How would you deal with a situation when you are asked to design a car rental website and you have no idea how to do it?

How would you deal with a global hotel and hospitality services client who is pissed at you because even after two years lead time you had too many merger integration issues?

I'm betting that it is something along the lines of:
- What were your sales over the last two years?
- Is that repeat business or newly won business
- what is your plan to grow/sustain that business moving forward?
- what does your noncompete look like if applicable?
- are there clients we can talk to to confirm this?

funny

At the Director level, it's really going to be more about fit than skills. You won't have a case interview, but they will drill down into your delivery experience, sales experience, and client relationships.

Be prepared with specific stories highlighting your experience in those areas, and be sure to include the outcomes.

Are these consulting-specific? What about general / industry director interviews? Internal positions that don’t deal with sales, etc.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

One of the company asked if i could join as early as in 1.5/2 months where I have 3 months NP and haven't put papers yet .. i asked one of my senior in my team about this who's already resigning...and she has told about this to the entire team 😶. I realise it's my mistake asking her :p
Now that I'm not hearing back from the company which I gave interview and my environment at current project is a mess atm...Should I just put papers or bear with it till I fine another one..??

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

Hi ,

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
