I’m recently back in the job market after a long stint at my last company that underwent rounds of RIF. Things are now very different, huge numbers of applications and ATS screening…being assessed for fit feels so gamed, impersonal, non contextual. That some companies actually encourage applying even if you don’t have every qualification…huh? ATS likely won’t let you through to the human review round? After submitting a resume and cover letter, what’s the typical response time?

The hardest part about being in the job market is not knowing what to listen to. Everyone has different advice that sometimes are even contradictory whether that be on how ATS actually works, how to format your resume, etc. Every thing feels so subjective and up in the air now and I'm with you in feeling lost. Wishing the best for you on your job search journey

I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
