found a role i’m really interested in and came across a post about it from hiring manager with a “reach out if you’re interested”. I’ve got a few connections to the company - is it better to try to go through someone I’m connected with in a different department and try to get referred, or just jump on the hiring manager’s post and reach out to them cold?

Why not try both ways? There’s no harm to do both I’d say!

As a hiring manager, please do it all. Great talent and is hard to find!!

Do both and don’t hesitate. Imagine if you were the hiring manager and one or two colleagues reached out to endorse someone who already reached out to you...that would be a candidate that goes to the top of the list!

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?
I can't apply to boutique firms since Dutch is mandatory

Hi all! I'm new to Fishbowl and a recent college graduate. I'm looking for a full-time role once my summer internship ends and I'd appreciate help in finding some openings.

I appreciate any suggestions that come my way! :)

They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
