^ Don't do that. Never ask something that makes them focus on a negative or forces them to think of one. Always spin to positive. I ask 'what made you respond to my application?' Or '...want to meet with me?'

Not a creative, but I always ask, “is there anything I’ve said today or that i’m missing that makes you think I’m not the right match for the role.” kinda balllsy but gives you a chance to defend any potential weaknesses/mismatches they see.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
