Hi All,
I have been invited to a networking event for a BB IB. I was wondering if anyone can help me out what is generally expected out of the participants? Shall I carry my resume or just get to know the people. Thank you 🙏

1) don’t carry your resume.. I don’t think I’d ever take someone’s resume at networking event
2) drink and carry your drink in your left hand so you can shake peoples hands with your right
3) just talk and be normal, don’t ask stupid market questions or anything about the economy; it’s the last thing I would want to talk about
4) always remain professional, even if I bro down to you. Don’t start using profanity or using weird slang or bro language.
5) have your tell me about yourself down to a good 20-30 second intro. Enough to tell me where you’re from, what you do / did? And where you went to college;
6) try to have high EQ and self awareness of the conversation and then ask for their business card at the end so you can reach out to say thank you later

Typed this in like a minute so apologies if it doesn’t make sense

No resume. Just be personable and try and make connections. Get business cards/contact info and follow up after. Once I got a card I would step away and make notes on the back to use in the follow up. In the follow up ideally try to make some time later for a coffee or call for further conversation.

It’s ok. They are just showing they lack experience and maturity.

Any statements to try and prove otherwise at this point are like having to explain a joke. It was bad and we are laughing at you, not with you.

You can always connect via LinkedIn later so no need to carry a resume. Just be yourself, confident, try to relax and really get to know people. Be a good listener.

Hi all, I have a final round of interview at Meta for a PM position and the HR told me that I would be assigned an existing PM to help me prep better and to ask any questions about the next rounds. Unfortunately she has not assigned anyone yet after multiple follow ups and I have my interview on Monday. Could anyone guide me on what I should do? Should I be raising this during my interview?

Hi Fishes,

Hey Fishes, 
Short Rant: Got a referral for an AWS role, when I got the HR email to complete my candidacy 2 days later I was rejected without any type of phone screening or anything.

Especially when I met more than 90% of the requirements (entry level position) & I work in the field they are looking for. I am so perplexed & feel stupid.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I thought it was very hard for a referral to NOT at least get a screening call. What did (or didn't) I do right.
