If you were laid off only a month and a half into a job is it better to leave off that job? My previous company knows of the situation and doesn’t have any problem with me leaving the company as if I’m still employed there. I just don’t see any upside in trying to rationalize to any interviewer on why I was laid off only a month and a half into the job? I appreciate the input.

Yeah you can just leave it off, it's way easier than trying to answer any questions about it. The gap should be small enough that no one would even bring it up, honeslty.

Yeah I think that makes sense. I don't see any problem with that, and I don't think any hiring managers would be upset to find out you left off a job that you were at for less than 2 months.

You never know what might come up in background checks, though. I would not leave off the job. An airtight explanation about the dismissal is all that's needed.

If you leave it off, it doesn't give the interviewer any reason to ask why you were laid off, but if you do include it, it could raise a red flag if the interviewer sees a gap in your employment history.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs?

I'm hesitant to do so - especially since I am not sure if I even want to work for this company yet. Is this standard procedure?

I was interviewed for a major tech player in the hospitality industry, had 2 interviews which for the first one the recruiter was late, and didn't confirm the interview while I emaild her to make sure I do have an interview. When she attended she said that there was no point of responding my email as we are meeting anyway. Later on I had 2nd interview with the hiring manager. After 45 minutes she said they will let me know...
