Has anybody here worked as a personal banker for Wells Fargo? I had a interview. Is it it worth taking if I get offered ? Anybody has experience working there

So my company has an opening for an internal position that really fits my background. I talked to my boss about it first out of respect. I’m one of his top performers and he said he’s happy that I’m trying to better myself and it’s a good opportunity for me. He actually went ahead and took some time to reach out to the hiring manager about me.

Now my question is do I reach out to the hiring manager and introduce myself as well? Do I just wait to hear back about the job? I’ve never went for an internal promotion so I’m not sure what would be appropriate and not seen as desperate or weird.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

So. I'm kind of in deep, hot water right now. I am 18, graduated high school, and as of the current moment, I am kind of swamped in Dental Debt, around 7-15k dollars. Personal problem that I shouldn't have let happen, I know, but we're talking as of the current moment.

The main problem is that I can't exactly afford it as of the current moment. Neither can my guardians, and they're willing to help me by selling things or getting another job, and frankly... I don't want them to do that. I love them a ton. So, I want to help by finally getting a job. But, I live in the middle of nowhere, can't drive anywhere on my own, and the only way I can work is from home, but those usually have steep requirements.

If anyone can give advice, please try and help me figure this out. Its my first time getting a job, and I could REALLY use the advice. Please and thank you. You have no idea how much advice would mean to me.

I was driving over to the company office for my third interview. When I got there, I was early so I stayed in my car to check my email. Lo and behold, I got a rejection email an hour before the scheduled time. I don’t mind getting rejected soon after the second interview, but to schedule the third one and reject me the day of. I’ve never heard of this happening before. Is this a common occurrence?

So I had an interview in Mid-March 2024. There were 12 interviews altogether. I know through a source that a couple of internal applicants already know the outcome (one was unsuccessful, one was put in a talent pool). They were told a couple of weeks ago. However I've still not received the outcome of my interview.

I emailed asking for an update a couple of weeks ago and was told that HR were short staffed which was resulting in a delay to the process, however they hoped to update me 'early next week' as they were still considering the assessment of all candidates. 'Next week' is now two weeks ago, and I got an email today apologising, restating that they are short of HR staff and that the process is going to be further delayed. It ended saying that I will be contacted in the next few weeks with an update.

Firstly, how do I read this? Loved ones keep trying to reassure me that 'no news is good news’.

Secondly, am I being overly sensitive at being frustrated and annoyed at the wait? I understand that they are short of staff, but surely they know at a minimum who they want by now? Also, I’d have thought they’d have more awareness that people applying might be going for other jobs and can’t wait months on end as they may be offered jobs by other companies in the meantime.

I really want this job so not knowing for this long is making me anxious. Should I be reassured that it’s not an ‘all out no’ so far?

Hello guys, I got the opportunity for a entry level fullstack software engineer opportunity and the Director of Technology has scheduled my first interview with him. The company is small. Less than 50 employees.

I'm wondering what I should expect? He didn't say anything about a technical round however he did say my skill set could be a great fit for the company.

The interview is 45 minutes.

I feel like i'm going in blind and would like some advice.

I started a 100% remote job 6 months ago, and things were going very well (or so I thought) until last month when my boss called me up out of the blue and told me I was being temporarily moved to a new team. We work with daily quotas, and up until then I had been meeting them without a problem. When I asked my boss why they were moving me, she said "you give me too much work to do and this team needs the help more." I've been on this new team since March 13, but I'm still reporting to my boss (I still have to go to her for my time off requests). They have been telling me that this change is just temporary until they hire someone new. They hired someone 4 weeks ago, and I'm still on this team. My current boss has started to ignore me. She's ignoring my time off requests, my emails, my messages, etc. She's been doing this for over a week. And the manager on this other team I'm on doesn't communicate with me either. I go weeks without hearing from anyone. I had to check in with the manager of this team I'm on to see what the plan is for next week, and all she said was that I needed to stay for a while longer. That's all. I was speaking to a coworker who is on the team I used to be on, and she said they have a lot less work to do now so they probably figured out they don't need me anymore. My husband says it sounds like they don't know what to do with me. I had a job I was fired from a few years ago where the manager completely ignored me for weeks, and then suddenly she let me go for no reason at all. I'm worried the same thing is happening here. What do you all think? I hope I'm just overreacting.

Does anyone know what Sterling background check process is like ?

I got laid off recently from my most recent job where I had been working for 2 years. The reason they mentioned for termination was that due to global market situation, they were downsizing the team. For the check at Sterling, they have asked for my HR contact.

