Solving the same problem that the hiring company is looking to solve for.

Hiring happens out of pain. Being able to ease that pain thru previous experience is what every hiring manager is looking for

like

I don't care what they bring to the table ie similar experiences, competing company, similar technologies, that persons success is based on how well you prepare, and on board them. If that's painful, then it's already a battle for the new hire because he/she is starting off with a person who is not as excited about training up the new member of the team as that new member is excited about joining a new department.

This is a very general question

And yet u don’t seem to be able to answer it.

Received verbal offer for position that I’m considering. Assuming I accept, recruiter advised not to give notice until after clearing background check. I have nothing that would come back on that check, any reason to wait for it to clear? I’d rather give notice before so that I’m giving myself more time off in between jobs... Thoughts?

The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
