Speaking from a hiring manager's side, I’ve noticed a lot of really unprofessional behaviour from candidates in interviews recently. Is this something recruiters are noticing too? I’m shocked by some of the entitlement.

What defines “entitlement”?

I agree. I had someone try to negotiate a salary when we were only halfway through the interview process. I’m not sure it was as much entitlement as it made me believe they would never be happy with the salary range we had listed.

I had such a similar issue, so many candidates were rude, unprofessional, and sometimes straight up wasted my time and I was getting so sick of it. Before the actual interviews, I started pre-screening candidates with Heymilo, and the ones that had potential, I'd interview, if they were rude, unqualified, or unprofessional I didn't interview them. Saved me from so many migraines.

Honestly seem to be liking it more, since they've been adding in new features. Candidates have been responding to it pretty well, and overall has seemed to lessen my caffeine addiction, so I find it to be working pretty well for me.

As an executive coach for the past 20 years, I work with a lot of clients who are in the job search mode. The younger the candidate the harder the work. Even with college degrees they are not well spoken, and have inflated ideas about the work they are willing to do and how much they should be paid to do it. Many lack manners and life skills that the vast majority of people over 35 considered basic. I coach internationally, I don't see these challenges in Europe...

Speaking from the candidate end, I have been disappointed by the lack of professionalism from the recruiter/hiring team stand point. Have had a significant amount of ghosting and lack of communication with follow ups. Assuming that this is just a product of the current job market and abundance of applicants?

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?