Now my question is whether i should give the HR details or it can be anyone else from my team who can vouch for me. I haven't had much contact with this HR except for the termination process so I don't really know what they would say. I have reached out to the HR and they said they'll be on the lookout in case someone from Sterling calls. There's no bad blood here, however, I'm a little confused on what to do since the question asked specifically for HR/payroll contact details.

One more thing, the company that gave me an offer asked me if why I was looking for a new opportunity and I mentioned that I was trying to explore new tools and technologies. I was employed at the time of my application but got laid off before the first round of interviews and so I didn't bring the situation up on my own either, since I have had some recruiters react negatively even though this wasn't a performance based layoff. Would that be an issue since I'm now mentioning that as the reason for leaving current employer?

Would really appreciate your insights here.

I wasn’t hired, and I knew leaving the interview that I wouldn’t be. Anyways, the “unfortunately” email said that I shouldn’t hesitate to apply again in the near future because they’re always accepting applications. Is this standard practice?

I’ve had this job for around 2yrs and it’s been hell the entire time really. Terrible management, high stress, endless projects being dumped on me, and working other projects in addition to my regular workweek.

I’ve got another job (musician) on weekends that brings in about the same as this job by itself. Pretty consistent across most of the year. The summer will be busy and there will be a constant stream of income per week to stay comfortably afloat until approximately late October when things die down for a few weeks, pick up again for Christmas and then die for the first 3 months of 2025. This is the only time I'd worry! 6 months to that initial income break...

I really want to quit tomorrow and hand my 1 months notice. I've already had one interview this week for another job of similar salary and benefits. I had to fake a dental appointment to get the time off for this so I feel like I’m going to struggle to attend future interviews and find I'd be way more productive jobhunting if this current 9-5 hell was removed from my life. Situation: My fiancee and I rent, we have a 4yr old.

It's a unique case whereby I'm quitting my primary job to rely on a secondary line of income on a temporary basis. I can't find information on reddit specifically pointing to my situation, only situations whereby somebody has nothing lined up at all!!

Thoughts please??

I had an interview at Hibbetts Sports (shoe store) last Friday & I really want this job. the boss liked that I came prepared with written questions so I thought I made a good impression on her. the pay is low & bi weekly but I’ve been job searching since February & I really like the environment & it’s close to home. selling shoes is a cool ass job to me! she told me after the interview she’d be calling people she’s going forward with on Monday. I called on Monday & she said she was super busy & hadn’t called anybody yet. it’s almost Friday. I figured she’s just been super busy all week because it’s baseball season. how much longer do y’all think I should wait?

Just looking for a Job alongside uni.

​

Any improvments or changes I should add?

Thanks in advance!

I'm seeking an afternoon/evening job. I currently have a job and work 8-4. An employer whom I applied to for an evening shift contacted me for an interview the next day at 11am, I asked to reschedule for Friday and I'd be able to make it, they replied with "how about 12pm instead". How could have I handled this better?

Do you just sign it and assume it won't be enforceable, or is there a better course of action?

TLDR: I really like my current job but was offered a job that pays $35k a year more than I currently make should I take the job?

Hi all,

Firstly, thanks for reading this.

To start: I have been employed at my current job for 7 years. I work at a small, family owned architectural firm where I work as a technical designer ( I create the drawings) I do pretty well, but I certainly don’t make as much as I could and don’t make as much as others in my field. The capacity of the firm to increase my pay is limited due to its small size. I enjoy my work, I like my colleagues and the job is close to home. I am offered no benefits, other than we work half day on Friday’s every week and due to my length of service I have accrued approximately 5 weeks PTO. In my 7 year tenure at this firm, I have received 3 raises. I am a manager, and only answer to the owner of the firm. My opinion matters and is taken seriously, and I am often relied upon for resolutions to sometimes very complex problems. I get to pretty much come and go as I please, and find the job to be mostly easy and the work life balance is excellent.

In January, a close colleague was fired due to a slow down of workflow. When I was told of this decision, a remark was made stating “it was that person now or everybody in a month.” Obviously this remark left me feeling very uncomfortable, and uncertain of my own future. While I know most of our firms financial standing, there are certainly some things I do not know, as I am not apart of the ownership group.

During this period, I decided I should update my resume and portfolio in the event my future was being discussed without my knowledge. I found several interesting jobs in my field and casually applied not expecting to hear anything. Out of the blue, I was contacted by the company I applied to that I found the most interesting. We went through a rigorous interview process since my resume submission in January, and today April 22nd, I was finally offered the job. This job has an amazing health care package that is fully paid for by the company, a pension fully vested after 7 years of service, a 10% 401K match, flex start time, unlimited PTO, hybrid remote possible, the commute is about 4 miles further away than my current commute and IT PAYS $35,000 DOLLARS A YEAR MORE THAN I CURRENTLY MAKE.

