If I don’t have a referral at a company and can’t secure one in time before I want to apply to a role, is the next best thing asking people at the company to point me to the right recruiter or hiring manager or somehow finding it out myself, and then directly emailing at least one of them (ideally both)? Has anyone had success getting interviews that way? I feel like some but not many people are actually directly emailing the recruiters or hiring managers

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

I put in my two weeks a while ago and this Friday is my last day. No one has reached out to me about coordinating equipment return (I’m remote rn) or off boarding me. I’ve literally received no communication after sending my manager my notice. We had a chat and he wished me well but didn’t initiate anything. My HRBP is no where to be seen either - I think they quit as well. What do I do and is there any chance I can keep my work phone - it’s better than my personal
