Recently accepted a job offer, but I've been approached by a competitor that seems promising. My intent isn't to renege on my commitment but to engage with the competitor's hiring team for potential future opportunities. I see it as a valuable networking experience and a chance to understand their operations better, which could be beneficial 1-2 years down the line. Any advice on how to leverage this interview opportunity to glean insights into the company?

It can be a strategic move to interview with a competitor for networking purposes, as long as you handle the situation professionally and ethically. Just ensure you are genuinely interested in the role and the company, and approach the interview with sincerity. Building a professional network can be valuable for future opportunities, but be mindful of your current employer's policies and any potential conflicts of interest.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

So I have a felony. I interviewed with a recruiter today who was super cheerful and nice. Once I disclosed my felony, which she already knew about since a friend referred me to her, she immediately stopped the interview and said she couldn’t in good faith move forward on my application given the nature of my offense. I explained that I had done my time, paid my fines and restitution and had the experience to become a great asset to the organization. -she suggested I look into bartending.
