Hi all, does anyone know of any recruiters or hiring managers that work in Affirm Inc. I've been applying for a couple of jobs with them . The role I have applied for I know lam a extraordinary fit for
100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.

Listings don’t always mean job openings. With all the ghost jobs I’ve run into lately, that is becoming apparent. It’s hard to say, too, how one location varies from the next. There could be an overall decrease, but one area isn’t following that trend.
I’ve been wondering if the staffing agency is giving me a run-around, since they get commission for placing people. So, I think, how do they have nothing every week? And are other temp workers of theirs being told the same, regardless of what types of jobs they want? I encountered this weekly pattern years ago with multiple agencies saying they don’t have anything. My skills include Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access Database, Outlook), typing 50 wpm, organization, written and verbal communication, creating various business files. I can put together tri-fold brochures, business plans, marketing plans, press releases, use Adobe InDesign for publication layout. I taught myself WordPress for blogging and can quickly learn new skills (for instance, I had to use a Penn Dot app on an iPad for a recent job and I didn’t need a lot of help with the app). It’s just strange for an agency or multiple agencies to state they have nothing on a weekly basis, as my skills aren’t uncommon.
I went to a temp agency, I do clerical work as well, and the director told me that the job market is slow. That it is hard to get a job. I been looking for 5 months for a clerical job and it hasn't been success. I see all these admin assist positions posted. I went on an admin assist position a few months ago. The manager wanted me to do sales also besides the clerical duties. The sales description wasn't even in the job description. Now a days, the employers want you to do everyone's job plus your own job. I am not trained in sales, that is a sales representative's job. Then she tried to compete with me in the interview, it was bizarre
We are fazed out. A.I. is everything now. Little do they know your worth with clients.
