get out of this horrible place.

Even for our weekly virtual workspace meetings from 11am until 3pm when I ask her if we can meet after lunch at 1pm, she just IGNORES my messages & doesn't respond. For one of the 3 programs, our organization offers, she always says to me "60% of your salary comes from that program, so you should be focusing most of your time on that program"--and acts like she isn't supposed to help me with the program. Of course, my Director just approves everything she says like she's right about everything she does & says. Where is the teamwork??
Plus, she constantly finds ways to get out of events for work when she knows it is only 3 of us altogether (including myself). Enough is enough!! Yes, I'm here to work, but I did not take this job thinking I was going to be working by myself at events for work. She is the definition of a POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING & so called "Manager." She has no conscience and no consideration for anyone else besides herself. She found a way to get out of our event for next weekend by telling our Director that she "has to go to her niece's graduation out of state." She finds a new family member to prioritize over work meetings and events everytime. She even put in my evaluation "evening & weekend meetings & events are a regular part of this job & we should be able to count on you being at these activities without hesitation. This is detailed in your job description.
It is inherent in your job is the expectation to attend programs & promotions outside of normal working hours. In 2025, attendance at any & all work events will be expected without pushback."
Work in the nonprofit sector requires nimble thinking & alot of flexibility to respond to rapidly changing situations & urgent matters when they arise. This mah meam dropping everything to handling a pressing issue, a last-minute meeting or event to attend, or creating a solution to an unanticipated problem with a tight deadline."
I attended almost EVERY EVENT last year & event when I told her I was not feeling well, I still attended the event & she found a way to get out of helping with the events because she had "family coming in to town." I recently said I could not attend an event last week because I have been dealing with major car issues (transmission). How would you handle dealing with a terrible Supervisor such as her? Plus she feels like she has so much favor with our Director so I don't feel like I can go to her about any of these issues.
If I am offered a job somewhere else (even if its Temp to Perm), then Im accepting. I can't take this anymore.
My inability to read through your entire post makes me think I definitely have adhd.
Yeah…. F that job

@Senior Business-this is for an Internal position I applied for with this company, but I completely understand what you're saying though.

Sometimes recruiters reach out to learn more about you as a potential match for current or future openings. I would treat it similar to typically first round phone screening, albeit a bit more conversational and not tied to a specific role (unless they mention something). Good luck!!
A message from a recruiter saying to meet up….. the amount of recruiters I’ve met which all amounted to nothing
I would suggest that when you talk to the recruiter you avoid getting into your obvious disgust with your supervisor. Being critical of present or former employees can backfire and make you look bad. With the recruiter, focus on the future and what you would like to be doing. And talk about your work experience without getting into any problematic details. Make the recruiter like you enough that they'll help you find a better position for you.

Yes I agree with you 1,000%. This is for an internal position with an employment agency. When he asks me, why I am looking for a new position, I plan to tell him I am looking for a position that aligns more with my experience and that has more financial stability, which is why Im looking for another position.
