Ghosting has become a new hiring strategy—companies conduct interviews and then disappear, leaving candidates without responses.

Ghosting by HR has become a frustrating trend in recruitment. Candidates go through multiple rounds of interviews, often investing time and effort, only to be met with silence afterward. This lack of communication—no rejection, no feedback, no update—creates uncertainty and damages trust.

I'm burnt. Attempting to figure out how to pivot.
Over 50, I've been a COO, SVP etc at mid-tier orgs ending in B4. Technical enough to call BS, ops expert, excel at organic sales.

How do you correct bad aspects in your character that you unconsciously got from your parents?

I’m doing my first UX portfolio on Wix. I have the case studies content drafted out, but I’m struggling with brainstorming wireframes/actual UI for my case studies. I make it a rule to look for dribbble/behance for inspo but only sketch when im not looking at things because I don’t want to copy directly.

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature.

Hey designers, how do you choose which work projects make it into your portfolio as case studies?

Impact? Depth of the project? Level of complexity?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
