Recently accepted a new position as a General Manager for a competitor, I’m supposed to start training in 4 days. However I have not received any information for the location or any basic information such as a schedule. When I reach out to the recruiter and the Regional they are a bit unreliable. Is this an early red flag? I’m successful and respected in my current company, however was attracted to the extra money and growth opportunities. Is this a sign to back out of this offer?

Red flags immediately!!! I’ve worked in retail for 10+ years, this is the first sign of bad business!

If the regional is unreliable then you have a HUGE problem!!! No business is perfect but it sounds like you’re going to be walking into a mess!

It does seem like a missed expectation and you should have a meeting with your upline to discuss it so everyone is on the same page. At the same time, they may be looking for you to take the reigns on the position without little interference from them.

I have red some comments in different job positions and different platforms and all over the US that HR departaments are using Artificial Intelligence that's help in some case but in other it just delay hiring processes. Be aware in some of the job offers you may apply on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, CareerBuilder there is a check box at the bottom of the page for the AI filters will reject your resume or part of hiring process makes mistakes.

Hey 20 year plus retail veteran here! Do not necessarily take that as a red flag. Sometimes things fall apart at a company temporarily... they could be scrambling to replace poor performers that they had to move out quickly, they could've had HR issues that are exploding. What do you have to look at? Is the overall reputation of the company you are going to.. versus the one you were at. Don't leave a higher level company for a lower level company that is going to pay you more.

No Bueno! They should prioritize new hires!

I figured out the hard way that grass isn’t always greener… these are definitely some red flags in my opinion.

If you are willing to private message me, or if you are willing to tell us the companies... we could probably definitively tell you which ones are better move.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

How soon do most companies let you know if you're not proceeding to the next round of interviews? Do they let you know within the day, a day after, or a week usually?
