Hey all, in need of some quick advice.

I went for an interview this past Monday. It felt like it went really well. I was given the tour, I was given all the details and the boss and I had some great conversation. I know when an interview feels well. At the end of it he said he’d let me know the next day.

Well, Tuesday went by, and no call. So far today, no call. He also mentioned if I had any questions to not hesitate to give them a call.

What should I do? Should I call in the office and ask about my application? Or just wait for them to reach out to me.

Thanks!

Not to be whiny, I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong. Several times I’ve seen a jobs that i have applied for get reposted and yet either my application is ignored or it says they won’t move forward with my application. I keep getting the jobs ob my linked in feed because my skills match really really well, including the nice to haves. I’m not entry level, i have about 5 years experience in the industry, a bachelors degree and a couple big certs.

I get if they decided to go with someone else, but for them to not have anyone and repost the exact same job and yet I didn’t even get a single call even from the recruiter?

Sometimes i feel like I’m on a blacklist of some kind, I have revised and revised my resume. I have a pretty foreign name, could it be that?

Any advise?

Hey everyone,

I've been in the retail industry for several years, honing my customer service skills and thriving in fast-paced environments. Now, I'm eager to transition into a desk job where I can utilize my experience and pursue new opportunities. Any advice on how to make this shift? Your insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

anyone heard of leapros staffing agency, specifically in GA?

I've been job searching now for about 2 months. Landed a pretty good one, and I'm satisfied. I turned some down for this better opportunity, but there are others that were even better, but I never heard back from. I even followed up with emails and a phone call (left voicemails) to each of them, but was completely ignored. No reply to either and its now been weeks.

I would love to know why these places never responded. Even to a courtesy thank you for the opportunity.

Is this common practice? Why do they do this? Completely ghosted by employers lol

I'm looking for a good way to keep track of people in my network/people I'm networking with. Ideally a free solution, or at least not too expensive, given the fact that it will basically be a life-long annual expense. Right now, I don't have a specific system: I use LinkedIn extensively and make notes in my phone for contacts, but generally rely a lot on my memory. It works relatively well, but I would like a more systematized approach so I can keep track of contacts over the long haul. Any suggestions?

I built a service that I believe might be useful for people in this sub: the main purpose of the service is to apply jobs for you.
How does it work?
Simply put, you upload your CV and job preferences, and we will go ahead and find jobs that match your criteria, AND apply to those jobs for you.

Basically, we remove the hassle of searching for and applying to jobs. You simply have to reply to emails or phone calls and schedule interviews.

If you have any questions or concerns, please message me or leave a comment, I'm here to help or clarify any question you might have. Thank you for your time!
(If this is interesting to you, drop me a message and I will send you more details)

I recently came across a job posting on LinkedIn for a remote ML engineer internship position at Kounsel. They offer compensation too. What i have studied, Kounsel is an online counseling platform for healthy lifestyle. However, upon visiting their website, I discovered a staggering 47 open internship positions available worldwide, spanning various domains from business to IT. They have started a "graduate internship programme".

What I have studied, the company itself is not completely invalid as there are people working as counselors there or used to. But the internship job postings of this scale in recent days seems dodgy. Could this be indicative of a potential scam? I genuinely can't tell if this is a real legit company or not.

But if this is legit, is it normal for a company to launch such a big paid internship program that too paid?

Up until now, Indeed has been working fine, but all of the sudden I cannot view a specific message log with an employer after I sent a reply. They asked about my experience and I provided an answer, but now whenever I try to open that specific chat I receive an error saying "Something's not right. Your messages didn't load." It only seems to happen with this chat, as any other is working as expected. I tried closing and re-opening the app, clearing the cache, and even tried accessing the chat on my desktop instead of my phone, but it is still inaccessible. I received a notification stating that the employer responded, so I know my message went through, but I cannot view their response. What should I do? If nothing works, I may try to call the company directly tomorrow and ask to speak with the employer so I can explain the situation. Is this a good idea? Is there anything else I should do first?

Background: I had a tough last few years since graduating just 2 months before Covid. Had quite a few “almosts” and a rescinded offer (due to perceived visa issues at the time) + a short-lived job in 2022 which I resigned from since it was in a city I hated and felt very isolated in. I’m now mentally in a place where I’m ready to reapply to jobs and I want to find a tolerable yet enjoyable role and just move on (physically too) with my life! It doesn’t have to be the dream role.

My resume barely shows any gaps because I lied that shortly after graduation (so from 2020) I’ve been working as a marketing manager (“promoted” from coordinator) at a clinic. No issues with verifying as the owner is a relative, although I’m not using their name for reference so the relation isn’t obvious. I’m also showing that I had a consulting llc on the side (not completely false as I did multiple interview social media projects for companies who then used my work and hired someone internally or magically paused hiring lol).

