I used a referral to apply to some financial analyst roles. I like how recruiters are willing to personally decline you which opens a dialogue on criticism. I was given resources on improving resumes and interview skills. It seems my resume is in good shape according to the recruiter but I can’t seem to land an interview. Is there anything else left besides a referral and a good resume to get through? I feel like being from the east coast applying to west coast roles is a factor

Normally if a referral gets rejected without a phone interview, either the resume doesn’t have the required skills and experience on the JD, or it didn’t meet some criteria the recruiter or hiring manager has, or there are too many strong candidate in the pipeline. The first one should not be too hard to tell. PM me if you want me to take a look at your resume and the JD.

Location doesn’t matter. They relocate people all the time. Especially right now with WFH until September minimum.

Honestly, so many people apply that you might just not be at the top in terms of experience that fit the current job openings. Or there may be internal transfers first. There’s a million reasons why, like with any job.
The referral is always your best bet.

Experience could be what is stopping you. You may not have the experience that google is looking for.

The only real way to figure that out is by talking to people at google (not the recruiter) in similar roles

G3 are you still willing to take a look at resume?

Hi fishes ,

I received an offer for senior manager position in PWC .

Can you please let me know about the health insurance coverage amount ( senior manager position ) as it is not mentioned in offer letter.

I'll be applying for a Service Desk manager position in the coming months. I'm looking to get a realistic salary range (online ranges vary drastically). I have 7 years experience in IT end user support. 4 years of these 7 years include having direct reporting employees in a supervisory role.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Hello Guys,

I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.
