Out here in the job search world and sent some application in thru typically job boards. I got a email from someone as a recruiter for spirit airlines as sending e-mail about screener questions going thru email. They send pdf Google/ doc attachment and I respond to the questions. Is this something normal for recruiters. There was no branding from the recruiter email but the pdf showed a older logo for spirit airlines. @spiritairlines

        Pros

        Free flights on most airlines for you and your immediate family, schedule freedom once you build seniority with which how fast spirit is growing you will achieve much quicker than at other airlines. You get to explore all over the country and sometimes in a few places outside of it.

        Cons

        It gets a little boring uo in the sky after youve done 10 trash runs and service. You can get crazy passengers we had some of the wildest in my opinion and your stuck with them at 30000 ft. If youre not careful youll gain weight eating out all the time and youre away from home a lot.

                      I’m new to this data analyst part of tech. I’m trying to break in but it’s been difficult. Can anyone help me with what to expect for interview questions for my position?

                      Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
