Stability. When the company has been standing for a long time then that's a good sign. But when a company has a very high attrition rate then that's a red flag for me. Companies that keep firing employees are the worst.

Red flag when the firm says they work less than B4 and then they quote you an hours target 50% higher than your role at B4, lol.

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me
