Depends if they are respecting your time and rescheduling far in advance vs last minute. Some of my top clients are extremely busy business owners and things come up.

Get them to pay upfront for the next meeting

Try a “firing message”. Something like “I don’t want to pester you, so I want to reach out one more time and see if there is a time you can come in and meet. I know timing has been tough, but I don’t want to continue reaching out and taking space on both of our calendars.” Polite, but firm. A client should respect your time as much as you respect theirs.

No, but dont seem desperate. Put them on the back burner. Circle back in a little.

Wait a few months then try again

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

Hi All,

I joined
Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?
