Workers Share How They Deal With Lowballing Job Interviewers

There is no surefire way to get a recruiter to be honest with you about the salary range they're hiring within. That's the kind of information they want to keep private, usually for the purpose of lowballing interviewees if they can. Sure, there's the occasional recruiter who wants to give you a salary at the top of the range, but that really only happens when they're incredibly generous, you're literally the most qualified person in the world or both. Those factors rarely come together, so you…

Workers Discuss The Benefits of Lying on Your Resume

There's only so much you can do to get a job when your resume is not up to par. You can change the verbiage you use to describe your job-hopping as much as you'd like, but employers are just going to see the same thing: an unreliable person who can't be trusted to stay at their company for longer than a year. In this economy, it makes sense why someone would be a job hopper . Loyalty to a position or a company is rarely rewarded with more money, and sending out hundreds of applications and gett…

Ridiculous Recruiter Harasses Applicant For Requesting Interview at 'Noon'

It's very easy to tell when a job recruiter is scamming you. Typically, they'll use extremely unprofessional language right off the bat. Either that or they will be extremely unspecific about anything. No great job has come from a recruiter messaging you on LinkedIn “Hello. When can you interview.”

Inept Recruiter Rejects Technical Writer With 8 Years of Experience For Being 'Too Inexperienced'

Applying for jobs is tough; every entry-level position wants 3-5 years of experience, which makes the distinction of “entry-level” an oxymoron. Most career coaches will tell you to apply for jobs you're inexperienced in anyways because, usually, the people writing the job ads set the bar higher than they need to draw in more qualified applicants. Luckily, as time progresses in your career, you become overly qualified for those measly entry-level positions and begin to move up in the world. No l…

Russian Interviewee Gets Told Their Russian is "Insufficient" by Job Interviewer Who Couldn't Speak the Language

As someone who took at least five linguistics classes in college, you might call me a language expert. And as such, it's my duty to share a few undeniable truths about language learning that many people do not know. Did you know that if you're a native speaker of a language, congratulations, you are an expert in that language? It doesn't matter if you can't explain the exact reason for conjugations or word order. If you've spoken a language since birth, you will automatically know when somethin…