I don’t want a lecture on how this is unethical or whatever else. My question is, how do I discuss my wider marketing skills in interviews when there’s only so much I could lie about my current work at the clinic? They don’t have social media and it’s not the kind of clinic that would be able to, so I can’t make it for them. I’ve written that I’ve done more in-clinic marketing and events, as well as email marketing and customer/client outreach. However, I am highlighting my social media skills such as KPI analysis, creative digital strategy etc, in the blurb about my self-employment work as a Social Media Markering Consultant. I’m not an expert yet by any means but I know I could do it if employed in such a role or something related.

So in interviews can I speak more to the latter since I honestly do feel limited in how much I can fib about my salaried “marketing manager” role? Is it even ok to mention that while my current role doesn’t use social media marketing, I am comfortable with it because of my “consulting” work?

Hello I used Certiphi for a background check, however as soon as I hit submit I realized I forgot to add two employers who I worked with for like a month each. It just wasn't my cup of tea and I quit. I have totally forgot about them up until now. Do you think it will be a problem ? The job is a " city job"

I’m new to the workforce and don’t have much experience, I’ve been seeing a lot of these certifications online like servsafe or osha certifications and I’m wondering if they actually help distinguish you to employers, especially if you have nothing else to offer. I am kind of desperate for something

I just had my 1st phone interview with a company and of course my stutter started acting up. I know companies aren't supposed to hold stuff like that against you but realistically speaking, am I screwed?

I havent signed a right to represent for the 1st agency and my resume hasnt been looked by the hiring manager. 2nd recruiter from another agency offer around $4 more for the samw position. Any advice on what to do? Just tell the 1st agency Im withdrawing from you guys?

It only took me a week to get 3 offers a week in to applying before I am officially laid off tomorrow.

No degree, 5 years experience in different sectors of business (marketing, operations, and CX).

Here's what I did: reached out to founders, CEOs, CMOs ect directly on linked in. I sent about 45 messages introducing myself, an elevator pitch of my resume, and my actual resume.

Here's what didn't work: I got 52 rejection emails from applying to job postings.

Learning: messages are the new walk in the door and meet your employer and hand them your resume.

Wishing you all luck!

My parents just moved to the US, they speak little English, what can I do to help them to find the best job in their situation? Any certification? They are here legally, and planning to stay for a long time (east cost area)

I'm in the UK and looking for PHP developer jobs in a certain pay band.

​

Is it possible to hire someone to find and get me interviews for those types of jobs?

​

TYIA

It's me! Going to keep posting.

The summer camp director position didn't work out but honestly that one is for the best. I'm ready to work towards a career that isn't childcare and even though I had some amazing memories at camp, the real reason for coming back was getting manager experience and I can get that somewhere else.

This week I'm excited I have my normal part time job and then my catering jobs are starting to heat up with the season! 5 full days of work that's something to celebrate.

I'm finding more planning and planning intern positions that I'm interested in and even got some follow up from a transportation planning position for a small agency in the Bay Area. Hope to connect with them this week!

I've upped my weekly applications and am starting to see some results. Keep it up!

I got hired in a call center about a month ago along with one other guy who's working remotely, i am in the office. When we met he asked for my instagram and being the naive antisocial worm that I am I gave it to him cause i was hoping I'll have new friends now. I had a lingering feeling that coworkers are not friends however I was hoping it would be different.

Fast forward, I got the hang of the job and i work all day in the office with a team of ppl who are great.

Often we would have team meetings with the team leader whos working remotely and all the other people who are remote.

Now, keep in mind, we are totally allowed to use phones as long as its not when we are on a call with a client. We can use them inbetween calls, on breaks, just not while we work.

I just use my phone while im on break, because i forget about it when i work.

Well.. i do post stories on my instagram when im on a break or just posts in general, i guess my coworker saw them. Theyre random posts like paintings etc.

A few days ago we had a meeting again, where i guess my system acted up and i wasnt visible to my team leader that i was online and working, which i was, but it was a mess up in the system. My team leader is a cool guy and made a joke "hmmmm why arent you visible, guess youre doing something else!" but in a funny tone, everyone laughed including me when my snake coworker said "shes probably on instagram", my team leader later asked me if that was true which was not, and he believed me because im dedicated to my job, but it for sure left a bad taste and impression on people about me, because my coworker decided it was okay to spread a lie. I am never trusting another being on two legs ever again, fuck this.

I cannot stand these people.

