If you tend to customize your cover letter and resume, here’s a tip that has helped me many, many times. Put a place marker above the sections that you plan to customize and highlight the place marker in a different color! The uglier, the better!

Then, as you make your changes, remove the place markers as you go. The place markers make it easy to find the important sections to customize while the colored highlight makes it easy to see what you’ve got left to do.

Good luck, you've got this!

Hi fishes,

I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
