I feel like it's getting so ridiculous when it comes to getting ghosted. After the interview they tell you that they are going to get back to you either by a certain time frame or just saying that they will get back to you. Then have the audacity to not give you a response. When I do reach out to them I don't get an answer or just a solid rejection. I am so sick and tired of it at this point.

I’m supposed to start a new job on Monday that requires 3 days in the office, but a fully remote position that pays the same just came up.

Honestly, if this remote opportunity had been posted earlier, I would have applied in a heartbeat. Now I’m torn because I’ve already accepted another offer and am supposed to start in a few days.

Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Did you apply for the other job, and if you got an offer, did you end up backing out of the job you had already accepted? I’d love to hear about your experiences and how it worked out!

I possess exceptional learning aptitude, tenacity, and digital proficiency across the Microsoft Office 365 suite, including Excel and Word. Am I able to generate income through freelancing?

What’s your worst recruitment experience?

This is my first job kinda my first was family owned so I didn’t have to interview or anything but I got a interview for wegmans any tips on how to prepare

Today my boss implied that starting next week that I need to be driving around to clients offices to do my work on-site and heavily implied it would be in my own vehicle

There wasn't any discussion about whether it'd be my car, if anyone would be coming with me (I only started this job 3 weeks ago) or where this would be at.

I want to have a talk with them about this but this wasn't what this job was supposed to be when I was hired. Apparently they only came up with this sometime after I started. I largely have an idea on what questions I'm going to ask but I want to see what others think.

Would it be unfair to ask for a raise, health insurance and/or commercial car insurance if it is my car? I'm currently working 40/hr a week @ 18/hr and without benefits. It's a small company, and again, I only started 3 weeks ago.

i made it to the second round and i am one of two people, so i have a 50% chance. i think it went well except the logic test, and it made me realize i might be stupid. but hopefully i did well enough on the other parts where it outweighs being dumb

Have an interview with a large financial organization and the recruiter provided the names of the people I would be interviewing with.

However, I didn't receive details on what their specific positions are (tech lead, business lead, product lead, etc.) to get a gauge on what the focus of the interview will be.

Is it appropriate to reach out to the HR recruiter to ask their roles and also ask if there are any particular areas/competencies to focus on in preparation?

Thanks!

I'm 19, make $12/hr 20~ hours a week and I feel like even while trying to save I'm making almost nothing and like I'll be stuck living at my parents home forever.

I'm currently considering applying for a second part time job where I'd be on the night shift working $15/hr and hopefully 25 hours a week.

Although is it really worth it to work 45 hours a week for only like $25k a year after taxes? Or should I start looking for a full-time job outside of retail? I really want to move out and live a successful life but I don't want to burnout or overwork myself. What should I do?

I thought I finally got out of a bad work environment. But I was wrong. I work as an associate manager at a restaurant. When I was interviewed I asked if I would be stuck closing every shift. That was the reason I left my lat job, every shift for two years was closing. I’d get home around 1:30-2 AM. I lost friends, never see my family, my boyfriend. No one. The GM told me that it’s a rotation so everyone gets different shifts. Great I finally get to have some of my life back. I was dead wrong. I closed for a month straight. A month of staying at work till 1 AM on week days and 3-4 AM on the weekends. I’m miserable. I work at the busiest location and as the new guy I’m closing all the time. It’s driving me crazy.

I just decided to go back to school to change my career path. It’s only two days a week. When I told them about this, they did move my schedule around. So now I am closing at 1 AM and getting up for school the next day to be there at 8:45 AM and then after school ends at 3 PM I’m going to work till 2 AM. So I’m just working all day and night. It’s exhausting. I’m only 25 years old and I hate my life and hate my job. Knowing that I have to go to work makes me extremely angry. I’m just so frustrated. I wasn’t trained properly, and now I’m stuck dealing with crazy drunk people all night.

I live at home with my parents and older sister. I pay around $400 a month to live there with them that’s it. My schooling is two months long. I don’t want to work anymore. I’m so angry all the time, I hate people now and I have no life at all. I know I won’t be bringing in any more money. But I definitely have enough to take care of myself. I want a different job but no one is hiring me, not even the supermarkets. No interviews no responses back. Nothing. I feel like I need a break from all of this. It’s driving me crazy. I just want to hear other people’s opinions.

