Website. Usually I pull it up in their conference room monitor with their WiFi, but I’ll bring my laptop as backup.

What website or platform do you use and recommend?

All of the above.

I send my resume with a clickable link because I’ve watched certain interviewers type my url wrong when I’ve clearly spelled it out to them multiple times. Whether you are an AD or Copywriter, please learn how to do this. It will help you and is fairly simple.

I also bring a laptop of my own to show preparedness and in the event I interview in a room that does not have a computer.

Lastly, I make sure there is an updated PDF of my best work on my desktop in the event there are internet connectivity issues at the agency.

You can never be too prepared. It doesn’t hurt either to go into the interview with a decent phone in the event you forgot to charge your laptop and left your charger at home.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The New Yorker released the transcript of a previously unpublished interview with James Baldwin, who gave a first-hand account of "Freedom Day 1963," a Black voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama.

So I finished my 3rd interview with a company and the TA specialist said they loved me but can’t meet me at my bottom line salary, however, I said I can negotiate and she said she’s going to speak with the decision makers and see if they’re okay with that. What does this mean? This is for a marketing specialist role. I’m asking for $70K bottom line

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
