Why we gotta have resumes, just trust me bro...
Hi ,I have been interviewed and selected in S&P Global .salary almost negotiated and waiting for the offer letter to release. But seems like they are not willing to release the offer because of my 90 np . They are asking to join by 60 days but initially I told them my NP is 90. Even I am ready to take the 60 days offer but now they are not releasing offer as they want assurance.Now they are not picking calls.seems like i will loose the offer. Is there anything can be done.

Swearing shows a lack of vocabulary and easily set off emotions. Stay calm and in control.
Lack of vocab? That’s bullshit! It’s not what you say but when and how. It shows passion, when used in proper context.
Fuck me! What happened to you lot!? This is advertising. It’s meant to be FUN. If you’re gonna not hire someone because they use a swear word then y’all are probably in the wrong industry.
No, but people who take swearing super seriously are not fun. Fact.
Depends. Not automatic.
I can’t follow this thread. So many opinions. All contradicting one another.
How do you make it through a day at work?
Say what you will about stereotypes, but research says.... https://www.sciencealert.com/swearing-is-a-sign-of-more-intelligence-not-less-say-scientists
Have this ready to show at the interview
I’ve shitted but not fucked
Depending on context. No.
Nope. Not a deal-breaker at all. Depends on the context, but there is good research to backup that swearing is actually a sign of intelligence and valid expression of emotional intelligence.
We interviewed a designer who called herself a typography whore and said dick a few times. My CD thought she was great.
Those are my criteria for hiring designers, too
I prefer people who have less filters tbh. 🤷🏽♀️
It's fine as long as you keep a balance. Follow every swear word with a Hail Mary.
Just my opinion, but I think that rarely used and well-placed swearing does what it should: stops people in their tracks and causes them to listen when you really need them to listen. I get tired of people who overdo it. It's like their vocabulary is made up of the same five words, mixed in with the occasional, "Um".
I don’t think its an absolute no, you have to read the room
Cursing is only for people with a limited vocabulary...or so my grandmother always told me 😂
Nope. There are better words that can be used to express.
Not a deal breaker but you don’t know that person you’re interviewing with. They’re not your mate. Yet. Tread carefully. A shit is fine but don’t f-bomb in an interview.
I want to work with human beings. Context is key, so I can’t make sense of a blanket ban on any word at all in an interview. Surely, someone could come in and curse in a way that put me off, and the next person could do it in a way that was charming or relatable.
What do you think?
100% okay.
Automatic no.
I would never swear in an interview, whether the interviewer or interviewee. My parents didn't "allow" swearing, not because swear words are bad per se, but it was a way of teaching how to control your words in differing situations.
My parents also didn’t allow me to be out after dark. Obviously that doesn’t apply now.
Read the room. You can probably tell how the interviewer will respond. It’s often less about the company culture and more about the interviewer’s personal style. But net, net, definitely not a dealbreaker.
Swearing usually displays some sort of anger or displeasure with something. Is that what you want to show your interviewer? And even if your interviewer swears, who’s to know if it’s a test, or that your interviewer is a fk’d up human? Always take the high ground. Then when it’s over, you can say, “thanks for the f’ing interview mofo!”
You’ve clearly never been to England or Australia... or a bar. People swear at each other to express friendship and inclusion.
What you’re thinking of relates to tone, not vocabulary.
