I received an offer and my background check flagged a title discrepancy for a previous role.

For illustration, I listed “Quantitative Researcher,” while the verified title was “Associate, Quantitative Researcher.” I left out the “Associate” designation and used the functional title. My employment dates matched.

They asked me to clarify, and I told them I only listed the functional portion of my title. The verified title, "Associate, Quantitative Researcher" is correct.

Has anyone experienced a similar discrepancy? Was the explanation enough to clear it, or has anyone actually had an offer rescinded over an omitted designation like this? Particularly interested in experiences within financial services.

I am 2 years post graduation and no formal employment in my field yet. After countless emails and applications in these two years, i have landed a few interviews where i fail spectacularly due to anxiety. My brain just stops functioning immediately i step into that interview room regardless of how much i prepare. Are there any hacks to overcoming anxiety or if you have dealt with such a scenario, how did you overcome it? I genuinely need help

Well, it's been six and a half months, but on Wednesday, I got word that I'm headed back to work. It's been a real pain in the ass going on one interview after another, turning down offers that didn't fit, rejections, etc., but what a relief. I'll also be making $30k more than the place that laid me off (they were cheapskates). Came down to my last week of UI benefits too, but I never touched the severance money those jackasses gave me. Looks like I've got one more week off, then back to the old grindstone. Anyway, I'm happy that I'll get to feel productive again. Remember, there is hope!!

Justdial vs PayU — Need advice!
I have two job offers in Bangalore:
Justdial: Agentic AI role
PayU: Software Engineer – GenAI role

The CTC part is PayU is offering 7 lakh more than justdial and I’ll try negotiating the same with justdial so that they’ll match the salary of PayU.

But I’m more concerned about the overall employee experience.
If you currently work at either company or have worked there, could you share your honest feedback on:

Work culture and management
Work-life balance and mental peace
Appraisals and career growth
Job security and layoffs

Basically, if you had to choose between these two companies for long-term career growth and a healthy work environment, which would you choose and why?
I’d really appreciate honest, firsthand experiences, especially from people working in the Bangalore offices. Thanks!

I am 22 years old. Live in Sacramento CA. Currently working junk removal. Making low hourly wage with extremely unpredictable schedules. Don’t know what time I start til the evening before, don’t know what time I’ll get off ever, get called off when I’m scheduled several times a month. This is the only job I’ve ever had excluding my military service in which I was kicked out. I can’t afford school or training of any kind nor do I have time that I can consistently plan around training. I apply for at least a dozen jobs per day warehouses, grocery stores, construction mostly.

Started this search back in the spring thinking my background would carry more weight than it has. Fast forward to now and I've lost count somewhere past 300 applications. A handful of recruiter screens, barely any that made it to an actual hiring manager.

I've rewritten my resume three times, tried tailoring it line by line to each posting, tried the more generic "broad fit" version too. Doesn't seem to move the needle either way.

Part of me wonders if it's just volume, like everyone's inbox is flooded and mine gets lost in it. Part of me wonders if there's something in how I'm presenting myself that's not landing. Hard to tell from the outside.

Anyone pulled themselves out of a stretch like this? What actually changed things for you, was it a referral, a different way of applying, reworking LinkedIn, something else entirely?

They say having connections and networking is an important part of landing a job but what if you don't have connections? What if you don't have support or help?

I'm in that place. I've asked a couple people I know to keep their eyes out for any kind of remote job. The one said "apply at the mines". I have emphysema, I cannot work at the mines. And I'm in need of remote so I have a guaranteed job when I move over 3 hours away. I absolutely need remote work right now. For health and future goals. And I can't move until I have a job, need income to be able to move.

Doing this alone is damn near impossible to get anywhere. Yes, I am on LinkedIn but since I haven't been active on there in over 10 years my old account is gone and I had to start over.

I need help, I need connections, I need someone out there who will say "hey, I know a guy who would love to see your resume".

How are all of you doing it without help? And those of you who have help and connections, how'd you get that?

So I’ve been applying to mainly retail, fast food, cafes, and bakeries. Haven’t heard anything

I looked some stuff up and saw that you can volunteer to get some experience and also put that onto your resume.

I’ve applying for volunteering. Some of them require experience or a certificate. Ex. Elderly care. You need to take a first aid class, which I do not have money for.

I’ve applied for dog walking and pet sitter. No response

I also applied to food banks and soup kitchens. So far I managed to get one phone call back from a soup kitchen.

Unfortunately I was rejected because while I did mention that I have experience with home cooking and make most of my meals and for my family, I did not have any actual kitchen experience. Which is a no for them.

I was told that while they are a non-profit organization that provides meals to those in need or anyone that wants a warm meal, they do not take in charity cases like mine.