The state of getting an entry level IT job at the moment isn’t great. I’m studying for my certifications and doing projects and applying, but I’ve seen that the most effective way is networking. Currently trying to connect with other on linked in, to see if they could refer me or help in any way, there is a script I have and am respectfully reaching out as well as reaching out only when I see a it position I could do.

I'm a senior in high school right now and thinking of majoring in business management or a degree in the business field. I was originally planning on doing mechanical engineering but I heard it's hard to get into the field. I also have a speech impedement which makes it a little hard to talk to people but it's not that bad. Would jobs in this field be bad for someone who doesn't want to be to social. Would it be hard for me to find a job after I graduate with a business degree? What would the starting pay look like?

I'm a 23 year old guy from India. After my graduation, I had a job offer in an Ed-tech startup. But I wanted to start something on my own. So I rejected the offer and took 3-4 months gap and listed down the problems I noticed to build a business around it. I started sorting out those problem statements which required less to no capital and are aligning with my skills. I was confused to pick one thing but started an influencer marketing agency where I connect small brands with right influencers with proper script and strategy. After 6 months I met a friend who is about to start a d2c brand. He asked me to join. I joined there and worked there for over a year. Did revenue close 2.5M INR. But we needed funds and could not raised and closed our d2c brand due bad financials. Now I'm actively looking jobs, but I keep getting rejected at all interviews even for small roles. It's been 2 months now. I can talk English fluently, had experience working with US clients. Graduated from tier 2 college. Iterated my resume multiple times. Now I need your advice to how to get a job?

Hi!
I've received two internship offers with Paramount and Disney over the last couple months and I'm super conflicted on which one to choose. Both are full-time (40 hours a week) roles. Here are some of the highlights/details of the individual roles:
Disney: 4 Days in Office (Friday Remote), Lasts through at least December, pays $21.70/Hour, NYC-Based
Paramount: Option to be remote or in NY or LA, Summer-only internship (based off research, has the potential to extend through fall, but no guarantees). Pays $20.00/Hour. Already made offer and accepted.
Both roles align with my interests/long-term "dream department" and the individuals I met with all seemed fantastic. What should I do? Which would be the better company for "opening doors"?
Thank you for any advice or insights.

Hey all,
I have a friend who worked at a chain restaurant as a trainer for several years but her location closed without notice. She was transferred to a store 30 miles away but she's also a single mother so the commutes is too difficult. I'm trying to brainstorm some career ideas for her with upward mobility. She can hold a job fine but getting the job is difficult because she is Deaf and mute and that puts potential employers off. She has some college but never finished. She's very active in the Deaf community; i think she would be great in some kind of outreach role but i'm just not sure where to start. Any ideas would be great. She's smart and is an exceptionally hard worker. She does do all the gig apps but i really want to see her in something with benefits for her and her kid.

Thank you all!

So I'm 19f and have been homeless for a while. I live in Los Angeles, California and have been applying to jobs for month but keep getting either turned down or never hear anything back. On my resume I have included my past jobs as a seasonal employee at Ulta Beauty, a camp counselor and photography specialist at a sleep away summer camp, and as a full time employee at Subway. My last job was a year ago, and I have a few gaps in my resume but I'm not sure that really matters when applying to every Mcdonald's in Los Angeles. I have applied to all fast food places in my area and even as far as 15 miles away, and I've recently started applying to the YMCA and after school programs. Does anyone have any tips? Am I looking in the wrong places. Ive applied for every grocery store and Target and Walmart and so on. I need a job to survive and at this point I'm desperate.

Female 32, introvert. Graduated in biotechnology engineering took 9 years to complete (due to bad in maths and related subjects) degree basically useless. Have been unemployed for the past 4 years , since i wasn't getting any job tried studying for govt exams which also isn't my cup of tea. Completed a clinical research clinical data management course 6 months back, being rejected the same way as I was after the graduate degree. I don't know what should I do now living off parents even at this age is embarrassing and above that I have wasted even 30 k on the course which i thought could help me land a job , I don't want to further waste my parents money and I don't know what should I do that I can earn a living. Anxiety has been crippling me again. I don't have big dreams i just want to be able to feed and clothe myself.

Edit : thank you everyone for your responses , I'm from India, I have tried for entry level​ jobs been rejected i tried for data entry jobs , pre school teacher job . Freelancing on upwork requires you to have some project done to ​show your skills but there again I'm not getting any opportunity itself.. The only area I was getting offer sometime back was sales and I'm bad at talking so i didn't do it. I have had thoughts of getting professional medical help but I don't have that amount of money too.

Hey, i am currently pursuing b.tech but i can't pursue this anymore. So, i think to quit the b.tech and enrolled in a web development course is it right or not and pursue bba with this.
