Your favorite question to ask when interviewing potential teammates?

Anyone interview at Apple before? What’s the interview process like?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

What's the review process for firms. I have people getting rejected but I haven't heard anything. Is it interviews, offers, rejections? Or is it review/ interview and rejections then offers.

Hello Respected Novartis fishes,
I don't want to sound repetitive but do we have any updates on the hiring process re-opening?
My offer letter is still stuck into it and I am not able to get to a decision.

If a recruiter advises a pay range for a specific position is $65-75k in the initial phone screening, how set in stone is that? I know it may vary by company/position but I feel I deserve move based on my qualifications than top of their range.

One of the company asked if i could join as early as in 1.5/2 months where I have 3 months NP and haven't put papers yet .. i asked one of my senior in my team about this who's already resigning...and she has told about this to the entire team 😶. I realise it's my mistake asking her :p
Now that I'm not hearing back from the company which I gave interview and my environment at current project is a mess atm...Should I just put papers or bear with it till I fine another one..??

Had 2nd round with HM but noticed the job posting was pulled 2 days ago. Getting the vibe they’re planning to fill it internally. Any other telltale signs that’s the case?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Hi Guyz,

I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.

Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?

Popped a xanax before an interview, what a mistake that was. Sometimes, anxiety is good.

Has anyone given interview in Daimler for data engineer? Can you please help what kind of questions they ask in the first round?

Question my fellow Fish Bowlers♥️ I had a phone screen interview.

Got rejected again by Facebook. Reason they rejected me is because other applicant did slightly better on the technical interview. Feeling like shit. Any advice?

How do you guys think about placing limits on your watch collection?

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.

Any of you 3-6 PQE associates have your own clients? I would really love to do some business development with tangible results. I want to have my own clients or atleast bring some to the firm. What has worked for you? Also looking for advice from partners who may have started BD efforts early in their career.

Turned down a job offer with a basic explanation of it wasn’t the best fit for my career at this time and they want more details. Had a generally bad experience and the offer was weak. How to close this process and move on?

casually scrolling through my feed on IG when I see a sponsored ad from a guy wanting to work at Saatchi. Jobseekers are getting so clever! what's the best thing you've seen someone do for a job?

Is it really that hard for managers to book their own conference rooms and send out invites? The time it takes to ask one to do it could it not have just been done by themselves?

Just got promoted to ACD. Will be taking on more leadership roles. Any books, workshops, resources that helped you learn leadership skills?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

a weekly - or biannual at the rate I’m doing it - reminder to people looking to hire talent: rejection letters after phone, video, or in person interviews are so much better than absolute silence

Pros and cons of working on an auto brand?

Is anyone else unable to change their title on comments? It switches to my company and won’t let me change it to anything else.

How important are references on a resume? I'm still at the agency I started at out of college so all my references would be people I work with now...who I don't want to know I'm leaving yet.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

If you live in LA, dm me for secret wineries in SB county that will blow your mind. I’ve literally been to all and give you the goods and they are so close and life’s too short to drink crap wine!

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩
