This question is for recruiters. I’m updating my resume and I’m curious as to what is the “etiquette” on references. Is it better to list references or have them be “available upon request”?
My current bosses are not too fond of the idea of me leaving the firm, which makes me worry that they might turn hostile if another firm contacts them, specially if I don’t end up getting an interview or the job. Should I risk it?

Don’t list them. Recruiters or companies will ask if they need them. Don’t risk losing your job for the possibility of getting another one. Also usually if you need to ask, it’s probably not a good idea.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Hi all!

Had 2 interviews in the first half of December for a Product Specialist role, but it's been quiet since the 13th.
I know it's a busy time of year but is it common for a Recruiter to ghost?
I followed up with a Happy Holidays e-mail to no answer and the recruiter no longer has a #Hiring on their LinkedIn profile so I was just wondering if I should take the hint and move on.

Appreciate any and all input!
