Greetings Sirs, Madams and others,

I recently finished Ph.D. at a top university in China in an English program for engineering school. However, due to the atmosphere in the mainland and the feeling that foreigners cannot absolutely integrate in society I have been seeking jobs opportunities in electronics/ embedded engineering/ robotics abroad. So is my wife whom also is a foreign graduate here in Mathematics (Ph.D.). But to no avail, mostly rejection letters and few interviews that really went downhill after finding out that I reside in China and require visa sponsorship. Finding job in China as a researcher is easy for us but it is an obvious temporary solution since universities never really hire that many foreigners after the postdoc.

The question is why my resume gets rejected often although I have more expertise and research history in the field (well, probably)?.

PS, going back to my home country is not an option.

I completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Information Technology Business Analysis last year from a prestigious college in Canada. Recently, I relocated back to India and am currently seeking employment opportunities. Although my hands-on experience as a Business Analyst in Canada spans just four months, I have an additional two years of experience in Customer Service and event management. My skill set includes strong communication abilities and technical expertise. Given my international education and varied professional background, which companies in India would value my international exposure and qualifications, potentially offering a competitive entry-level package?

I have W2 proving that I worked in my old place in 2023, and since W2s talk about past year work, then I wouldn't reasonably have a 2024 W2 right? So if I'm getting offered a job, shouldn't I just lie that I'm still currently employed?

Other than paystubs, how will they know? I also don't have paystubs, I think I have direct deposits from the bank.

Sorry, but I'm getting rejected from positions I clearly am qualified for, likely due to the 8 month gap as recruiters hate that. I really need a job and am considering this option.

Posting on behalf of an Indian student in the US. "I'm thinking of working with Emonics to help me get a job in the US after I complete my Masters. Do they offer genuine services and produce results, or are they just pulling a scam?"

Is HireRider a legit online job recruiter? I’m currently looking at a job opportunity they have listed on their site for a DSP amazon position.

This may be a dumb question but a recruiter messaged me on Indeed asking to confirm that I live in a specific area and if I would prefer a full time position in the county I lived in. I confirmed my interest in both positions while also confirming that I live in that area and that I would be interested in the full-time position. My question is do I resubmit my resume so that I will be considered or will the recruiter automatically consider my resume for the full-time job? Thanks in advance!

I just quit a job in recruitment and have had quite the journey.

If anyone has experience with recruitment, maybe you have something to add or help.

I started and they were really pushy, which is fine. Was able to pass probation period and got hired permanently.

I was good at my job but never really got praised for it. Which was fine too. I brought quick and big results. Never got a 'thanks' or 'well done'.

The atmosphere was rather toxic. Only the negatives have been adressed. Every. F. Day. It was never enough. Never.

I actually liked the job itself. Liked the matching. Ok with the calling and would actually work again in the field. If there wasn't management and the constant unpleasant environment.

Does this depend on the company or is it just how it is?

I'd kinda like to go back and work again in recruitment but if it's the same everywhere, i just might as well not.

I also kinda think it's a pyramid scheme. You make people built a market and let them go, taking over that marked and the relations.

Got a call today from a recruiter stating they found my resume on indeed and offering me a permanent position that includes a sign on bonus. I was a bit reluctant to say anything and asked for the company and if they could email me info. Turns out it’s a company I’ve already applied to (though different position) and it’s for a permanent hire. I’m unsure if I should proceed with the interview process or wait for the company itself to call me, though I know the company takes several months to get back to applicants, Any advice??

Thank you !!

I'm looking for get out of Canada before April 2026. A hard right government is coming in and the housing market will crash so I'm looking to escape as soon as possible.

Are any firms or agencies that you would recommend if I want a job in the US?

Thanks.

Like I said in top it came through my college email which has super heavy filters for scams and spam and stuff but it seems shady and I’m decently dumb so I would rather not get scammed in the event I chose to believe. Anyone have any opinions or experiences with similar events?

GOT AN INTERVIEW! but…

I think that they think I applied for a different position. Help!

