If you’re at RGA do it at your desk. There’s no one around, and those that are, well they’re not paying attention to you. That’s for sure.

Pretty common. Bring your own laptop if you use your phone number for Skype

What agency peeps are in at 8a? Should be a ghost town at that point. Take the call with the phone room door open.

Nope. Close the door. They have no idea what you’re doing nor do they care.

Hmm it's at 8 am and my Skype laptops at work ... I'll probably do it there somewhere

Video Skype or just audio?

That's what they are for

Fortune favors the bold.

Just make sure the rooms are actually pretty soundproof. I did that at mcgarrybowen and after I finished my call I hung up and could hear every word from the person's call in the room next to me. Woops

Help! When would you disclose a pregnancy during the interview process?

Hi all, I was recently contacted by a headhunter for an incredible opportunity at a great startup.

I've always wanted to work for a startup and the product is awesome. I have made it to the last round. I am also 7 months pregnant (visible) and the last interview will be in person at their headquarters.

Should I say something before coming into the office for the last interview?

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

Trying to switch from proposal/bids to sales. I made it to the last round of interviews for an SDR role and I have to give a presentation on one of their products. I've to introduce myself as part of the presentation: do I need to role-play myself as an SDR or do I introduce myself as who I currently am (= interviewee)?

I’ve applied to 3 program manager roles with google and even though I feel I’m over qualified, I’m not getting any interviews or even a screening call from a recruiter. I got NTD for 2/3 already.

If there is anyone willing to take a look at my resume and give me feedback on gaps they see in my experience that would be leading to this i’d appreciate it! If in fact I’m not the right fit now I would really appreciate knowing what to work on to make myself a stronger candidate in the future!
