I have my exit interview tomorrow. Any tips? Have any of you written down what you wanted to say? I’m leaving advertising and moving so I’ll probably never see these people again.

Burn it to the ground, emotionally and metaphorically

Exit interviews are a sham. Most folks feel it’s not in their best interest to b candid, so the conversation has no value. And those who can b candid, like u, are often ignored.

Any worthwhile process should have an upside for all parties involved. What’s your upside for participating in an exit interview? What could u possibly get out of it? The answer is nothing.

Therefore, I recommend u handle it like everyone else does: make polite empty noises for 15 minutes, then GTFO.

keep it neutral & get out of there. Leave in a way that someone might recommend u for job reference.

Just sign the papers, nod and smile. Nobody cares. And even if they did somehow care the HR peeps are powerless.

You’re leaving. It’s easy to remember all the negatives. Spend some time thinking about the positives before your interview so you can recall those too.

My best advice is to give the exit interview as if you’d possibly work for this company again someday. What changes could they make that would bring you back?

Maybe you won’t work there again, but it’s quite possibly you’ll encounter colleagues again. Basically, be careful about burning bridges

I’d keep it pretty positive. If you have constructive criticism I think it’s fine to let them know. But as others have said, try not to burn any bridges with anyone. You never know where you might meet them again. ✌️

Be polite. Say you have no feedback. Loved you’d time there, just had an opportunity you couldn’t turn down. Giving negative feedback can’t help you now, it can only be misinterpreted and hurt your reputation.

I recently did an exit Interview. Think about the person who will come after you in the role you are leaving and those who still work there, what could you say that would do right by those people.

I was offered a part time Internal Audit Sox Lead role for $70/hour. It’s a remote role, perm with benefits and I’m very excited for it. They offered me the exact amount that I asked for, and now I’m wondering if I did not ask for enough. I’ve never had a company offer me exactly what I asked for. Thoughts? Have I short changed myself?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
