KPMG gave great advice. My last role (nearly a year ago) did come from applying on a LinkedIn job posting but I simply didn't have many referrals for roles I was interested in back then. I didn't do the mass add process that KPMG mentioned so definitely something worth trying. I applied to hundreds of posting, heard back from dozens, interviewed at a handful, turned down a few, and accepted the only one I genuinely felt was right.

That referral connection is the hack for the current landscape. Most companies are filtering apps like crazy so it's super competitive.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
