I had a quick/successful phone screener with HR, was then told they’re “moving forward with a candidate engaged earlier in the process,” only to see the job freshly reposted on LinkedIn like 12 hours later. I’m not that hurt by it, but it’s been boggling me for days—why lie?? What is this market??

Pay no attention to when LinkedIn refreshes postings. For most large companies that pay for LinkedIn job postings, LinkedIn sweeps their careers page daily and jobs are refreshed automatically, that’s not something recruiters control. It doesn’t matter where they are in the process, if the job is still posted on their careers page, LinkedIn will refresh it. Jobs usually aren’t closed until background checks are cleared, so it’s very possible that LinkedIn refreshed a job that has an offer extended.

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d
