Hey guys. So I was fired from failing to pass this PIP process a while ago and been applying to other places for months to no avail. I was formally a senior associate yet have a harder time finding another job compared to when I was just an associate. Is this normal? I know my resume is good but I always get the follow up response "we found other candidates that are more qualified for the role". My lease ends soon and need to find a new job before I can think of finding a new place to live.

The job market is difficult right now as it’s more of an “employer’s market” - meaning that they want to acquire a talent that has EXACTLY the skills that they need, making it super competitive. I’d suggest developing a relationship with any recruiters available like I have to try to land more interviews.

Exactly - Networking is also great for doing temp checks for any agency or role that you are interested in/interviewing for as well. For example, whenever I interview (and especially during the phone screening) I like to establish a connection with the recruiter so that I can have them help me look and consider me for other roles within the company, as well as connecting with others on LinkedIn to gauge the company culture and their experiences as black men/women actually working there.

Hello,
Any HR from Accenture who can consider my profile for Qliksense developer (6years experience). I have been trying for this company for more than 2 years now but not even a single interview was scheduled. Worse part is if the profile is already in the system, it doesnot consider it for other jobs. I can see a lot of postings in job site but cannot apply in those.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
