Adventures in Job Hunting: Open Thread!


[ad_1]

Readers were talking recently about someone who put in a job application and, as the next step in the process before an interview, was asked to do “spend no more than five hours” on a relevant job test. (Commenters generally agreed that this was insane.) We haven’t had a good job hunting thread in a long while, so let’s discuss! Some questions for you:

  • When was the last time you went through a formal job application process? What was it like?
  • How has COVID altered your job hunting plans — did it delay a job hunt that you wanted to happen, or has it opened new doors as more companies have gone remote?
  • For those of you who have recently been job hunting (or who are hiring) — what are some of the best job hunting sites and tips that you’ve found? If you’re working with a recruiter, what are your best tips?
  • Just for fun – does anyone have any other fun job hunting stories to share, similar to the “five hour test” story?
