I’ve been applying for legal administrative work but have not been successful in landing any interviews. I’m a postgraduate with an MSc in sociology but am transitioning to the legal field and have the courses to showcase ongoing commitment to the legal profession. I also have 9+ years in administrative areas. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with my CV and would appreciate any advice. As a legal recruiter for legal administration/ security/ assistant roles what do you look for? (London based).

I’m a SaaS AE with 4 years of sales and sales recruiting experience. I’m revamping my resume and sadly due to 2 startup layoffs in the last 15 months I’ve had 3 roles.

How many job experiences on your resume is too many? How far back should I go to share my professional experience?

Any advice is appreciated!

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

Did anyone exit to nonprofit? Thinking I may like it since I like government work... also how did you go about that transition?

I have recently started working as a BA at a startup company in the e-commerce domain where I'm one of the only two BAs in the organization.. Prior to this job, I have worked as a RPA Developer for 6 months and a Game Tester for 3 years.

What would be an ideal duration to start looking for a switch? There are two reasons behind this -
1. I wish to work at a MNC since it would provide me exposure to bigger projects.
2. Salary is currently below market level.

Appreciate any feedback!

Hello Everyone
Need to vent for a minute. I am a middle school librarian. I service 5-8 grade students. My library ran smooth as ice cream this past year. I made my own classes and times students were allowed to check in out books. I serviced a grade a day and on Fridays everyone was allowed to come get books. We have new administration and this year I have class periods and one planning period like a regular teacher. I have 27 students in each class. " Ridiculous." Has your library changed?

Thanks!

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?

Does it mean anything specifically when a company/firm reposts their position? I went on a phone screen and it went really well (so I thought) and got the interview with a AmLaw200 firm. I thought the interview went okay but then 8 days later no contact and I saw that they reposted the position. I’ve had my position for almost 8 months and I’m ready to leave but that’s another story.

So is it better to use a recruiter when you have a specific goal or if you're just feeling out what opportunities are on Deck
