Looking for some sincere advice. I absolutely bombed a case interview today. I’m defeated. I performed as well as someone with zero preparation after over a month of prep. I seem to always panic, I get disorganized, I’m flustered and lose sight of important relationships in cases. I feel like I need a complete overhaul. Any advice of what has worked to help you change your instincts? I care more about building up my skills and self improvement than I do about doing this for an interview. TIA

So I have a tricky situation and need some advice. Long story short, one of my best friends was offered a role that I personally really like. She was promised Director level and when offer came through it was manager, so she declined and was pretty salty about it. Is it awkward if I apply for the role? How should I approach it with my friend?

Any insights on what incentives recruiters really get at their companies? Would they have any goals that would conflict or undermine my goals while job hunting?

I’ve worked at the same well known tech company since I graduated school 8 years ago. I’ve been promoted 3 times so I’ve held a few different jobs within my org.

BUT .. I’ve applied to a few companies and getting no responses. Is it a deterrent for hiring managers/recruiters that my experience is based primarily at one company?

They have it every few weeks. That’s in the job description.” Even though it definitely isn’t in the job description.

Hey everyone I’m an upcoming graduate trying to find a strategy/management consultant role or analyst position. I graduate this December with a BS in Industrial and systems engineering.

How do people network naturally? I’ve applied for numerous software engineering intern positions, but I have yet to move past applying. I know networking is key, but I just feel awkward and in a way “dirty”… like I don’t want to feel too pushy or impede on people’s time to get into tech. Could someone offer any advice on how to word a message that sounds natural and sincere? I’m looking to get in contact with both recruiters and people already working in positions that I’d want.

Need advice. I current work as a Staffing Specialist for a large and growing franchise. The company was recently bought out and our new parent company is making a lot of changes. The culture and environment is just not the same and has prompted me to dip my toe back into job hunting.

Do you think this is a good move or should I stick it out?
