Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

Hi Fishes, I've accepted offer from Accenture from their portal.. But now got new offer from EY and wants to join at EY. So how can I tell Accenture Accenture India that I'm not going to join them. Rather than not showing up on the date of joining? Can you please guide me? How do I let them know? My talent coach is not reachable

What I find helps more than resumes are personal connections. Use this time to personally email people who can hire you at agencies you want to work at. Introduce yourself. Talk a little bit about your experience and what you want to do and the kind of work you like. And don’t ask anything of them just say you wanted to connect. And then in the fourth quarter or whenever hiring picks up again you will have something to build on
Here is were one might think “shit I really should’ve networked more, be more client facing, injected myself more, etc” all these roles in the offices at the agencies make it much harder if your circle of contacts do go beyond the break room. Meet people, build relationships, be genuine, learn how to negotiate and engage and interact. When things get back to normal, and they will, get out there. Call an old client, past worker, etc... you never know. It’s a contact game. Good luck to all that are searching ..
Big thumbs=horrible grammar and spelling. I’ll work on that.
Same.
No need to stress until the pandemic subsides and the economy comes back.
Try
1. Learn something new, there’s lot of free course. Here’s one https://qz.com/1821327/450-free-ivy-league-university-courses-you-can-take-online/
2. Look within your “transferrable”skill set, this will help your job search.
3. Beside catering your resume on each job application, also your work.
Now it’s the preparation stage. Hope this is helpful.
so many great thoughts here.
two more things:
1. IF you are collecting unemployment, keep a spreadsheet or journal of all the networking you are doing and document do some job searches each day even if it is 15 -30 minutes on linkedin and your state’s job board. the search may also trigger ideas for where your skills are transferable
2. think about if and how you can make your own work. do you like to write and had a fantastic about writing a book? do it.
3. volunteer. the world and our communities need help in so many ways, and you never know who you might meet along the way and it will feel great. live on the coast and like the ocean, get some people
to do a socially distant beach clean up. care about the election? make some calls for a candidate or to engage voter turnout. volunteer with CORE for COVID testing.
whatever you love, do something related through an organization you know or find.
take care and good luck.
Same. I’m a freelancer but I’m not going to even look for gigs until things seem to turn around a bit.
It will comeback. And like an f’ing avalanche. Make your connects now. Be cool. Make friends. Make connections. If you can correspond and get a review of your website, you have nothing to lose. Set up for the future! 😀
One more thing to add — write stuff and post it on LinkedIn. This is a great time to write about our industry, opinions pieces, updates and learnings from your career search. Content is king (as we know) and it has the added benefit of getting your name in front of all your contacts regularly. Including recruiters.