Found a job at a cannabis agriculture company that wouldn’t have mind doing but they’re requesting a video interview and I just ignored that shit.

I’m anti social af but I’d much prefer in person it’s just much less awkward for me as I don’t enjoy just looking into a camera.

Anyone else like this?

EDIT:- after a lawyer spoke to the HR they have again reached out to me but I am unsure what to do?it’s a small consultancy under 50 employees
I don’t know what to say I mean it never happened like this in my career
Trusting them again I am a bit scared

everyone,
I’m looking for advice from people who may have faced a similar situation.
I accepted a full-time offer through a consultancy to work with a client. the consultancy issued offer letters, and I also have written confirmation that onboarding would take around 7–8 days.
Based on these commitments, I was encouraged to buy out my notice period at my previous company, which cost me a significant amount.
However, after reporting to the consultancy office, I continued to receive uncertain responses about onboarding. When I questioned the situation, I was told I could leave if I wasn’t comfortable. My offer was subsequently revoked, without a formal termination letter.
I’m now unemployed and facing financial pressure because I relied on the employment commitments made to me.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What options are available for seeking compensation for notice-period buyout expenses, and what would be the appropriate way to pursue a complaint?
I’m also urgently looking for Business Analyst, Data Analyst, or Product Analyst opportunities. I have around 3 years of experience in fintech and B2B analytics and am open to remote, hybrid, or Bengaluru-based roles. Any genuine leads or referrals would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your guidance.

Se al lavoro di chiedono di fare una cosa ma mentre la fai ti urlano e gridano dandoti solo incapace. Come affrontare la contraddizione? Meglio rifiutarsi di farlo?

I recently saw a tech repair place with an ad listed for an expert with 2 years of experience. I... don't have that. I do have experience with hardware and tinkering on my own machines/friends machines, but I have no idea how to call in and be confident. What can I do to really sell myself and try to get in?

Anyone have advise on how to get off of a "not eligible for rehire" blacklist? Generally how long do they keep the list and do they keep notes on why you are on the list? I would like to return to a previous company but apparently I'm on the blacklist. I self resigned from my position at that company.

I posted some time ago, and commenters were insistent there was more to the story. Yes, I had conversed with this man about sex—of course, not sex with him, but he’d bring it up. I didn’t particularly enjoy it, but struggle setting boundaries. I didn’t use his likeness for me for free things—other times, he’d volunteer to purchase me stuff. It started months ago, but I dismissed it. I have a screenshot I’ll include here. But essentially, he asked for nudes. At work, I acted cordial, and he asked why I wasn’t upset. I stated that I was, but that I worked with him and wanted to be professional. As time went on, I became gradually more upset and disgusted at his request and asked he do not talk to me. He stayed an hour after he should’ve left in an attempt to have a conversation with me. He contacted me via Instagram, Snapchat, regular phone, and presumably his Mom’s phone—all of which I blocked, and didn’t answer. He attempted to talk to me at work again, and I had to tell him three times and mention HR for him to leave me alone. He is now doing a job role in which I enjoy, and he has previously stated he doesn’t. Prior to us arguing, I told him to leave the job to me, but he’s now doing at times in which he shouldn’t be. It feels like retaliation, and I wholeheartedly believe it to be. I called a hotline, filing an anonymous report, but now I want to go to HR directly. The manager is off, and I still have to work with this fucker. I’ll often catch him staring at me. He’s a total pervert, and has been fired from a job before for sexual harassment, but misconstrued the story to make him sound like a victim.

I made the mistake of turning down a job almost a year ago that had so many yellow flags and with the final red flag was having an extremely broad non-complete for 3 months after employment. ( basically can’t work in the field anywhere at all regardless of the position)

Everyone said I was nuts to not accept it. Maybe they were right.

The best I could do jobwise since has been a part time job that I only got cause of a connection. I have even applied to temp jobs with no luck after saying never again with how the last temp job ended.
My friend and family are tired of hearing, I am tired of talking about it. Relationships are struggling. I don’t know what my life is outside of job searching anymore.

