I have a informational interview with someone in the team that I recently applied for a role on. They know I applied as well. How can I ask for their support on my app or like helping me move up in the process? Need a proper way to ask without sounding so blunt?

We have a big deadline on Monday morning. The new hire said he won't be available during the weekend due to some personal/family commitments. Any thoughts? How should I manage this situation?

I don’t have friends that can view it for me either.

How long did it take you to lose interest in your job?

My fellow connoisseurs, I'm going through some things right now and not doing so hot. That's as much as I'd like to say right now. If you pray, I'd ask that you pray for me to have the strength to get through what I'm going through. I'd appreciate it. I don't want my drinks to end.

PwC 🐠: Be careful trying to switch competencies. A colleague of mine tried to move and got laid off in the process. Make sure you have the Partners approval first. (On the receiving end)

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

Keep seeing sales rep and AE roles for various consulting firms (Deloitte / KPMG / Accn). What exactly are you doing in this position? Cold calling and selling project and firm offerings to various clients? Working with partners to generate leads?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
