it happens when i first started out getting into IT. There were a lot of young recruiters with 0 empathy or understanding.

Why it's important to have workers who actually care about what they do. Especially in the field of recruitment or HR.

No way. What happened???

Oh man, what did they ask you?

I am currently an insurance agent, but I have experience in IT. I am trying to pivot into tech sales. The whole time the recruiter was asking why I left IT and why I didn't want to stay in IT. I gave her a valid reason, but it was sufficient for her.

Yes, i agree. I have interviewed for the past 2 weeks and i have never had this experience. I felt like she had no interest in hearing me out.

Interrogated? OK. That's one approach....I mean I get it. You have to get to the bottom of gaps and career changes. But there is definitely a certain way to approach it so it doesn't feel like interrogation or hostile.

Yes.. and i answer them but we kept circling back.. different strokes for different folk i guess

They probably ran out of questions and were just killing time lol

What's up with recruiters these days. Are these posts from the same recruiting company? This is the second post I read about how bad recruiters are today.

What are they even doing if they're straight-up harassing the prospects? Gosh. Wish companies did something about bad recruiters

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

**I'm not in Chicago

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
