What do you do when a company wants to schedule a final interview the week of Christmas? I’m trying to be flexible, but I’d also like to enjoy my life. Is it okay to ask for January without ruining the vibe?

How bad do you want the job? Do you think other people want the job bad enough to carve out an hour of their day?

If it's a job nobody wants and there hasn't been a mass layoff in your industry recently with a ton of new candidates now available - then I say reschedule it for the new year.

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.

I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
