I just wait for people to contact me. That’s how I’ve gotten all of my jobs. I’m too lazy to get a new job by being proactive.

I've used Glassdoor and Upwork to find positions in recent years. Both are great for very unique reasons. Glassdoor is open with information and upwork has a good variety of opportunities for especially short term work.

Thanks for the reco. I’m def looking for fulltime.

LinkedIn's definitely gone from "humble brag platform" to "professional Instagram" feels like everyone's trying to out-aesthetic each other. Chat up people at industry events, join online communities, even strike up conversations with the barista making your latte. You never know who might know who.

Stalk people. (But be fun and respectable)

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9
