One of my best friends didn't do amazing in college but is actually unbelievable smart and arguably the most personable person I know. I think he'd be great for HC practice...

Very small chance it works out. I referred a friend with 6 years relevant experience, top 5 MBA program, and her application was rejected in less than 4 hours after submission. Last time I'll ever refer someone to Deloitte.

He'd be an analyst

Refer him! Are you in HC? If you're close to your manager or partner even, maybe set up an informal coffee chat. If they are impressed they can refer him and his chances of interview just grew tremendously. Good luck!

But I'm low level. What r the chances I could help him get a job

Like what level would your friend be? How much experience does he have and is it unique?

I'm only 1 year out of college and so is he. He didn't have any flashy internships but is just returning from teaching in Thailand for a year and traveling Southeast Asia

Refer him and I hope it works out. If it doesn't he will be successful in life anyway

I'm in tech currently and close to a couple partners, but don't know any HC managers or partners

Doesn't always work out. The smartest and most charismatic people may suck at PowerPoint and excel - just saying. Those traits may not transfer over when it comes to actually doing the work

I'm in HC, I'd be happy to help with referring! 🙋🏻

Refer them to Accenture digital

Will be really tough based on experience. He doesn't have any special skills and why would we hire him instead of a campus hire who has gpa etc? Just being realistic. I'd say it's basically impossible without a specific skill set at the analyst level that we'd want.

You could also suggest they look into EY. Didn't they just make a big public announcement about getting rid of GPA requirements??

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…
