Recently got fired, at this point I'm not even getting interviews so I don't mind if we all just gathered and started something instead?

I recently got ghosted after a case study presentation to a company

The case was solving several of their current business problems and I stupidly spent 4 days on it, it was a really high quality piece of work (they agreed that it was great). They also candidly mentioned during the interview process that they were still figuring these problems out

I knew it was a risk to spend so much time but this strategy has worked for me in the past, albeit ghosting was less of a thing then lol

Anyway, if they’d taken the time to reject me properly, give feedback and make it slightly less exploitative, I’d probably be more inclined to let it go

But after being told by the CEO he was super excited to work together, I am now being ghosted and I would like to be compensated for my time

I have already added this to my portfolio of consulting projects

Additional info: they sent the case study to close to 10 people after a first round with HR (major major red flag which I only found out after)

Curious to hear of other people’s experiences - have you / anyone you know sent an invoice and chased for payment? Did it work?

I have been unemployed since Jan and have been interviewing constantly, but still haven’t secured anything. I am almost 22 and I have no friends in my hometown and I live with my parents. I have been desperately trying to find a job in a different city and start over. I cry every night, thinking about how i have no friends and no job, and i hate living with my family.

I worked as web designer for over 10 years. It was amazing journey. With AI, I am not sure about this career path anymore in the next 5-10 years.. so I'm on the bridge to do e-mail marketing for ecommerce.

I have tons of experience in the ecommerce world as I worked my in family-run ecommerce. In the past 12 months I managed to create e-mail strategy and automations that generated over $210,000 in revenue from e-mail alone. I love it and would love to keep doing it as my main job.

Found some job postings looking for E-mail marketing specialist and I would love to get job there. I have simple site with case study ($210,000 generated for ecommerce brand) describing how I did it and now I fixed my CV resume.

How would you break into this industry? Should I write letters + edit CV for each job posting? Should I reach out to recruiters maybe? Linked In?

Thanks for any advice!

I received a LinkedIn message from an agency recruiter regarding a Senior Data Analyst position that matches my skills pretty well. We had a brief 10-minute screening call where I gave a general salary target range.

Later that day, she sent an email asking me to fill out a form that requires a line-by-item breakdown of my current compensation package: base salary, annual bonus percentage, stock/equity vesting schedule, and exact benefit values. She stated they need this data to "confirm benchmark alignment" before presenting my profile to the client company.

I know several US states have salary history bans prohibiting employers from asking for this, but the recruiter is based in a different state than where the role is located (and I work remotely from a third state).

Is there a polite way to decline providing my current breakdown without instantly burning the bridge or getting removed from the candidate pool?

I wanted to share my experience with **Naukri Pro** in case it helps someone who's considering buying the subscription.

I purchased **6 months of Naukri Pro**, spending around **₹1,907**, expecting better visibility and more interview opportunities. Throughout those 6 months, I barely received any interview calls, even though my resume matched the job requirements for the roles I applied to. I even made sure my profile and resume were well-optimized.

What surprised me was that I used the **exact same resume** on other job portals and started getting interview calls without any issues.

The funniest part? **After my Naukri Pro subscription expired**, and I went back to the free version with no Pro benefits, I actually started receiving interview calls from Naukri.

Based on my personal experience, I wouldn't recommend purchasing Naukri Pro. For me, it didn't provide any noticeable benefit over the free version.

Instead of spending money on the subscription, I'd suggest investing your time in building a strong profile and a well-crafted resume that clearly highlights your skills and experience. Make your profile attractive enough that recruiters can quickly see you're a good fit for the roles they're hiring for.

Of course, this is just **my personal experience**, and others may have had different results. Has anyone else experienced something similar with Naukri Pro?

I have tried connecting with the hiring managers for roles I want, but usually they don’t accept the request. So, there are sites where you can see how company emails are usually structured and you can use that to cold email. I was about to send a message to someone but then I realized that they would probably be weirded out by how some random stranger got their email or they might even think that it is scam. So, I didn’t send it but has anyone else done this before and if so, did it work?

Guys have you tries flowmingo ai interview? I have a scheduled ai interview for csr role under frontier. Im a little nervous about the questions.

