Feeling super vindicated: I applied for a role that I would’ve taken and was told “let’s interview some others and get back to you in a few weeks.” Interviewed with a reach (much better company, more competitive, much higher salary) and got it. Just received the call from the first company offering me the role

Yay! It never hurts to punch up with jobs. At worst you’ll realize your skill gap and know how to better prepare next time.

Wow! Congrats on the new job. Smart recruiters know never to say they are interviewing other candidates for the role unless the intent was rejection.
Looks like someone in the interview panel liked you and tried to push for your hire.
Make sure you reach out to everyone who interviewed you on LinkedIn and say thank you.
People remember those things and it’s a good opportunity to build your network.

After a few long interview processes, I've learned that prior CPG experience is highly valued when entering any CPG industry (even in low- to mid-level roles). Can someone with experience recruiting in the space help explain the importance of the experience? Alternatively, would love to be able to "spin" my resume to help fill in the gaps that this lack of experience leaves.

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience. Quarterly, I have a performance review call with my Market Executive and until today never heard anything negative… my growth is slower than I’d like and definitely I’m sure that’s why, but today he said last time “they” wanted to give me a letter of education and he talked “them” out of it. First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?

Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