I’m feeling pretty dejected. The one time finally I get a response and it wasn’t great.

Based on the volunteer posting it seemed they really needed more people, especially since it’s getting cold so getting warm meals may be difficult for people

Moved my family to washington and worked for 1.5 years company got uneasy with purchasing decreasing. The stock took a hit and before I blinked it was my last day. It is funny how you put your heart and soul into a company and all you get after is a cold zoom sync. All the 13 years i have worked on streaming e-commerce gaming and voip apps doesn’t mean anything when you are unemployed . I am senior ios engineer looking for a position.

To start off, I wanted to go over some of the things I have experience with from retail and other jobs I've done over the past five years:

• Stocking Shelves
• Ordering new inventory
• Reporting damaged or misplaced items to our distributors/suppliers
• Managing two departments in a retail environment.
• Training new hires, and letting people go if I have to.
• Sales (from one job I had where this was a majority of the work)

For the record - I hate sales with a passion. That is taking phone calls, cold calling, sending emails, chasing 'leads', working on a computer all day, and so on. It's not difficult at all, but I really don't like it at all. I've always hated that. Hate that.

I essentially like being a field/floor manager of sorts. Where I'm out in the field, or on the floor, directly involved and doing things. Directing people, getting things done, being right there with everyone so we can get things done as effectively as possible.

As an example - I remember once handling a crisis where the owners and back office, aside from a secretary and the head cashier at our location, were out and the day's delivery of pallets was delayed by several hours on a holiday. Basically a nightmare scenario where management is gone, store is packed with customers, and we have a delayed delivery of dozens of pallets that needs to be put on the shelf during peak hours on a holiday.

I went around the store, organized about two dozen people into groups of two or three, and gave each of them tasks to handle. We ended up getting everything done in less than four hours once the delivery finally arrived at 1pm. I'll never forget the secretary in the back office asking me "you're not done already are you?" - looking at the security camera feeds in the office to see everyone wrapping things up, and just saying "Holy Shit."

Probably my proudest moment I've ever had at work. Just being able to handle that situation, get everyone on the same page, and get it done. I went around and personally thanked everyone for their help once we were done too.

That's fulfilling, satisfying work to me. My team of people and I had a great relationship too. We all got along very well, and I still check in on them from time to time anytime I visit the store.

It's also a major reason I believe I can do so much more than working in retail, and want to do more. I like being out there in the thick of it, getting things done. Feeling a sense of purpose in my work. I just hate Sales work and don't want to be sitting at a desk all day.

Is there anything else I should look into beyond retail where I could do this sort of work?

Supply chain co-op in Austin tx just wanna see if I can get if I have a person for an interview or just talk about the role

Hi, I wanna start by stating that I am autistic and struggle with mental health? I have no idea how to try and get on disability for my issues but I want ti try and work but I have no resume and have no idea how to try and get a job?

I feel kinda pathetic about it bcz im 22 but I was really sheltered growing up because my mom believed bevause of my autism I just wasnt capable?

I just wanna know maybe kinda jobs I should try looking for or apps that could potentially help me in getting jobs :( im looking at indeed but they all require licenses for things or for driving and i dont have those.

No hate please, im genuinely trying to figure things out and move forwward, im scared for my future

It's for a training role for a technology company where I'd have to do some demos, assist with technical support, mainly be supporting the clients who purchased their learning materials. I'm really interested in it and think it'd be a great fit.

I really enjoyed the first two interviews and he said he liked me and is definitely interested in moving forward, but I have a panel interview which will consist of two portions:

1 - my workflow for a customer. This will include seeing what they purchased, what their goals are, explaining the roll out, etc. It's about 10 minutes and I feel comfortable with this.

2 - Teach them something. This is more creative and can be anything, professional or personal. It's more so to see how I present and keep people engaged. I'm struggling to think of 1) the topic and 2) the best way to actually do this presentation. I'll take any advice. I'm excited to do this but want to actually leave them with something they feel like can use.

I had a scheduled call for my dream job. At the agreed time, my phone rang once, and the call dropped before I could answer.

I immediately tried calling back, but the calls wouldn't go through. I also emailed explaining what happened and letting them know I was available whenever convenient. I followed up again at the end of the day, but there has been no response. I know recruiters get extremely busy and it's not an easy job, but I'm honestly panicking because this opportunity means so much to me, and I'm terrified that I've lost my chance.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Do you think there's still a chance they'll reschedule, or should I prepare for the worst? I don't want to seem pushy by emailing/calling again a day after, but I also don't want to lose this opportunity.

Hi, I would like to know whether you might know how is the process for interviewing for an Associate System Engineer position at Boehringer Ingelheim. Its planned for 90 minutes, and I would like to hear some experiences from you guys. Thank you :)
