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

                        Some good travel benefits, we gain seniority quickly, good medical, dental and life insurance. Good for people that want more of a simple schedule or needs to be home more. Good starter company for a flight attendant position. Great work life balance. You are able to have a great quality of life and not be on reserve for that long.

                        Cons

                        Lots of inconsistency in management. They are hiring Flight attendants at a rapid pace, but not expanding their operations. The company is having meltdowns every 6 months.

                      Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

                      Software Engineer

                      I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

                      Manager

                      Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
