Just talked to a recruiter looking for someone with 5 years of IAM experience for an entry level sales position. These people are insane.

What's the IAM company?

@beyondtrust That sounds like they are vetting for technical skills! I would show them your ability to fully understand a technical concept quickly

You have to keep in mind that the recruiters don’t make the job qualifications themselves. They receive them from their boss or the hiring manager. If they rule you out, it could be that they thought you were great but their manager did not.

The pool is full of applicants … why settle with good while there might be best in the pool …

I always learned, good isn’t good enough …

Flooded labour market right now chock full of competent, highly experienced candidates.

Honestly everyone has high standards becuase salaries have gone up so much that people are just trying to get maximum value. It sucks, it definitely feels like interviewing comes with way more pressure than before

Y’all need to start wordsmithing then.

Dear Friends,

I had my package discussion with HR and they asked me to submit the documents for approval. In the meantime I received a link from Capgemini to take the Mocha English Pro test.

Can anyone help me understand what this test is about and what kind of questions we can expect..I would appreciate your quick response as I have 2 days left to complete the test.
Thank you in advance.
