I am interviewing for an agency and they haven't extended any offers but want me to provide them with all sorts of documents. Is this sus or am I just overtly wary?

Yes, very sus. It could just be a process that they go through with all candidates, but a very odd one.

It's common if you don't meet the agency's profile, they ask for certain inputs to see if you can do the job as they want.

It has happened to me many times that they ask me for proof of my ability as a writer, I do the articles and all kinds of tests that are usually not paid, and then I don't receive any more messages from the employer, for me it is always a scam.

This type of employment system is common in agencies, it is the best way to test professionals.

What kind of documents are we talking about here? Work samples?

It's not entirely uncommon for employers to ask for some examples of your work. What specifically is making you feel sus about this?

Sometimes you just gotta trust your gut with these things. If you don't get a good vibe from this agency you can always look for a job somewhere lse

Depends on what kind of documents. Don't hesitate to trust your gut if something feels off.

B4 Accountant posted they are interviewing for Goldman Sachs.. someone asks if they are POC. This is exactly why I, as a Black man will always feel like my success and hard work will always be attributed to my color and not merit. We just can’t win. 😔

Before you comment, please understand that this a real issue a lot of us face now. Tbh it’s become an insecurity of mine. We are just as good and just as worthy and we don’t get where we are because of the color of our skin!

This job market is insane right now.

Now, with all of these layoffs... employers have the upper hand, and it's super competitive to land the job.

I work full time as a senior manager (L7) at Amazon. I've passed one the hardest interview that Amazon has to be a part of the executive team.

I started coaching on the side and really fell in love with it. I've helped a ton of people land their dream job!

If you need a career coach or help with prepping for your next interview. DM me or comment!

The interview happened last month first week and documentation process also completed. They have given a verbal offer, but no offer letter as there are still doing some audit and compliance on the earlier employments. They have yet not reverted. What should be done in this scenario. Is this a normal thing in Accenture where they take an inconsiderable amount of time for small things too

When you have those tasks that seem never-ending, maybe even repetitive, possibly a multi-day effort (or any other long periodic timeframe), set an "acceptable-for-you" limit where you would feel accomplished when you reach it.

Then, determine your energy levels and decide if you can/want to do more or call it a day.

Example: Setting a limit to how much daily progress you want to make towards a 10-15 page final deliverable for your client.
