Following as I’m having the same issue. I’m on the PR/acct management side but open to in house or agency. Get to final two or three and keep losing to another candidate. Very difficult to get feedback from recruiters or HR.

I’m only getting called in for 5-10% of what I apply for (admittedly mostly cold applications via LinkedIn etc), and I don’t seem to be hitting the mark during interviews. Often getting down the road to the 3rd interview and then losing out. I need someone to help me troubleshoot what’s going on and overcome whatever it is. As a side note I’m looking to pivot from agency to brand side, if that matters.

It was very specific to the interview style this company uses. It’s extremely rigid, you must answer questions in a particular method and illustrate your answer with an example. Apparently I didn’t meet the criteria for one person (of 15) so I was invited back for a do over with someone else bc they felt the original interviewer was not relevant to the job and we wouldn’t actually be working together. This is part of their problem: Interviewer was a warm body who knew nothing about my role, asked stock questions looking for answers in a specific methodology, but whether the content was practical or useful to a real life challenge was almost irrelevant. Welcome to hiring by committee. 15 rounds of interviews.🙄 nothing more that I can share here feedback wise that would be helpful for anyone else since it was so specific. But it was a learning process for sure.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
