I've done some job hopping over the last decade to try to advance my career and broaden my knowledge base, so I've been in and out of the job market a lot (some of that hopping, like my most recent was more about getting away from a toxic company than about advancement). I've seen some tiresome and frankly absurd hiring processes (P&G's hours long personality testing for one wtf). I recently had an incredible positive experience that I wanted to share.

I spoke with a company a few months ago about a role. Had talked to the recruiter ahead of time about salary expectations. Did a 1hr virtual panel interview and got a call the very next day with an offer. Unfortunately the offer was under what I had previously discussed with the recruiter and thery were unable to come up at all, so I declined the position. Fast forward a few months, the recruiter reached back out to me because they had another new position open (company is in a major growth period right now making combination products, recently publicly announced a major deal with Eli Lilly). This new position sat in a higher pay band and she thought it would be a better fit. This time I did a 1hr on site panel interview, but again, got a call the very next day saying they wanted to move forward. This time the offer came in above what I asked for and I accepted. I just wanted to let people know that there are companies out there doing things right. They are quick to make a decision when they think they found a good fit and that is so refreshing.

Kudos to the folks at Resilience, I can't wait to join the team.

Hello! My husband and I are embarking on the Sun Princess next month and I have a question about the thermal suite. We are considering getting the week pass but I noticed on the page to book it that it says some things within the thermal suite have to be purchased separately. Can anyone tell me what all is included in the week long pass and what isn't that would have to be purchased separately?

My husband and I, along with our pseudo adopted adult daughter, are doing the 7 day Med cruise embarking out of Civitavecchia on September 5th this year. We did Alaska last year on the Caribbean Princess and loved it. Despite them making several comments about the Caribbean Princess being an older ship we thought it was in pretty great shape. I know the Sun is one of their newest ships and I've seen some mixed reviews for it online. So, give me all your hot takes on the Sun Princess. Whether a first time cruiser, a first time Princess cruiser, or a seasoned Princess loyalist, if you been on the Sun, what did you think?

We have a Sanctuary collection mini-suite booked. I'm excited about the Sanctuary perks like the more private pool area, the special dining room, and the included premier package (which we would have gotten anyways).

Looking for if anyone has taken the time to map out which mode nets you the most renown/time. Trying to grind renown for this event memento and wanna know if anyone knows the best mode to do that in.
