Interviewers always ask about availability, especially nights and weekends. I want to be honest but worry it hurts my chances. Is it better to be upfront or say yes and renegotiate later?

I would just ask for clarification. Will it be a night and weekend once in a while or consistently? You are setting yourself up for failure to agree and then try to change it later. They are looking for specific schedules, and it’s not easy to change that.

Yeah you’re right with that one. Think I’d rather just be upfront!

Agreed with Nordstrom. Don't waste their time or yours. What's the point in getting an offer based on inaccurate availability? They're going to be ticked and probably rescind it if you can't work when you say you could. Better to be honest up front and hope that they're impressed enough by you to want to try to work around your schedule.

Definitely, think honesty is the best policy with this one!

Be upfront because if they don’t have the availability you need or vice versa, it’s not gonna work even if they love you

Yeah don’t wanna waste my
Time or there’s!

Are there any recruiters who are currently actively looking to fill roles within start-up like companies?

Additionally, I’m also looking to connect with recruiters who are looking to fulfill account/compliance roles in general. Okay please reach out if you can help me get visibility with your clients. Thank you!

Hey, so I was offered a CDP position as an analyst in Accenture starting this fall, but today I just found out I got the Fulbright scholarship to be an ETA in Thailand for a year. It’s an honor of course, and I’m thinking about asking my recruiter if I could delay my Accenture start date for a year. Would it be worth it to do so? Is it even possible?

Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in
Globant?
Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
Will it be of any benefit to me if work in voluntary project? Will HR recognize this project contribution as valid work?