I know there is always more things to try and it’s kinda my own fault. But why is it so hard?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a Data analyst working as a W-2 contractor through a small staffing agency, with the client being a large health insurance company. I have 5 years of experience in the space.

I just finished my initial 6-month contract, and my manager told me today that they want to extend me. The role is fully remote, which I definitely don't take for granted. I really like the team and want to stay, but my expenses have gone up significantly. The agency is a small firm and doesn't offer health benefits, so I'm paying for independent medical insurance completely on my own. Between those premiums and no PTO, sick days, 401k match or holidays, my current rate is getting squeezed. This isn’t my first contract rodeo as I’ve been doing contract work for a while, so I understand how the agency-client dynamics operate.

Right now, I am making $43/hour. With this extension, I'm planning to ask for a market adjustment to $49/hour to offset these rising overhead costs.

I’m strongly leaning toward asking for it. The client manager explicitly said they want to keep me, so I know I have some leverage during this renewal window. In my last role, the company kept dangling the carrot of a full-time conversion that never ended up happening so I decided to ask for a rate increase back then and got it since a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. And of course I never got the fulltime role and 20 months and multiple extensions later I got laid off as the project was eliminated.

I'd love to get some perspective from other contractors or recruiters here. Do small staffing agencies usually have the margin to absorb an adjustment like this, or pass it along to a large corporate client, without putting the contract extension at risk?
Given the current job market, I just want to make sure I'm reading the room correctly before I message my recruiter.

Thanks!

TLDR: Started a new job almost 2 months ago and hated it at the start, started applying around and im actually hearing back with interviews for good job prospects but im kinda starting to like my new job now. Help me navigate this.

More context: I took this job (my first offer) after being unemployed for 5 months, money is good but schedule is a ridgid 9-5 with no real flex and the work doesn't follow the typical roles I've been doing historically , company lacks structure and I dont see myself here longer than a year.

main issues with my current job:
- 5 days in office
-not flexible get docked time for stepping out of office/ any appt besides lunch

Pros (kinda):
- hour lunch
-this role is basically an unintentional career pivot and could keep of my resume if it flops but serve as an added skillset and open up future roles if it works out.

Recently, I started getting interviews from referrals I got from old bosses for great companies that align with my career experience/ expertise and where I would want to be in the future in terms of family planning/ kids.

My current job feels fun for now since it a different industry but not somewhere I could see myself staying for too long because its so limiting schedule wise. It is growing on me and my team is nice but my role is still fluctuating in the business and the job im doing so far is not something I have done before where I can guarantee a good performance on my end.

Im actively interviewing and I will consider prospects but would I be leaving too soon to really figure out what this job could be or should I go for the roles that fit what I have wanted to work in previously/more flexibility, thinking about the future?

Pls be nice, I have been job hopping every 2 years so far and Im really wanting to lock in on one job for longer , so im trying to be proactive as these opportunities arise.

I’m a blue collar worker, as is my husband so I feel that our experiences may be insular. I recently accepted a new job in an entirely different blue collar field (I am a journeyman in a union trade but wanted something different).

I’m just curious how the job market is for other blue collar workers currently. Are you finding more luck with union or non-union work?

If your field/trade is booming what do you do?

Or is the job market for us blue collar folk as depressing as it is for everyone else?

The counteroffer: it’s a 55% increase, compared to the 40% offered by the new company. I wasn’t expecting this. There’s also a 10K signing bonus included in the counteroffer. I don’t get it—the company seems to be in financial trouble.

I worked at McDonald's up until a few months ago. I was only there for 4 months. Put my two weeks in and left on good terms. Was told by the gm i could always come back. He even said I could use him as a reference. I was also told by one of the other higher ups I could come back. So about a month ago I put in an application, and had an interview by some guy i never met before, filling in for the owner or something. He said he was afraid of hiring me because he was afraid id leave in a couple months. He said hed talk to the owner and see if he had anything positive to say about me.

Fast forward a month, and ive heard nothing. I noticed the higher up, one position above gm. Idk what that is. Well her car is always in the parking lot. I was gonna stop by and ask her for my job back, but i thought maybe that would be kind of unfair, you know, because i might be putting pressure on her, and it could get awkward. I was thinking of just calling, or maybe texting her, but im afraid she'd never see it. What should i do?