It’ll come with a bit more responsibility of course and I will have people to answer to and it’s more corporate than I’m used to. I’m pretty happily currently employed, and enjoy some nice freedoms. I’ve helped build this company and it would be tough walk away. The money isn’t everything and this issue for me isn’t exactly black and white.

Please advise me on what to do…should I stay where I’m at, or get out of my comfort zone, take a risk and take the new job?

TLDR: I really like my current job but was offered a job that pays $35k a year more than I currently make should I take the job?

Hi all,

To preface this, this is my first job out of college. I started a couple months ago and it has been slow. I haven't really had any formal training either, (this is a corporate office). Everyone including my manager is busy, and when I ask people for work they are so bogged down by their own work that they don't have much for me. They have mentioned that I should find something in the company to fix, but I find that so vague that when i try to work on that, i end up scratching my head and not having any real conclusion from my research. My manager has been ok, but we really only talk once a half hour every week, he's very busy, and honestly I don't think he wanted to have a new grad employee as his responsibility. When I asked him how I ended up being placed in his team, he mentioned that he didn't ask for it and they let him know two weeks before I started I was going to be his employee.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a me problem. I've had an internship in college at a different company, and I ran into the same problem there too. At my internship my manager wasn't very interested in having me integrated with the team, and I spent my whole summer making slideshows that he looked at once at most. I tried to find my own work to do and find things within the team to help address, but it didn't make a difference to my manager. He did like me, so I'm pretty sure it's not a personality or competency thing on my part.

So now I'm at this crossroads where idk what to do. Is this just how corporate is in general? Should I just be happy collecting a check regardless? But at the same time I'm scared I'm going to be fired since I don't have many deliverables. Is it normal to not get any training in a corporate role? I'm appreciative of my job, but at the same time I feel like I'm not given a chance to be a good contributor to my team due to essentially 0 training. Is this how everyones early career starts?

I live in Europe and I started my career in marketing at a later age (I was 32). I found some interesting jobs and learned a lot, but didn't manage to keep one for long:

• My first two ones were temporary contracts and when they offered me to stay, the offer was a ridiculous freelance 200€ before taxes.
• I then found a job as SMM in a larger company, got laid off with the rest of the marketing team after 6 months due to change of ownership of the company.
• Next job, not in marketing. I was more like a personal assistant. The owner didn't pay me for 5 months, so I left.
• Following, travel company. A respected company but after one year covid came. My one year temporary contract wasn't renovated, they struggled until 2022.
• I later joined a start-up, a job I quite liked. I was mostly in charge of copywriting and product expert. It was a tiny niche I'm passionate about (raw vegan food). I worked there for 1 year and half, again as a freelancer with the promise of a contract but then the owner decided to terminate all consultancies - another disappointment.
• Last one, 3 months, in the most toxic company ever. After one month I discovered they hired me in secret to do the job of someone else, without telling them and without telling me that I was in such a tricky position. Basically I was hired as a power move to put pressure on another department. As my role wasn't actually needed and the department I was in didn't let me do the job, I was terminated 3 months later, during probation.

Now I'm 39, not in love with my job, didn't grow much in any of these roles, definitely self conscious at this point and not sure what I could do.

I don't mind freelancing, as long as the money comes in. Last week I found a small freelance social media job for a local business I was a client of, but it's only paying 400 eur before taxes.

I'm also decent at content creation and I am considering taking that route, but it sounds a bit of a delusional life plan.

ATM I have an associates' degree in marketing and a diverse set of skills (social media, copywriting, email marketing, translation, video editing, UGC). I speak two foreign languages fluently + two more at basic level. I'm quite knowledgeable in the food and nutrition field, music and in tourism. None of this proved to be high-paying so far.

I'm even open to a complete career change, provided it's an affordable path.

I'm starting being afraid of ageism. It's weird to be 40ish and have been 8 years in a field while only job hopping.

What would you do? How can I finally find some stability?

Thanks and, please, be kind.

I am about to graduate from college and start a new job in June. Tomorrow, I will have a 30-minute virtual coffee chat scheduled with my future supervisor and I would like to prepare for it. What should I prepare for this call? What questions should I ask? What do people usually talk about? I want to come across as enthusiastic and likable.

I’ve met the entire team except the big boss, with a total of 3 interviews (plus one HR phone screen).

They asked me to come in to the office in two weeks for a final round interview that will be a 1:1 60 minute interview.

I am assuming it’s with the big boss… how many candidates would you assume are involved in this round at this point?

Hi, i'm a first year college student who just got a job for the summer.

Do you guys have any tips to not get (for lack of a better word) screwed over by companies.

