I am having a very difficult time finding a job. Ive only ever had one job which only lasted a couple of days due to my father having a stroke, ever since then I’ve been his carer and now I need to put myself first now he’s doing better, I’ve applied to quite a few jobs but I think the lack of experience has really affected it!

I did have a job interview but I messed it up, I’m assuming because i was really nervous due to the only interview I had was at 16 years old

Am I not employable?

Hi Phoenix!

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation with your father, and I'm glad to hear he's doing better. I'm sure you're capable of qualifying for that job and many more! But most importantly, remember the importance of soft skills as well. Learn how to sell yourself and build confidence around the skills and abilities you already have. Always maintain your curiosity for new knowledge and never stop learning.

Keep applying, use different approaches and build that confidence little by little. Everyone has to start somewhere :)

Good luck

Thank you!

Hello Phoenix

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
