I'm graduating in a few weeks, is to weird to send a holiday gift like wine or a Christmas Card along with my resume? I haven't been hearing back from the companies i have been applying to and I'm looking to stand out.

Yes

Yes. That would be awkward if you ask me. It may not be for you but the other end might receive a different kind of message with that gesture. Just don't do it.

Yes. You don't have to send gifts along with resume. It might get interpreted in another way.

It is weird. Don't do that because that would be mooching and is not a good look for you early on. If your workmates in the future would find out you'll be laughed at

It's not a requirement but it is also frowned upon. Just avoid trying to "bribe" your boss with gifts to get accepted.

Yes. You really don't have to send one as people at the receiving end might interpret it negatively. There are better ways you can do to stand out.

Lol no way. Plus it likely wouldnt get to the right person anyway. And that’s assuming they’re in the office.

Job called to schedule an interview and let me think about it. Decided against it due to daily miles and road construction. I also can not get off for the interview. I’m always covering someone. Sadly, I really wanted that job. Good pay, state benefits. Want to call back so bad and see if they could interview me in 2 weeks. 😢

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
