So I was laid off day after the war started and find myself in a position of not only trying to manage a job search after a decade, but also figuring out how to manage public versus private discourse in relation to antisemitism and everything that’s going on. I’ve never been the quiet Jew at any of my former companies or in any industry, but I currently find myself in a fearful position, what is safe to say what is not safe to say? How does this reflect on my job search and my ability to network

You should only discuss the areas that you being Jewish makes a difference in the job. Do you have to leave early on Friday, for example? And, even then, only after you are hired.

Oh, that I learned a long time ago. This feels like a different situation… And it’s less about what’s discussed during a job interview and more about what is “vocalized” in general these days.

Not sure how one would impact the other. Just like you wouldn’t talk about domestic politics in a job application or interview (unless pertinent to the job), you wouldn’t talk about the war.

As for your job search, it’s easy to check what org is doing in reaction and if it’s the kind of company you want to work for.

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
