With the low numbers we have at agencies, even tokenism sounds like a lofty goal.

I don’t know how to make this request.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?
