Hello everyone, I hope all is well.
So all of my experience is with children and customer service and I think that is hindering my chances as I'm trying to get into administrative work, and these ATS systems are being used. I've repeatedly redone my resume using what I believe are 'keywords' but still nothing.
I am trying my best not to feel discouraged during the job search. I have to remember that more people are struggling to find work than not these days. So folks stay encouraged!

What is a Senior - ll role looks like in Deloitte USI? Can someone share their experience?

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