I've been trying to read through all the documents they're making me sign and i get the gist of it but i'm honestly a little terrified that there's going to be a tiny clause that says i now owe them my first born or smth like that. (i think one of them is an NDA)

Also what kind of documents are we allowed to send to other ppl? I sent my career advisor my offer letter bc she asked.

I would appreciate any general tips. Thank you!

Despite all the bad rep of recent years, calling masculinity toxic and so on, I really prefer working in teams that are mostly male. No hatred of women at all, just what I've preferred in previous non office jobs.

So, contrary to what most businesses attempt to hide, which office workplaces are more male dominated?

Got offer late friday last week and accepted first thing in the morning on Monday. Got response from the recruiter to expect onboarding emails immediately. Its late thursday now and still haven’t got anything. Is it normal? Should I be worried?

I was essentially offered my dream job by a woman who used to mentor me in an internship years ago. I reached out asking if they had any jobs available as I just got laid off recently and she has this job and she said I can basically have it if I want it.

She told me to speak to the owner of the company, her coworker, as I would be working more so for him than her. But she thinks it would be a great fit for this position.

I told her I was really interested. She put me in a group chat with the owner via text so that we could schedule a call with each other. He didn’t respond to me, the woman stepped in and asked if we had talked yet and I said no then he finally responded.

We were supposed to speak today at 11 AM. I called him. He did not answer and his voicemail box was full. I texted him on the side. I said I just gave you a call if there’s a better time to reschedule let me know blah blah blah.

He said, can I call you at 1 PM today instead? I said sure and he said great. I’ll talk to you then. He never called.

Now it’s two hours later and I’m wondering what to do now. The woman I know mentioned he was very hard to get in contact with and just overall an annoying person to deal with in terms of communication, but once you have attention, you have it 100% .

I’m wondering if I should reach back out today or tomorrow…. I’m not trying to be some annoying person begging for the job, but it is my dream job!

Help!!

I feel incredibly dumb and I believe this is why many jobs aren't even considering me. At least the city was correct but my zip code was for my old address 4 hours away. I applied to so many jobs on indeed, would it be wise to message employers about the mistake?

I recently got a job offer that is exactly what I’m looking for pay and title wise, and also fully remote. I have never heard of the company and was applying to everything on Indeed that sounded like a match based on job description/requirements.

The CFO is early 30s and super chill (work whenever as long as you get your 40 in) and despite controller title the position sounds more like an assistant controller. It sounds very relaxed and supportive which is so different from my recent companies. I was super excited, until I started digging into customer reviews. They sound a bit scammy (locking people into contracts, products are supplements so not FDA regulated) and reviews are either over the top 5 star or 1 star, nothing in between.

They have been around for over 10 years and they claim job security for the role… accounting is accounting so maybe this is the equivalent of taking a position at Amway or one of those other pyramid scheme type companies. I really want to take the job because I’ve been searching for so long… would I be wrong to go for it?

Graduating this May with a bachelors in engineering. Haven't found work in engineering, but I got offered a role at my part time job in management full-time making what is in my opinion low pay.

I guess what I wanna say is, how would a potential job view my management experience if its only 2-3 months of experience? I know I would have to explain why I'm job hunting in any potential interviews. Just curious on outside perspectives.

I'm sure this is a common post on this subreddit, but I cannot find a job at all. I was laid off from my first job out of college in May 2023 after having been there for a year. I went to a globally renowned college for my line of work (design).

It has been almost a YEAR without employment for me and it has been brutal looking for jobs. I have easily applied to over 700+ jobs through online application forms, emails, cold emails, and have secured around 20 interviews. I've made it to the second, third, even fourth rounds of interviews and then am either rejected outright or left on read despite numerous follow ups. I've even been rejected from a role that was a level below my previous role with a smaller salary. I can't even get a response for barista positions at random cafes.

I'm 25 years old right now and I fear that the longer this goes on the more unattractive of a prospect I'm going to be to potential employers. I feel as though I am massively lagging behind people my own age. My field is in Industrial/Product Design, and I also have done some Product/UI/UX/Digital Design. I know how to use all industry-leading softwares such as CAD. I've edited my resume countless times, often tailoring it to the specific role I'm applying for. I'm not sure what is up with the job market right now; a handful of my friends have also been without work for months upon months. I've reached out to my college career services to see if they have any resources/alumni networks that might be of use to me, but still nothing. I am currently living with my parents and they're growing tired of my situation (AS AM I). I just don't know what to do. The last thing I like to think of myself as is a quitter, but my god, it's just brutal. Has anyone been in/is currently in a similar situation? Thank you.

EDIT: I have tried looking in two job markets: NYC and London. NYC from May–October 2023 and London from October 2023–Present. (Dual citizen).
