Hi,

Often in public sector here, many positions are announced 'internally' which means, employers are actually trying to promote or offer permanent contracts to employees already working there. How to ask politely if the vacancy announced is of such nature? I have an eye on a position, but i have doubts if it is a dummy vacancy or a real vacancy. I don't want to waste time on it if they really dont need a person.

No chance whatsoever they will tell you unless you personally know someone in. They can be sued if a candidate proves the interview process is biased/unfair. You will just have to go through the interview process for that 0.001% chance to land the job.

Luckily enough is the position is already assigned chances are you won't even get interviewed and you will just waste the time needed for the application.

You are right. Pushing them after some interview makes sense, instead of asking now (they are still at the stage of collecting applications).

There is some time between accepting the current offer and joining it. I most likely will receive an answer for this position before joining the current offer I have in hand. I hope I don't have to burn bridges. I work on a very nice topic. It's a very small community in Norway and all my potential employers are pretty well connected to each other!

But thanks, for the wise advice :)

Okay — diets & weight loss. What have you seen that actually works? I exercise almost daily but realize my portions and food intake aren’t perfect. I do not want to track cals or macros as that caused me to have an eating disorder. I have an OCD personality.

After decades of system iterations can someone please answer me the question of why I have to build the same general customer master data report because SAP refuses to have a standard transaction for it?!? Just me venting, carry on :)

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:

Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students. They know or have the skills for how to read (for the most part) but seem not to be able to comprehend what they are reading due to the fact that they don't have background knowledge like their upper-class peers - which is due to life experiences. Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.
