Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.

I think a lot of the time they don't realize they're doing it. Which is still annoying, but their intentions are probably good. Who know's you may do it to other people without knowing too.

I would rather someone asks me what kind of work are you looking for?I will keep my ears open and they actually keep their ears open instead of saying for the sake.

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC bangalore rescinding an offer given the current market condition? The role in my offer letter seems to be pretty generic and during interviews, it didn't look like, they were interviewing for a particular project or team. I have doubts specifically because of HR's behaviour during the whole recruitment process where they never responded to my emails or calls. Is this normal practice?

It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
