My application for an engagement financial analyst at Deloitte got rejected within a few hours despite having a good gpa(3.95 and graduated in the spring) and some work experience. Does anyone have some tips?

Maybe seek referral on here?

If I already applied to another job at Deloitte would it make sense to get a referral still?

I say apply to multiple jobs. As far as the resume, make sure the experience is “dumb enough” for a recruiter to understand quickly. Like a good summary or objective statement that kind of very upfront shows you check all the boxes.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

Hi, I have my final round of interview in analytics team this week. Can you please share your experience on the same?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Does anyone have a go-to "odd" or unconventional question you like to ask candidates to keep them on their toes or see how they react when put on the spot?

Hi everyone, I have a question. I am currently in the middle on of an interview process, where I am quite confident that I will get the job... but I want to work for another company that has contacted me 1 week ago to interview but hasn't scheduled the interview yet....

Meaning that their interview process is probably going to take longer... how should I reach out to the company and properly let them know my situation?