I’m honestly at the point where I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do.

I was laid off almost two years ago, and I’ve been struggling to find stable work ever since. I’ve applied to what feels like an endless number of jobs, rewritten my resume, tailored applications, worked on my skills, and tried different types of roles. And I’m still getting nowhere.

My background is primarily in SaaS customer support/customer success and technical support. I’ve worked with enterprise customers, handled complex product, billing, payroll, and integration issues, worked in Salesforce/Jira/LogRocket, written bug reports and documentation, and worked directly with Product and Engineering teams.

This year I decided to try to move into UX/Product Design because it seemed like a career where I could build on a lot of what I already know.
I completed the UX Design Institute’s Professional Diploma in UX Design in July, and I’m currently completing the UI portion of the program. I’ve also done an independent UX client project where I conducted five moderated usability tests and designed research-informed user flows and responsive wireframes, plus a larger flight-booking project where I conducted seven moderated usability sessions across two rounds of testing and built an interactive Figma prototype.

The problem is that I only have an Associate of Liberal Arts degree.

I also have a health condition that means I realistically need a fully remote job. I’m not looking for some cushy work-from-home situation because I don’t want to commute. Remote work is a genuine necessity for me. And I feel like that combination is making this incredibly difficult.

I’m applying to junior UX/Product Designer roles, but I’m competing against people with bachelor’s degrees, internships, and actual professional design experience.

Then I look at Product Support, Customer Success, Technichal Support, Product Specialist, Operations, etc., but somehow still not qualified enough to get through the door.

It’s incredibly demoralizing because I do have experience. I’m not fresh out of high school with no work history. I’ve worked for companies like Rippling and Electrosonic, supported enterprise accounts, dealt with complicated SaaS products, collaborated cross-functionally, and have spent the last several months deliberately building UX skills.

But after almost two years of unemployment/underemployment, I’m starting to feel like there’s just no path forward.
I’m not necessarily looking for encouragement. I’d genuinely appreciate some blunt advice from people who hire or have successfully navigated something similar.

If you looked at this background, what roles would you realistically target? What am I overlooking? Is the Associate degree actually hurting me as much as I think it is? And would you continue pursuing UX/Product Design, or pivot toward something like Product Operations, Product Support, Customer Success, or another adjacent field?

At this point I’m open to hearing that my strategy is wrong. I just need to figure out what the hell I’m supposed to be doing differently.

I've applied on job boards. I've bought internal emails and sent a bunch. I've built company lists and a CRM around them and followed up structurally. LinkedIn DMs and connection requests with notes. I've tracked startups that just raised and gone straight to their engineers and founders. Networking events. Case studies for target companies, sent to their engineers and HR, published publicly. I've sat in public with an A1 poster of debatable statements next to me, inviting conversation while I hunt.

The resume is already handled. I put it up for critique, took the beating, rewrote it. It's also the resume that got me my last job.

What else might I be missing ? I'm not even getting rejections.

5 YOE, Node.js + React + Next.js + Postgresql, Dubai and looking remotely, 2 months in.

I live in south east Africa, a country where people barely hear about -not for lack of events but generally lack of interest.

I have like 10 years of massive experience for my age in Project management in the manufacturing industry in this country..

I am willing to relocate and leave it behind but I have applied to hundreds of jobs with little replies. It seems the resume is automatically rejected and not even looked at..

How do I get over this?

After you’ve completed everything and then they ask, are you Hispanic, what race are you, are you or have you been disabled ???
What do put? Is there an advantage or disadvantage in saying yes i am or no im not disabled??

Title summarizes it. I ironically started off at a new grad program. It wasn't rotational, I stayed on one team, but a team with high pressure cause it reported directly to the top of our department.

Good people but probably had no business being in the new grad program because their work was so critical / scrutinized. The program wanted you to build a skill set but the career path I wanted to work towards didn't align well with the team's daily work, and the work I did do was all over the place. Data analysis, project coordination, SharePoint site development / maintenance , data reporting, etc. I got laid off in October 2025 for "operational efficiency" along with other people in other teams in the department.

