Hey all I have an opportunity to buy a vacation home as a private sale from my parents (they are buying a new house in that area and need to sell the old one), it is waterfront property in NH 10 minutes from Mt Sunappee. I am concerned that making this purchase may make me a little cash poor in the short term, but still manageable. Would it make more sense to rent out the property through a rental company that included insurance and cleaning or to put it on airbnb?

“Why do you want to work here?” How do you answer this question early in the interview process? I get it often in the first round and what I really think is - “I don’t know yet, that’s why we’re talking! It’s a two way street.” But that obviously isn’t a good answer….

After a few long interview processes, I've learned that prior CPG experience is highly valued when entering any CPG industry (even in low- to mid-level roles).

Alternatively, would love to be able to "spin" my resume to help fill in the gaps that this lack of experience leaves.

New Co-Bowl Leader here. How ya doin? I wanted to let you all know a few things:
1) Recruiters & Talent Folk didn’t used to have access to AAR bowl, it was only recently that we could respond to your questions, comments, concerns.
2) We aren’t going to allow trolling, doxxing, or shite behavior. This is going to be a helpful place for positive, constructive conversation.
3) We’ll be doing an AMA in the coming weeks.
4) Next AAR Live Session is September 16th, and we’re talking Portfolios!
