When in the interview process is it appropriate to bring up flexibility? Don’t want to put myself out of the running, but don’t want to waste my time if they’re super rigid. Going in for R2 next week.

I love how VP 1 positioned this around talent retention! Great idea!!! And it’s also totally correct that desk time = effective time. My WFH day’s are so much more productive for ke

I think it’s totally fair to bring it up in your next round. I’d position it around a broader question about the company culture. I’d also ask what they do to retain top talent, including those who are parents. It bugs me that some people still have the outdated view that the more time you are actually sitting in your desk, the more productive you are. Hopefully they aren’t antiquated in that manner! Good luck!

I’d suggest asking anonymously here to get a sense. I’d also suggest asking in ways that give you a sense without being explicit as early as R2. Like “how are last minutes deadlines handled?”, or “trying to get a sense of the culture here, so people WFH, what are standard office hours?” Etc.

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about.

Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice.

I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.
