Why we gotta have resumes, just trust me bro...
Hey, Fishies! We’re launching our first Interview/Q+A series "Portfolio Rewind: Would You Hire You?"
Like a portfolio review in reverse, creative leaders will share work they created when they first started out and critique it as if were a book that had just landed in their inbox. Then, tell us if they’d hire their younger selves knowing, and expecting, what they do now.
Drop in for get the chance to ask questions, and get your book reviewed by our guest. Hope you can make it!

Good luck OP!!
I think it went well, but I could feel my own anxiety when I spoke. Industry yes. We shall see, have two more phone screenings this week
@p3, prospective employers can call your past company and get the dates of your hire and departure. Not the circumstances, or whether or not you are eligible for rehire.
Nice! Hope it went well - other consulting firm? Industry?
You the real MVP OP!
Good luck! How did you get the interviews?
Good luck!
Did they ask about your current employment? If so, how did u respond?
Thanks all! PwC3- I targeted a very specific discipline, nationwide, and applied to like 30 positions - 1 recruiter reached out directly and that's been the outcome so far. The other 2 I got through employee referrals - used my network from both the firm and my friends. They asked about my employment and I tried to paint a picture, but she said at the end "so you were laid off?" (Which totally made my entire story seem irrelevant) And I said yes of course. Then we moved on to the specific of my experience
That's awesome pwc op!! I've always been worried at how recruiters look at candidates that have been laid off when considering them for the position. Interesting that you were honest with them.. Is there anyway for recruiters to confirm if u were still employed or not?
Also, were these positions a lateral move for you?
so OP could have said s/he wasn't laid off as long as the dates were correct. IMO not really fair of the interviewer to force your hand like that
Thanks strategy& 1! That was super helpful
