I've got a phone interview with a recruiter in a few hours. What should I expect? Will he ask my questions or will I be expected to ask questions?

Yeah buddy

Both bae, have a call in 19 minutes.

Good luck ❤️

To you as well, OP!
Company research to show interest, ask questions about the role that you're looking at, indicate how you're the best person for that. Go kick ass!

I'm really good at face to face interviews when I know what position I'm going for and with people involved in the work. I've never actually had an interview with a recruiter without knowing what role they would want me in.

Oh so more questions about the role then!

Definitely ask a question

I should clarify, by asking questions I meant "lead the interview"

Just don't come across as a dipshit, it's a screening call

Getting passed on to the technical interview!

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand.

Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
