Went on a job interview. Went really well, then nothing. Recruiter will not respond to my emails. Do I follow up with the CD, or is that creepy/desperate? It has been months...

If you interviewed months ago and you haven’t heard anything back, they passed on you... do not send the CD an email. The CD is the one that passed.

Call! Soooo many recruiters ignore email (not on purpose), it slips through the cracks, etc. If you think/know the job is closed or filled, just call and ask for feedback from the interview. Lots of places will give you pointers or even just tell you, sorry we changed the role, or most recently I got “the money hasn’t come through from the client for the new hire, so we haven’t moved forward at all”

Recruiters don’t ignore individuals on purpose. However, they do intentionally ignore large backlogs of emails, not because they don’t like any of those applicants, but because most recruiters are really inefficient at their jobs and do the bare minimum.

Yeah, if it’s been months you waited way too long, sorry.

Did you follow up w the CD at all?? Call the recruiter if you’re still interested. Get your answers/closure but they probably passed. That doesn’t meant it’s a future no.

You could use that as your in- call and be breezy and positive and say you wanted to let them know you saw the job still posted and you’re interested in continuing talks with the team.

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled.

When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
