💭 How/when do you disclose that you were let go from your last job in an interview?

My advice is don't disclose that information. They cant ask your previous employer that specific question and you don't have to disclose it.

If they ask. I was made redundant and mention it on my application forms. I've had a few interviews now and it crops up when they ask when I'd be available to start.

I wouldn’t even say anything unless they asked

You should do this way before any interview process. It’s best because if they need to contact that employer before hand, that leaves room for them to decide if your reason for leaving was legitimate or something that they’re willing to accept in the future after considering you for work. Good luck!

I attended an interview and did assignment for Multimedia designer role 15 days ago fo BMC team at EY GDS, still not heard back, interview was positive and assignment is also good. HR's don't reply to email and don't pick calls, should I keep hope or forgot it? I'm just asking for feedback because I have put 6 hours hard work in to assignment.

Has anyone done the virtual job tryout for Capital One? Basically a personality assessment. I am in the beginning stages of interview process.

Specifically because it asks if you are competitive, willing to stop what you are doing to help others or prioritize your own work.

Hello Guys,

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??
