Senior Business Development Role at 360Learning:
Anyone have tips for cover letter/resume to stand out?
They are huge on not negotiating salary there based on their blog.
Anyone know the base salary/expected commission? - It requires you to answer on the application. I would be so thrilled to work at the company I just want to put what they start out at.

An exit interview is standard procedure.
If, the company has a history of being receptive, then be constructive and honest in your feedback as it will hopefully result in positive changes for fellow employees that remain.
A good indicator is the anonymous annual employee survey. Is it an exercise in futility? If it never results in true change based on employee grievance and is used solely to check a box that employee feedback is valued, I'd respond to the exit interview invite: respectfully decline. Why waste my time when nothing constructive will come of it?
An exit interview is optional--totally up to you. If you think it will help others you work with to let management know about problems with your manager or other issues, then do it. But be careful not to slander or say things about which you have little or no proof. If you think HR is just going through the motions or that your venting might matters worse in your department, then don't.
Exit interviews are normal if I’m not mistaken. They want to do better in the organization and wants your input on how they could probably do better. My first job, an exit interview was really necessary because all of the analyst in the finance department are dropping left and right and mgt can’t figure out why when there is a good culture. I said minimal feed back, culture is great but there is no 401k match. I feel like it’s a red flag if they don’t give you an exit interview because that’s basically saying they don’t really care about your opinion and that they don’t want to do better as a company.
What are you concerned about? You're leaving anyway. I'm sure it's just to get more context/details on some of your feedback. At least you know they're trying to improve.
This is kind of what I was thinking. Not like there can be negative consequences. I really wouldn't stress about it.
I’m pretty sure they will force you to stay at the company and your new role is out of luck 😂
They just throw in the “is there anything that would change your mind from leaving the company?”
My HR - prior company - told me they mainly do exit interviews, to give the person a chance to vent and lay out grievances. They only did it to hopefully stop you from leaving a bad review online.
Stupid. You can leave as many negative reviews as you want on Glass door.
Honestly you just tell them you have a new opportunity. You don't have to tell them how they are clowns etc etc. If they really cared about that, they'd preventively address it, instead of the token "Corporate America Cares" bs after the fact
Exit interviews are really normal but how honest you are...well, that depends. I would personally try to stay diplomatic
I believe I can be completely transparent and professional. I’m not out to get people fired, but I will make my concerns known
It’s normal and I would just tell them everything and spare no details !

Sometimes people feel that the old boss would tell the new boss to reconsider hiring them or some other anxiety-driven fear. Lol
I already completed a written exit interview, I was mainly confused when HR reached out requesting more information about what I put in the interview. Nothing derogatory, or anything involving theft, just noticed differences between how one set of employees are treated versus another set of employees… and I’m not the only one who has noticed.
I’m not crazy and would never burn a bridge even if I’m severely irritated with a job/company. I actually really love my company, it is probably one of the best employers I have had tbh. But management always seems to be the end reason good people leave, and my location has been a revolving door nearly since I started. Fortunately there was a leader that took the burden and stress of coming into work away… then they left. And that’s when it got noticeably more difficult to do my job effectively.
I’m not the only one with these frustrations. So many things I could say, but I digress.
I was open and honest to Hr, they mainly wanted me to expand and provide examples of what I put in my interview. I wasn’t Rea thinking about it at the time, but I did use trigger words, and they probably wanted to make sure they weren’t getting sued as a result
HR is who is requesting to talk to me.
I would take it as gathering internal data to hopefully take into consideration and change from with in. You’re on the out so bows your chance to be honest with your concerns.
I plan to be very transparent
Exit interviews are completely normal
You don’t need to be completely honest. Be tactful - always good to keep your bridges and options open to boomerang
Unless no bridge was ever built 🥸
This is normal. It’s used as a way to gain further insight and them ask probing questions to understand your experiences
That’s normal. They want an exit interview to figure out where they went “wrong”. “Why didn’t you stay? What are the factors that contributed to you leaving?” are questions they might ask.
Exit interviews are normal. Be transparent, honest but diplomatic. Drive home your points without being unnecessary abrasive. The way most industries have evolved, it gets relatively smaller as you climb up the career ladder and everyone “sort of” knows everyone within the space so you want to leave with a clean slate and no burnt bridges.
I was scheduled one and I simply told them that it does not work with my schedule and gave them my reason for leaving all in that email
They're trying to do their job and make the company better....Unless you've accused someone of defrauding the company or committing a crime I'm which case they're trying to gather evidence and protect the company.
