If you leave your current company before your promotion officially kicks in but it's been confirmed, can you still say you are at that new level when applying for new jobs?

It won't show up in the background checks officially, but you can always explain

Technically if they do a background check, it would come back as still your current title so will have to explain that if it’s flagged.

No.

The background check will expose that

I’d say you can offer that info, why not? Altho I’m not sure if the internal paperwork is able to be shared so it may just be an honor thing. maybe even position it as “my promotion goes in effect in x months, would it be better to wait until its official?” and see what they say.

Hello fishes,

I recently gave my technical phone screening interview for the role of BA 1 at Amazon it went pretty good was able to answer 90% of the answers but after that I see that my job application shows on their portal shows 'no longer under consideration' although I'm yet to receive any mails from them.

Can anyone tell me what it means have I been rejected or something else.

Thanks everyone

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
