For the recruiters who screen their friends for a role, how much different is your screening call than the others?

There's that added layer of familiarity and rapport that comes with screening a friend. You might already know their strengths and weaknesses, their work style, and their personality quirks. So, the conversation might feel a bit more relaxed and informal compared to your typical screening call.

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

I would appreciate some advice on my situation below.
About three months ago, I was applying to find a new job. A month later, I got an offer, came work for this firm. I am not feeling like this would be a great environment for me. So I accepted a job interview this week but when I sent them the resume was 3 months ago so i didnt have my current job on there. Should I tell them my job has changed since? I am worried that if i dont tell them, they will find out when doing background check.

Are there any recruiters in this bowl? What would inspire you to post openings?

I’m a junior and I have the opportunity to join the employment and benefits group as a specialist. The alternative is VC/M&A.

I’m under the impression that joining the EB group will still give me decent exit ops, has more manageable workflow (less unexpected dumpster fires like in deal-work), and a somewhat better WLB because of my previous point.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?

Even if I invest time in learning Java I can be at a beginner level.
