I see. I have applied to other firms including midsized as well. For some reason, I get interviews but it seems my experience doesn’t appeal to people who I have interviewed with. I am a bit unsure of how to make myself more desirable doing just in house legal work.

I had two recruiters today reschedule a meeting. And this is the second time rescheduling. Honesty, not sure what value recruiters bring. Is this common now?

Sorry for the vent. Maybe it’s just my bad luck then.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer.

Would I still have chance to be offered?

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

I got a offer from HCL.

I have given joining date of my previous company with a difference of 1 week and submitted joining form.

Will there be any issue in BGV.

I am worried about it.

Can anyone please suggest what I can do at this point.

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
