How did a project failure (that had consequences for the client) affect you? How did you feel, and how were you able to move on? I feel like I'm watching all of my hard work go right down the drain...

If you're managing the engagement, speak to your client and see what is salvageable. Get leadership involved for some cover/advice. Put it behind you, reassess for next engagements, and don't make similar mistakes going forward. Red flags are always there, even if not blatantly obvious during the downward spiral.

A senior partner once told me that in over 30 years in consulting, he's had 2 clients follow thru on a program to completion. 😔

He also said that doesn't mean we give up, we just keep coming back with lessons learned and enthusiasm for the next time

Wow, that's sad. I've had several to completion, one taking 2 years. Also had ones that got cancelled which wasn't so good but taught me not to take things to heart so much

I have a partner that calls me multiple times a day to talk about updates on our cases. Sometimes just to ask “anything to update me on?” He’s known across all of the associates for doing this. Most of the calls repeat information I’ve already provided in emails to him or the client. I normally bill this time as “strategize on” or “consider XYZ in further of” and it keeps getting appealed. Any advice?

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
