Hi all. I have a referral question. Long story short, I waited too long to apply for a SA role. I wanted to pass my PMP first (which I did on Friday) and went to apply to the role yesterday to see that it got taken down. I do have a friend who can refer me but does she have to wait for another posting to come up before she refers me? Or can she do it with an existing posting and I’ll get an internal link that isn’t attached to a specific posting? Did I lose my chance?

She’s working 12 hour days right now so we haven’t been able to connect on this but she has an updated resume and so does her connection (Director) in the office that I’m apply in.

Let me know if you see a similar role at BDO. I can help with the referral

Are there any similar roles open?

There’s one left. This is for Advisory State and Local so not a lot of postings on it. SA, West and SA, Business Analyst got taken down. SA, Researcher is left

Like in most situations, it can't hurt to try. I would apply for whatever job is still available, and include in your cover letter or message to the hiring manager that you're most interested in the other role. Have your friend refer to the role you actually want, and see what happens. Either they'll tell you no and you won't get hired, they'll tell you yes but only for the positions remaining (assuming you're qualified for them), or they'll tell you yes for the position you originally wanted to apply for (if it's still available).

Thank you for the advice! I guess I’ll apply for the research position and see if my friend can refer me to business analyst internally even though it’s not available to the public.

Hi fishes
I was supposed to have my

Even in this rescheduled interview, my interviewer didn't join. This time my recruiter joined and said she'll reschedule my interview.
She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
Please suggest

KPMG 🇨🇦 , looking to get your perspective here: Just saw two roles in the Montreal Office, which I think I’d be a good fit based on my background. However, (i) I don’t speak French (it’s not stated as a requirement but I suppose there’s likely a preference for French speakers (ii) Have never lived in Montreal before and I am wondering if it’ll be worth a move from Toronto and (iii) If I even have a chance to come in at Manager level considering I have no prior consulting experience.
