I mostly get calls from my naukri profile, brands I've worked with in past gives me an edge in ranking my profile to the top and also curating naukri profile is necessary so that you get relevant and decent calls.

Also I ask for references over LinkedIn.

In your case mentioning Amazon in your naukri will give you tons of calls.

I start by looking at job listings on LinkedIn. I'll save ones that I'm interested in and then use my free time to go through and fill out the application for each one. I have a standard cover letter put together that I can tweak slightly to fit the specific position/company and an updated resume ready to go.

LinkedIn is my first stop. I also keep a spreadsheet of companies I like and go through internal postings and apply. I always do a CV scan before applying to make sure it's relevant and tweak as needed for different types of jobs

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

My wife works at a school with kids with behavioral issues. The kids are abusive to the teachers/paras and have hit, kicked, pulled hair, as well as have grabbed the privates of teachers/paras. Nothing is ever done about it by higher up. Recently, the principal got kicked in the leg, and it turns out that the superintendent is “pressing charges” against the kid, but won’t do anything for the teachers/paras. What actions can my wife and the teachers take if the superintendent won't do anything?
