Are you a Job Seeker or Hiring Manager? Do you know what to do each step of the way? This group is intended to be a forum for people to share tips, experiences and knowledge. What is the best way to apply to a job? What about black holes and not getting feedback? I have an interview, now what? I just got done my interview, now what? I just got an offer, now what? Or from a Hiring Manager perspective... What is the best way to prepare to hire someone? How do I write a job description? How do I prepare to interview someone?
These are all questions that will hopefully be discussed. « less
