I usually don't look at employee company reviews. But after my fifth interview with a certain plumbing manufacturer, I checked their reviews on Glassdoor. That's when I found out they had a habit of stringing candidates along through a 2 month process only to reject them in the end for an internal candidate. I've looked at company reviews ever since.
20 years in retail management.
Worked my way up from the store floor to corporate.
But apparently I'm not qualified to fill online orders for a grocery store? WTF!?!
Whatever happened to bridge jobs?
Used to be that experience meant something when you were in transition. Now the algorithm filters you out before a human ever sees your name.
Where exactly are we supposed to land?
A recruiter called me his "wild card."
I was flattered. Was.
Then, he spent the next ten minutes explaining in detail exactly why I didn't align with the position.
Wild card, apparently, is recruiter for "I have no idea why I called you."
How can you compliment and reject me in the same breath?
