Unfortunately this is the rule rather than the exception... I’ve just completed a 6 month job search and interviewed at 8 places... only two gave me the courtesy of a follow up... it told me a lot about the kind of companies they were

This is proof that everyone is just thinking about themselves, and that includes everyone at the agency where you interviewed. Theyre not thinking of your day.

Of course they should let you know either way, of course ghosting sucks, of course its just professional courtesy. But you cant really expect them to think about it in terms of your day.

Actually, you can expect them to consider your day. It’s called common courtesy and professionalism and compassion. Consideration for other human beings is the literal minimum I expect in a potential job.

Hi all! I got rejected from JPMorgan for their Global Finance and Business Management program (through my resume, couldn’t make it to interview).

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

Hello, everyone!

I have an interview for a relatively new law firm early next week. However, upon doing more research about them, I noticed that their website has only a black-and-white website about only what the law firm is about.

My questions are:

How do you guys prepare for interviews specifically with law firms that have little to some information on their website and Glassdoor?

Thank you so much in advance!
