Why has it become to hard to find a job in London ? I am an international student and I have been living here for almost 2 years, but I have not got an decent jobs for two years.

I have been applying online, making new connections on linkedin, new friends and when I ask them to refer me they say they dont have any vacancies at the moment.

I had to work in recycling on a running conveir belt where I had to pick up trash for a living. The smell and the constant fear of being crushed by machine.

You are an international student. Are you applying for jobs back home, too? This is happening everywhere, and many job seekers are losing their chance to a job because of immigration and work visas. For anyone looking, are you initiating cold calls using the business phone numbers-asking for hiring managers? Is your resume imitating the words the job description uses? Are you sharing too much information or unnecessary information? Are you participating in a job search program? Going to Temp Agencies? Volunteering helps build up a resume and network.

Hopefully the pay was worth the adverse conditions.

It was 12.21

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

What should I do?

I moved from being customer service at a call center to doing it remotely from home, and it's such a game changer. I just sit around in my pajamas, relaxed. Has anyone else switched to 100% remote work?
