Did a recruiter make you send them a resume and still fill out all the same information on their website? Did a candidate send a cover letter that just says "PLEASE LET ME WORK HERE"? Tell us those stories!

Salesforce developer role for 45 thousand a year?

Interviewed for a Salesforce consulting position in Indiana. While I would still consider myself 'junior' in level, I do have about a year of experience. During initial screening I said that my floor was 75k a year and was assured that was the expected salary of the company as well. Went through screening interview, initial interview, and technical interview before being told that to 'sell me' to…

For the formerly long-term unemployed, what strategies or tips worked for you?

The end of September will be two years of unemployment for me, and almost three years of job searching. It's been a huge struggle this year to get through this and remain hopeful for something. I've taken part time jobs and gig work to have an income, although I'm still relying heavily on my savings. I have a freelance gig currently on my resume to help address the gap. I know my worth in the job…

As an external hire, I hate working for “company babies”

By “baby” I mean working under someone who’s only ever worked at that specific company. For example an intern who converted to full time and stuck around, or this was someone’s first company out the college and they just continued to climb the ladder. Let me just preface by saying, I don’t think there is anything inherently WRONG with being a company baby. Depending on your field or role it can…

Pays $18-20 hr and wants 3+ years

A staffing agency reached out to me and said the pay range was $18-20. I said that was too low. They defended the pay saying it was entry level 🤣 That is not even entry level pay. That’s not even INTERNSHIP LEVEL PAY. Are recruiters actively trying to play us like we’re stupid? I’m offended if you think I’m that dumb. This is a corporate role, btw. Also the job description they sent me says 3+…

I have been released from the chains of unemployment at long last

After countless job applications, nights spent studying companies and their “values”, and putting my all into interviews only to get an automated “After careful consideration” email, I finally got a job. They’re paying me decently, the people are mostly cool, overall I’m pretty stoked. It’s been real gang, good luck. submitted by /u/adderexxx [link] [comments]

How does one get an entry level role?

Someone help me understand. "Go to college!" I did. "Build a skillset with projects!!" I did. "Build experience with internships!!!" I did. "Get an entry level job!!!!" I tried. I get no interviews. "Relocate!!!!!" I'm willing. I apply country wide the best I can. No callbacks. "Get your resume looked at!!!!!!" I have. People's general sentiment is that it's about as good as it's gonna get right…

"While your experience is impressive..."

Is it just me or do rejection emails hit harder when they lead with "while your experience is impressive, we went with someone else". If my background was so impressive, why not give me the chance to at least have a first round interview so you can learn more?? submitted by /u/MoodieHippie [link] [comments]

If they're asking this on the application section maybe this isn't the job for me

Maybe I should mark all 7 days a week just to see if I get a call back lol This is for a regular corporate desk job btw. submitted by /u/Blue_Steel_415 [link] [comments]

I know there’s a lot of doom here, so here’s some hope and a bit of an uplifting story.

I work for a law firm and have been here for 10 years. We had a team of 8 people who had all worked together for that whole time, and we were all very close outside of work too. I genuinely loved working there until new management came in about a year ago and turned the place completely cold. In January, the company made 2 people redundant, including our boss. We were told to do more with less.…
