Hi all, currently a senior in undergrad at a target school who is looking for a referral to Oliver Wyman as I apply for FT positions, any help would be great! Happy to share resume or any helpful info as well

Hi fishes,

I'm currently working as a Senior QA Automation Engineer and seeking a new job opportunity at Singapore. I'm having an experience of 6.3 years with relevant skills of Automation, Manual, API, Database testing and would be available immediately to join the organisation.

How to apply ? Also, will require Visa sponsorship from the organisation.
Does anyone have a reference for it ?

Thank you

Partners, when you identified a minor error from a deliverable that was reviewed by SA and manager. Do you mostly get upset/disappointed at the manager, SA or the associate?

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out. I have been designing professionally now for just over 15 years now. I work very quickly and very well with other team members. I also take on freelance work. I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

I received letter of intent from vois. They are saying that offer letter will be provided at the time of joining. Is this true?

Here we go again with interim review prep...are they kidding me??

Hi all,

Can anyone please share their recent interview experiences for program manager role, especially for the task based scenarios.

What is the best way to tell customers that I will need a few minutes without making them mad? Or do you keep them chatting while you do the account stuff?

Recruiter said I’m off put by your salary range & I responded that everyone has their priorities. Did she think insulting me was going to get to work for Infosys? 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😒

Do McKinsey make your own slides or do you outsource it all to your graphics team? Asking specifically for NA.

Anyone else get ghosted by more than one recruiter at the same agency? Thought I would have better luck when the first recruiter who was notorious for ghosting left but the new one ghosted me too...

D&G - Nicole Gordon
Flaked on 2 calls she set up, blamed time difference since EST & PST are so hard to distinguish then silence, but weeks later reaches out via LinkedIn about the same opportunity

Here’s a cheerful one to end your week:

Was told last week my freelance gig was ending today.

Contacted my network of gatekeepers and one wrote to me on Sunday.

(Contd)

An in-house recruiter from Publicis reached out two months ago asking for my avails to chat. I responded within a few hours and it’s been crickets...

Tfw a recruiter reaches out and asks if you’re around for a chat... Only to never respond to you again after you say yes. Just, why?!

Ghosting after on-site interviews is despicable. Recruiting has been a part of my job for years in addition to resourcing & project management, and I would always manage to reply emails.

I’m ghosting a recruiter and it feels great!

Johannes Leonardo. Nancy was the queen of ghosting.

MDC - Annie Warren

Had what had to be the best call with a recruiter I’ve ever had — she seemed so excited to pass my work to her teams, received the sweetest follow up email from her, but now it seems like she’s ghosting me. UGHHHHH. Any words of wisdom or advice? Feeling bummed because I was super excited about this opportunity.

Twitter and Verizon.

McCann was the worst. Ogilvy and RG/A

Email response from a resume submission requesting times to chat and that she's " really looking forward to speaking with me." Three email replies later - crickets. I'm so tired of this shit...

The recruiter for freelance at Havas is the worst. She’ll email and ask for my availability then ghost. Also brought me in for an interview & didn’t even tell them I freelanced there before.

Code and Theory

Might be opposite of ghosting but still lame: interviewing brand side, lonnng 6+ month process, was told after “final” on-site interviews I was THE top candidate, they should decide soon, then (cont)

Lauren May and Nicole Wright - Ogilvy

Flew from London to the US for a two day interview marathon. Had one call with HR two weeks later where I was told they were gathering feedback and would get back to me asap. Never heard back. (contd)

Lucky Generals. I was ghosted after an in person coffee interview and promises of setting up a meeting with the other founders. Just found out another pal of mine had the same experience with them!
