I’ve been laid off and I’m trying to find a new role but the ghosting from Recruiters is REALLY getting to me. Someone will reach out to me, ask if I’m interested in a role and then NOT respond to me when I say I AM interested. Worse yet, when you’ve gone a couple rounds of interviews and ask about next steps and hear crickets. I know how it feels when you reach out to someone and hear nothing back so I legit try to respond to EVERY LinkedIn or email so the lack of empathy really pisses me off.

What agency ISN’T going through layoffs right now?

Talk me off a ledge!!! I had an interview with one of the leading professional service firms that I won’t mention for an internal services Learning Manager role. (I’m a former employee from the consulting side) I had a first round interview, that from my perspective, I aced… I answered everything thoroughly, I was engaged with the interviewer…she stated my skills lined up perfectly with the role and that she wanted me to talk to her manager….15 min after the interview I get a no go email…ugh

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

In the interview process for a City Attorney office position. Is it ok to reach out to a current attorney in the office to get intel? For context, I don’t actually have a connection to this person other than I learned through the interview process that they too are from my law school. High likelihood that that person tells the interviewers I’ve reached to get intel. Is it OK/fair game for me to contact this person or not?

I think I asked for too low of a salary during initial interviews elsewhere. The recruiter never told me the band either. About to go into second round. Is there still a chance to ask for more?

Hi all. I just applied to a ''Strategic Partner Lead, News, Large Partner Solutions'' at Google (Canada). I was relatively confident as I think my background is pretty much a perfect fit, but I should have asked for a referral first. Is it too late to get a referral if I already applied? Is a referral pretty much a sine qua non condition to get an interview?
Thanks!

It's really breaks my heart to watch images of innocent people building killed in Ukraine while the so cold leaders of the world send prayers, sanctions and condemnation towards Putin. I understand the need for diplomacy but Russia is playing a different game. They know the rest of the world is too nice not to involve themselves in the war and are taking advantage of that niceness. Madness needs to be faced with Madness