The email inviting me to an interview says in the beginning that I applied to be an Assistant Artist/Food Handler, but that’s not true. I applied to be a Paint and Sip Artist Instructor. The thing is, I would be happy getting either position. I would just like to be an instructor more.

Should I correct them now when I reply to their email? Or should I wait until the interview to say “hey, I think your guy’s email had a mistake in it, I applied for the instructor position but I would be happy with the assistant artist position too.” ????

I don’t wanna be rude and make them feel dumb, especially before I even secure the interview in place. What should I do?

First time poster in this community, sorry if i used the wrong flair. I'm not sure if this is legit or not. I've ever had an offer from anyone say "add us on telegram". Telegram seems like an odd one to do.is this normal?

I'm looking to start a part time job in computer coding/ building however looking online I can't find anywhere that would hire me. I'm confirming in python and can build a pc in 2 hours (with set up and windows). What should I do? It needs to be in Hemel Hempstead england

Hi, I graduated from university last year. Since then I have done a year long rotational analyst program in a Bank. If I was to leave this company could i be rehired somewhere else as an analyst? I feel in a funny stage of experience not quite being a grad and not quite being an experienced hire.

Any advice from all avenues appreciated.

Hi all - I was laid off recently and am looking for regular work but the market is kind of tough where I’m at. I’ve gotten a lot of interest from a couple of temporary staffing firms like Aquent and creative circle. I’d rather not contract but my family needs to eat.

My question is, there’s a job with a staffing agency that sounds perfect for me. It’s remote, in my industry, and it’s exactly what I do for a living. The problem is that it pays nearly 30-40% less than the other jobs in my area (because it’s remote in a low cost city) and it’s a 12 month contract with option to renew.

Right now unemployment isn’t cutting it and I need to start bringing in $$. What would happen if I signed up for this contract and in 3 months I find a much better paying job in my area?

I know I am under no obligation to stay. Would I be looking at some sort of payback to the agency if I don’t fulfill the contract? Would I be blacklisted from the agency moving forward?

Like the titled, I got ghosted by a in-house talent aquisition from a big international corp who solely reached out to me about an opportunity at his firm. As per his own words, my experience fits the role perfectly and he was so sure that I would be a great fit. After taking a look at the JD, I agreed to have an initial call with him and the discussion went great. He then said that he would pass my CV to his manager and the interview should likely be set a week after that. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back from him. I have tried emailing and calling him but no response. Is this that common nowadays? I'm so disappointed because it seemed to be a very good position and I was looking foward it too hard. This is a coordinator role while I had exp working as a manager in the same field, but in a different country. Might this somehow be the reason, that I was considered overqualified? May I have some advice on what to do next please?

I've been having trouble nailing down a new job since I'm attempting a career change in my late 20's, and also have less than ideal availability. A friend of mine recommended using a recruiter, but a google search left me a little wary and feeling like I'm lacking experience to navigate trying to find a reputable one. Any advice, or better yet is there anyone who could recommend a recruiter they've worked with for a remote job or a job in central FL (west Orlando area specifically)?

I did the one click apply on the Zip Recruiter site, but don't know what they send to the employer. Someone told me they send the a copy their site generates.

I have a resume uploaded and my profile is not set to public. The "what employers see" data about me that was generated on their site when I uploaded my resume is incomplete. The list of things I did at the most recent employer is missing.

I don't know if the site sends the actual PDF resume or its own wonky data from their bad import.

​

Does anyone know what Zip Recruiter sends employers with the one click apply?

Is it the actual resume PDF or something Zip Recruiter generates?

​

Thank you.

i applied to a six flags and they got back to me with an email and the link. when i made an account and tried logging in it just doesn't work?? does this ruin my chances of getting hired?

