I got laid off from my job in the middle of the recruitment process and just got an offer. Do I disclose to HR that I was laid off 2 weeks ago to avoid potential questions during an employment verification?

Got laid off due to COVID and have been struggling to find a job. I wasn’t happy and my mgmt sucked so this is a good thing. Now I really hate the idea of working for a company. I know everyone works and I’m not a genius who can just start a scalable biz. But I just can’t get my head around the idea of doing something I hate for a paycheck. All these years of busy seasons burnt me out. Struggling in between doing something I enjoy for less pay and taxes for more pay.

So I boomeranged back to PwC after 2 years away and 2 layoffs. I took a role that I knew would be a soft landing and allow me to rebuild confidence even if it wasn’t my long term ambition. Successfully rebuilt confidence and was promoted to SM within a year. But now I’m not being challenged and have that ‘grass is greener’ feeling. I feel like a hard internal pivot is going to piss people off as much as if I left to a competitor. How do I play this ?

Have I just had bad luck with the companies I've been at or is it like this everywhere? I've had 7 managers in my 4 years of experience, 3 in one year at my first position (which is why I left) and now 4 at the 2nd company in 3 years. There has been a mix of people leaving and people getting fired but the instability feels extreme.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Any job cuts, furloughs, or paycuts at Cincinnati firms ?

I just got laid off an hour or so and I'm kind of feeling relieved about it. For other lay-off-ees, what were the next few months like for you? Is relief ok to feel in this climate?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Got word that my dept will be laid off. Currently work Case Management which I don't really enjoy. Looking for a career change, WFH preferably. Any leads?

Hello Fishbowlers,

I was laid off at my company a couple of months ago and I could really use some referrals. I work in the Customer Success Space and recently built out the Customer Success Division. Would love a referral for a management role or at least Senior or Principal in the startup space. I've worked in startups for the last 5-6 years. I'm really feeling defeated within the job market. Message me if you have any leads. Thanks in advance!

Does kpmg provide work from home permanently?

I had an interview “chat” with an hr manager Monday - went really well.I followed up with a letter going through the highlights of what they were looking for. I got a request at 3pm on Friday to arrange another “chat” next week. Thoughts ? This is my first time interviewing over the phone for a chat ..

Company (nonprofit) I am interviewing with is hosting an Open House event this weekend. I completed the interview process and was told I would hear back “in a couple weeks - after open enrollment”. I sent a Thank You email after the last interview and another email this morning, inquiring about benefits but did not receive a response.

Would it be a good idea to attend the Open House?

I need some interview tips, I have a virtual interview for another HR Manager position at a much larger company, in the email it said to dress for the position you are interviewing for. At my current company we are very casual Friday all week long as we are in the Non-Profit Arts Entertainment industry. Any suggestions would be appropriated.

Is it a red flag to not use your current employer as a reference or would this not be noticed? I have other references I want to use who I think can better attest to my skills for the job but don’t want it to raise any questions.

I applied for a job based on the job description and now have an interview with the Recruiter in the next couple of days. In preparation for the interview I did some research and have serious concerns about the company. E.g., most of the most recent Glassdoor reviews describe the company as a "sinking ship" with poor benefits and poor leadership.

How would you approach this situation? Would you mention the bad reviews to the recruiter? Cancel? Continue and see what happens?

I am on my 3rd and final round interview next week for a job I am very excited about. I am interviewing for a procurement manger job and will be meeting with their regional finance manager.

Hello all! I have an interview tomorrow and the recruiter said I don’t need to have my video on if I don’t want to.. please what’s your advice ?

Has anyone done a Talent Card presentation during their interview at Cisco? Just looking for some tips.

Have you ever been hired at a company and immediately realized it wasn’t what they portrayed it to be, and immediately moved onto another job? Is this common? Wondering how many people skip companies after very little time bc true colors come out?

Is it’s okay to start interviewing with company’s even though you don’t plan on leaving your job for another year or so?

I don't interview well. I have a resume that gets me noticed and I get interviews, but I get a lot of rejections from those interviews. What can I do to stand out in my interviews?

Have you done a background check on yourself? Why/what error or issue did you find?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Apart from research/reviewing questions and answers or going through an interview process. Anyone know if theres a service for help interviewing? I have ideas of what I want to pivot to career wise but I have not interviewed in so long that I’m out of the loop. Thx for your time.
