Hi,

Given how competitive the market is, I've been trying to make sure I contact someone at the companies I'm applying to (a recruiter, a mutual, an alum from my school...etc). I was wondering though, if it's better to contact them BEFORE applying (in case they have a referral site/ more direct way to get my app to the recruiter)... OR is it better to apply first to express my interest and reach out AFTER? Curious to hear what you all think!

Thanks!!

I just applied for a Delta flight attendant role and my page glitched right in the middle of my application and now it says I’ve applied even though I didn’t finish answering questions. Has anyone else had this happen? So scared it has completely ruined my chances.

What are your thoughts on personalized resume writing services? I’m considering hiring one of these to stand out in the search of a new job.
My resume looks good (1 page, bullet points on achievements, direct language, etc), but I feel I’m not getting as many interviews as my experience would enable.

Anyone find yourself moving roles more often than 2 years internally thanks to reorg ? How do you explain this in interviews ?

How long did it take to move jobs? I’ve only been at one company for too long and desperate to leave but past 6 months of job searching has been dreadful. I’ve been applying every job I see on linked in but not getting anything back or not making after round 1 or 2. Appreciate tips on landing on interviews.

Recruiter call went well. First round phone interview at Google on Monday. Besides obvious prep, any pointers? (Business, non-engineer role)

I was interviewed for a job before the posting’s closing date. I followed up immediately afterwards, but should I reach out again now that the deadline for applications has passed?

New to FishBowl but hoping to get some advice/make some connections on here. I have an MHA and 6 YOE post grad-school in hospital operations and leadership. I'm currently a Service Line Director looking to make a transition away from hospital operations into consulting/strategy/etc.

I’ve applied to a number of positions at Optum/PwC/CVS etc but can’t seem to get an interview. I’m revamping my resume but are there other things I can be doing to at least get an initial interview? Any advice?

Resume advise: Curious if having multiple companies and moving around on my resume shows ‘disloyalty’ or does it show a wide range of experience? It’s been difficult to get any interviews.

My experience:
3yrs—Oil & gas manufacturing (Texas)
3yrs—Consumer goods startup (moved to NYC)
4yrs—Consume goods manufacturing (working in Asia)

Really trying to make a career switch and get into recruiting/executive search. I have 10+YOE in the higher Ed space pertaining to business development. Any insight or feedback? I’ve been lucky enough to go pretty far in the interviews that I’ve had but never seem to be able to close the deal and get the offer.
Any advice?! What am I missing?

Hi Folks, after selecting in LTI, how many days it takes to send you the offer letter ? Because HR told me I will receive it by 2 days but 1 weeks gone but still not get. When I ask HR, she tells me like “I am waiting for the management approval, try to send it by tonight”. Any help any idea ?

My stress level is bad due to working for incompetent people. One partner would send me work with garbage instructions or for things that are completely out of my expertise, and when I ask for guidance they turn around and ask another attorney to explain to me. What the heck - why would you give me work if you don’t even know how to do the work or what you’re looking for? How do these people make partners?

How have other firms dealt with employees testing positive for COVID after reopening? I work at an Am Law 200 that reopened in June and has required all employees across all offices to start coming back in to work every day since then. We got notified that an employee in my office received a positive diagnosis but the office isn’t planning to close and doesn’t think contact tracing is necessary though the person likely still came into work every day last week while waiting for their test result.

Fight the system. Start sending “No comments” instead of a bunch of meaningless drivel to make it look like you did something.

If I’m applying for new jobs less than a month after starting one (role dramatically different than represented in interview process) should I be leaving current job section of applications blank? I didn’t put it on my resume because I haven’t done anything yet, but will be open in interviews if asked and also have the current job on social media.

Have anyone done contracting negotiations before? I've interviewed for co A & B and co A extended an offer today. The offer does not meet my current salary. Co B's interview structure is 3 rounds and I've finished my 2nd round today. The recruiter mentioned that since I am a contractor my current salary is incomparable as they will provide benefits, etc. Is this true? I have 2 yrs of contracting HR exp from fortunate 500 co’s & OMW to get my SHRM-CP. Appreciate your advice in advance.

Did I just open myself up to a lawsuit for employee poaching? A former colleague of mine (I was their mentor & project lead, not her boss) has been wanting to leave since around the time I left. In conversations as friends I’ve told them about my job and how I miss working with them and that no matter where they went next I’d be a reference and stay a mentor. I said things like the minute I can hire someone, you’ll be my first call… (continued in comments)