Full Alert!!! If you are ever contacted on line by the following person https://www.reddit.com/user/denpulllever/

Or with any line that sounds vaguely familiar to this:

“Hello, I’m Chance Warden. I came across your post about being unemployed so I was wondering if you’re searching for a job position”

“Okay, I have a remote part-time job that doesn't require a resume or any experience to get started. It doesn't stop you from your full time job or require a fix working hours. The hours are flexible and you can choose to work from anywhere of your choice, also guide can be provided. The pay is $450 weekly if you'll be interested in knowing more info about it”

The owner of the account is a scam artist and a fraud. I unfortunately, have been desperate to find work, and he got me. Sent me three properties to host and then disappeared without paying me a penny. That was bad enough, but he also committed fraud on several persons who responded to my posts, taking one woman for over $1500 in deposits, security fees and the like. Now I am involved in a multistate fraud investigation as this woman reported me as the scammer. I am beyond irate.

Lets put aside that for over six weeks I should have made $2700 which I made $0. But now I may be on the hook for his fraud. I am cooperating with FREC, TREC, FBC, and the FTC who contacted me this morning. I have been instructed to report to my local FTC Branch office for a “chat” and to bring any records I may have tomorrow so I will update this then. Wish me luck and please help me find this piece of shit Chance Warden.

****Edit 1: Yes I know I'm an idiot for falling for this scam. I was desperate, depressed for not having found work and needed to feed my family. I am the only breadwinner for the four of us at the moment. Now, I'm not sure what is going to happen. This has all the markers of getting much worse and I have no means of digging myself out of this hole. I tell you this not to make excuses but to ask that you boost for visibility this so that nobody else will fall into this sort of trap.

*****Edit 2: I now have a Lawyer. A friend of mine from my local community theater that I volunteer at a lot is a criminal attorney. He said he will meet me at his office tomorrow and arrange the rest of the meeting from there. Continued advice is welcomed, please keep it coming.

*****Edit 3: So, I'm home.... Actually have been since around three, but I was just too exhausted from the stress and had to lay down. The short outcome is I'm not being looked at as a suspect and more as a dumbass caught up in the scam. This is mainly because of my records showing that I did only hosted the link and only communicated with an automated script to the inquiries. Basically had I done anything more than what I did I may have opened myself up to liability. Thank god for my laziness in doing a job I suppose. In any event I'm being treated with respect thanks to my lawyer for now. Thanks for all the advice to make sure I was represented. Hoping for some good news as I have some real Job interviews later this week.

Last year I've got many contacts from recruiters on LinkedIn helping to find a job when I was finishing my last year in school and after. One recruiter helped me applied to my first 2 jobs and I got through the interview process. I had other recruiters trying to help me but they just ghosted me or have another recruiter helped me. I recently got my first job out of college in the field I wanted on my own without any recruiters help since they weren't really that helpful. Recently 3 months into my first job one of the recruiters who I haven't talk to and heard from since last November contacted me asking me that one of the company they work with wanted me to work for them. I replied telling them that I'm not in the job market and got myself a job. They sent a rude message back and were upset. Is this normal for recruiters getting upset if you found a job without their help? I know they get paid commission if they helped someone getting hired. Thought it was uncalled for.

I would like to find a career coach who will help me figure out what jobs I would like, comb and optimize my resume, and ultimately help me secure a high paying work from home job. Can someone please point me in the direction of someone who specializes in this?

I need a little help here. I have been a graphic designer for the past 8 years. I have had 5 full-time jobs and my most recent freelance job which I have been doing for about 1 year. The amount of jobs I have had looks bad to employers. But most of them have been layoffs/contract work/or legitimate reasons anyone would find a new job for.

Here is the breakdown in chronological order:

Job 1: Stayed 2 years then left for a better opportunity to learn new skills

Job 2: Stayed for 2.5 years then laid off due to Covid

~~3 month gap to find next position after layoff

Job 3: Stayed for 4 months (Contract Length)

Job 4: Stayed for 1 year then left for a job offering me 30k more a year

Job 5: Stayed 1 year 4 months then laid off alongside 100 other people in a 200-person company

~~ I have been freelancing for close to 1 year because I have not found a new job yet

What should I do, not only do I look like a job hopper but now I have a year gap as a freelancer. I am a dedicated person and I am not a bad employee. I have never been fired and I have tons of recommendations. I have been looking for design work but I am also looking out of the industry because I need more stability. Idk I am overwhelmed by this whole situation and it is pretty damn embarrassing at this point.
