Hello I got a confirmation from HR at Shell that I have been selected for a role and there will be background checks before joining the company. He said the mail will come from a 3rd party vendor for the background verification. It has been 1 week and there has been no mails till now. Is it normal? Should I follow up with the HR again?
Cushman & Wakefield Interested in a Sales Associate position at Cushman & Wakefield. I have experience as a government analyst for 7 years but nothing related to commercial real estate. I want to become a more competitive applicant but not sure where to start. Are there any certificates, skills, or knowledge that I should be learning in my free time?

It’s gonna happen SS1. But remember a few things as you try to jump from this sinking ship:
1. Don’t jump out the frying pan into the fire. Research who you’re applying to BEFORE hitting send resume.
2. Work the room. Talk to your network first. For jobs, yes, but also for some potential connections into what the culture is like where they work.
3. Speaking of— where do you want to go next? What do you want it to be like? Dog friendly? In another city? With a popcorn machine? It will give you some idea as you look.
4. Find your information outlets. Read up on agencies/places to work DAILY. They’ll tell you who landed what account, who hired new leadership, etc— you can use that as a way to break the ice.
5. Don’t come to work drunk.
Best of luck!
