Hi

I am finishing my last semester as a business student at McMaster university. I have 16 months of business analyst experience from my internship at the MTO. I also have 14 months of sales experience and a combine 2.5 years of customer service experience. I can't seem to find an entry level job as I find many companies wanting 5+ years of experience which I think is ridiculous for an entry level job. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on getting an entry level job.

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for

Is it really that important ?

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Returned from maternity leave, I was offered a Revenue Operations Project Manager. I was given a 4% raise (next to nothing), I was asked to sign the paperwork upon my return which was strange. On day 1, got to know almost 4% raise was given to the entire company as compensation adjustment due to inflammation. The manager left the company within 4 days of my joining and now I’m stuck with the sad pay and a hefty job. Not sure what I should be doing?

Feeling frustrated. Accepted a new position a few months ago. Due to company guidelines I only received a small increase. There was no negotiating. I am now Realizing that my direct reports are making considerably more than me. (20-30% more). Curious as to strategies others have used in discussions with their leadership to address similar pay issues without ruining the relationship with leadership
