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.

Salary check. I am currently an in house attorney. 12 YOE. Large company with great coworkers doing regulatory work for the insurance industry. Good work life balance. I live in a high COL city. Out of curiosity and to test the market, I interviewed at a FAANG. Did not get the job, but found out TC was 350k, significantly higher than my TC 230k. I thought I was compensated fairly, but would love to see your thoughts.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
