Informal call with Google recruiter tomorrow. Any tips on how best to prepare? Questions to ask? How to make the best use of 15 min? It’s not for any specific position, it’s exploratory but they do recruit for the position I’m interested in.

I would ask specific questions that show you are ready and motivated. How did you get contacted?

Best of luck, they are already interested that is the best starting point! And always say thank you

I was a bit surprised when the google recruiter asked a few probing questions (slightly technical too) regarding the position I was interested in. Just be prepared in case a few general questions are asked

😰 haha okay, I’m looking into non-technical roles so hopefully I get those questions but I’ll prepare anyway

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
