Not sure where else to post.
We had a team interview with a candidate, per the candidate's request. During our conversations we discovered that we share a common previous employer. I still have friends there. None remember the candidate, that is explainable. Whats inexplicable was candidates claim of a 2-2-3-3 shift schedule, not the actual 3-3-4-4. If hired, this will be the candidates 5th job this year and college class of 2023. Am I right to be concerned and against hiring this candidate?

5th job in under 2 years? That’s a hard pass

Definitely. What did the candidate say about that?

Update. Spoke with another person that still works there. He remembers candidate. Candidate was part of production not maintenance, and was "employed" via a temp agency! Also, confirmed the schedule for maintenance is still unchanged. No way I can trust this candidate.

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time.

I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff. Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!

Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
