I applied for a job yesterday and got a call from them within the hour! It was a quick, informal chat about my experience. HR wasn't available, so they scheduled an interview for this Monday. It feels a little unusual how fast they contacted me. I checked them out online, and everything seems legit. I'm excited, but it also makes me wonder if there's something I should be aware of. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Wow, that's a quick turnaround! I’ve had that happen before, and it turned out they had an urgent hiring need. Trust your instincts, but definitely keep doing your research and ask plenty of questions on Monday.

I've known of situations like that coming along, if an organization just needs to get someone in place asap. But you're right to be skeptical. There are a lot of scams going on, so be on your guard. Be especially vigilant if they suggest sending you money to buy equipment for the job, that's how the fake check scam begins. Google fake check scam and you'll find a federal government page explaining how it works.

I have had this happen before and it was for a job with the federal government so it was totally legit and I ended up getting the job. I don't think thats a bad thing that they reached out so fast and scheduled an interview because the job market is trash right now.

Hello All,

Recently I was reached out by a recruiter at Meta for ML Engineer role. I have more than 5 years of experience in ML but I am not ready/prepared for an interview at Meta. What should I do? Should I just reject the opportunity or at least give it a try?

If I schedule an interview, can anyone help me with resources which can help me prepare in 15 days or so.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Cont. from Previous Post 3 mos 8 rounds: Thank you for your interest in NR. We appreciate the time you took to apply for the CSM position. We were very fortunate to have a strong group of applicants to consider for this role and have recently filled this position. Unfortunately, because this role is no longer available, we will not be moving forward with your application. We will hold onto your application, and if a position opens that closely matches your skillset, we may contact you.

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.
