That's great, congratulations! Sometimes you just have to be persistent, and it can come down to timing and trying again. Keep trying is good advice!

Heck yeah, love to hear it! Persistence really does pay off. I'm not currently looking for a job, but I know they're hard to find right now, so hats off to you for making it happen.

Congratulations! I'm never sure if I should apply to the same place more than once or not, so this is reassuring. Sounds like it's time to go through my list of places I've already applied to and apply again.

Congrats! I’m glad your persistence paid off - landing that job is so often about timing and luck. If they need someone like you at that exact time you apply, then you’re in! If they already have the staff, then you’re out of luck.

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

Thank you so much!

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