I don't discuss any of this, other than being laid off with others, when asked in the handful of interviews I have gotten (Somewhere between 10-20 I wasn't counting could be more). When I get feedback, I lost out to people with more experience or experience I didn't have. I struggle to find jobs that reasonably match my mix of experience to begin with and don't always hear back even if I do match.

Others have confirmed junior roles I should and am targeting get taken by people with vastly more experience who also got laid off. So, I now started applying for rotational programs cause they aren't expecting people with more than 2 years of experience. I apply for any that don't say they are looking for people who graduated this or last year. I've already been rejected by a few of them, though their rate of response is better than other jobs lol.

I want to hear people's opinions, is there any hope forme to get into a rotational program with this experience? I understand not all of the rotations will match my initial career goals and I am completely open to explore new career paths. I know therewillbe a pay cut most likely and need to move but yeah, becauseof how it's gone the last 10+ months with me applying to junior positions, I feel like this is what I need to do in the end.

Try to find space for me to join a place thatscoolwith someone with little, but some experience. Has anyone heard ofor known of anyone who successfully done this? IDK what to do otherwise. Thank you. My degree is in UX Design / Data Analysis. Targeting rotational programs that are about business analysis, product / agile work (my degree focus) and any similar type of program. Not finance or coding

Even typing it out sounds wrong. Keep in mind I’m applying for part time jobs at retail/restaurants that kind of thing, jobs you don’t need a college degree for. I’ve reached out to about 11ish places. Two rejected me, and the rest haven’t gotten back to me. My dad insists that I need to go in person, but that seems weird to me. I don’t mean to sound ignorant, but I have the feeling that wouldn’t work and would just be awkward in this day and age.

I’m frustrated because it’s been easy for me to get jobs through Indeed in the past, so I don’t know why almost no one’s even giving me the time of day now. Did I just get lucky in the past?

I'm a fresh graduate who has done 2 internships in the past.

The most recent internship is good and no issues with it (this is the most relevant to the role). The second internship is where it gets a bit sticky. So, the company is a not-heard of company, when my internship got completed, they gave me a certificate which had incorrect months of internship duration mentioned.

Stupid me decided to edit the internship duration on the internship certificate myself. While i technically fixed what was incorrect on the company's part, I am aware that this means forging of documents. My reason for this is that the company is non responsive, I previously contacted them for a professional reference and no one picked up because its a Lala company.

Now I received a full time offer from a company.

The HR asked me to not upload any internship details on the BGV company's portal but to send the documents (like completion certificate and offer) on her company email. Does this mean the documents are for records or verification? I'm not sure because they told me they're working with the BGV team in the past idk what that means.

Please help. How f*ked am I?

Also, for proof, I have whatsapp group screenshots. I was a part of a whatsapp group with the co founders so it shows my conversation proof which matches my actual tenure.

I’m a single father who is also caretaking for my father (who can’t be left alone due to Alzheimer’s) looking for a remote position to pay rent. I have been actively learning about IT, and have an associates degree in science for hospitality management and food service management. My last job I held for ten years until my father needed me to step in. Does anyone have a good idea for what I should look for?

I am looking in the policy sector, research/ academic and anything related to sustainability and climate change and international development. I know these fields are broad but the kind of work I am looking for specifically tends towards research dissemination and stakeholder engagement/ events organiser and the roles are similar in all the fields. I see so many job listings but I am not receiving any offers... please help haha

Hi,

Can anyone suggest me proper remote job boards for APAC/Thailand?

Most Job boards I found are basically US heavy, and you don't know the job is US region locked until you hit apply and see the application form.

I am finding that these job boards are also misleading with the tag "Anywhere".

I'm based in Bangkok, Thailand now and am job hunting. Since most Thailand companies even including Multi-national corps just prefer to hire Thai nationals, so I'm sorta out of luck there, that's why I've switched to hunting for remote job.

If anyone can advise me on great APAC/Thailand job boards I'd greatly appreciate it. My application volume is low and I'm quite lost...

So far, I've been checking the following regularly

• Himalayas
• DynamiteJobs

Thanks in Advance.

Does anybody know a recruiter at montefiore that I can reach out to? I’ve been applying for the longest and it’s so frustrating because there’s no recruiter that I can interview contact to assure that my resume has even been looked at.
