Good morning! I'm transitioning from litigation to in-house and having difficulty with the application/interview process. Haven't heard back from in-house job postings and trying to figure out why. Open to hearing and connecting with folks regarding how they tailored their resume to make it stand out more against in-house applicants, and other strategies employed.

I think something to consider is if your resume matchs the job description enough to get by the HR word searches and initial screener. I have always found it extremely useful to pull the same language from the job description/posting and adding it to my resume. I would literally copy and paste entire sentences and weave then into my resume. Don't lie, but mirroring whatever is in the job post in your resume increases your chances. It has always served me well.

Hello Deloitte 🐠 20 YOE. Have referral for a content and marketing M role in cybersecurity -- the focus of my career pivot. Submitted my application today, but my referrer isn't in Cyber. Interested to widen my Deloitte Cyber network to get my resume in front of a human, since ATS has no vision or imagination. If you're willing to connect, please DM. So far, made it several interview rounds into roles with EY and Accenture. Optimistic, but want to be as proactive as possible. Thanks!

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Hi Guyz,

I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.

Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?
