I was wondering, when you apply to some place, how long does it usually take to actually hear anything? I just put in my application this past Wednesday.

I only hear back from 30% of my applications (I send about 25-30 a week) and 29.5% of those are automated rejection emails, the remaining 0.5% is an interview request.

There's really no way to tell. Some companies will stop taking applications quickly and get busy contacting people they want to interview. Other companies will really take their time. In a lot of cases companies don't even send out rejections, they only contact the likely candidates. So in a lot of cases people just get ghosted and never hear a word.

I haven't been hearing anything for about three weeks on average. Sometimes I hear the next day, sometimes I don't hear for several months. But I would say three weeks is becoming the new normal based on all the records I've been keeping.

I just told my dad today where I applied to and he said, “I would’ve heard something by now. I’m so frustrated at him! He told me that he put in money for me in a brokerage account and how he’d like that back. They all want me to work at Publix and I don’t want to work at Publix when I worked for him making way more what Publix can give!😢

I’ve applied for positions back in November/december, maybe even farther back and still have not heard anything back other than the confirmation email that I applied. So, that’s how life is…

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.
