Context is everything. Do you know a lot about it? Go for it. Don’t know a lot? probably don’t as they may then press you more on it and they’ll see how much you don’t have a grasp of it.

Don’t get too technical unless you’re willing to fully go down that road for at least another 5-10 minutes

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot. But then suddenly after the last interview, I haven’t heard in a week from them even after multiple follow ups. Recruiter said she will reach out on Monday, but even Tuesday passed now. Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

I got an offer from firm 1 before the memorial holiday and have been stalling because I am waiting for an offer from firm 2..
I was working with a partner from firm 2 who got me an interview with the managing partner.. I got a verbal offer last week.. the staff told me they are processing the paperwork.
Should I still wait for firm 2? I feel like I can’t stall anymore.. I feel like I really should give firm 1 a response this week 😮‍💨 but I don’t want to lose both offers

I have been doing freelance/independent contract graphic design for 3 years, and I’m looking to take a position as FTE now.

There are a few smaller agencies in my city that I specifically adore and i’ve reached out/applied to open roles etc. One of them I even have a friend at, she has told me they are dying for more designers right now, but also so busy they struggle to make time for the hiring process.

Does anyone have tips on how to get past this sort of wall?

I became a mom and four months down, head of new business (guy) in my company and the HR (lady) interviewed me for an exec leadership role. Obviously I was excited for the interview but…. the interview went well with the guy and I felt the role was made for me. However, the lady kept bringing back the topic that ‘I am a mom and need to focus on my family’ again and again and again. Honestly it was unnerving. The feedback I received from HR (lady) was we felt you won’t be able <cont. in comments>

Had an interview for SM role at ACN 3 weeks back but haven’t heard back. This was skills round interview after HR round. Am I still in the game or it’s a no? Don’t want to followup with HR just yet.

Last week I've completed a very long (7 round ) interview process. It's been 5 days since then, I am waiting for final decision

After a follow-up yesterday, I got the below message

"Apologies for the delay, due to some critical meetings, we couldn't re-group internally. I will setup a check in with you on Monday. Hope that's okay"

I'm still not clear if the decision is positive or not

Anyone work at PwC that can help refer and potentially share some resume/application tips? There's a strategy manager position open I am interested in applying for, but I've applied for PwC many times over the years and have NEVER gotten even a first round interview.

Hi, I'm currently with TCS. I have given technical interview with Infosys on 9th October and the very next day I got a mail to send documents. Since then I didn't receive any reply from them. How long does the process really take for one to get a call for HR discussion. It's been almost 10 days now. Similar situation happened with Accenture recently, they put me on hold for long and suddenly turned down the offer after HR discussion for which I'm really concerned now.

I am looking for recommendations for an experienced and reputable career coach (US based) who specializes in the Executive Assistant / Chief of Staff profession that will be able to help me update my resume, practice interviewing, and narrow down potential positions for me to apply to.
