I had an interviewer ask me what is the client that shops here and what does that woman wnat from the shopping experience. I said will first off it may be a man, some of the clothing and most accessories can be unisex. I don't think that's the answer they wanted but hey it's the truth cause I'm a man who wears makeup and platform heels so I know it's not just women who are buying there

I mean, you are right. They could have been more inclusive in their phrasing. Hopefully they understood what you are trying to say.

What was the outcome of this conversation? Did you get the job? I hope that they were open to the idea that clothes are inherently ungendered and that we apply gender to them so anyone could theoretically want anything.

I think they took it well and I will find out next week if I'm selected for the position🌌

So did you get the job, though? Maybe their target audience is a woman? Who knows?

I will find out this week🌟

While I commend you on your bravery and standing up for what you believe in, I think you just DEI-ed yourself out of a job. People don't want to be enlightened, and they don't care about DEI beyond appearances. They care about their image and the money.

Overall I just brought up more customers that will buy product from their store so if anything it would make them more money and also be great for the image to be inclusive as well as a luxury store imo.

Welp I didn't get either postion and the way they told me was through LinkedIn direct message.... first time I have gotten notice of not getting a job that way, I'd prefer a call or email but oh well

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

What’s the common process for when a client offering you a job at the end of the project? Do you still have to go through interviews and stuffs like a normal application or the client would just send you an offer?
The client asked me to join their team, we talked about the position (no specific comp yet), and they asked for my resume. Just want to know what the common process is like in this situation, TIA.
