“I cried. It was a surprise to me.” "I was in shock. I felt I was a failure.” Getting let go is tough. How it’s handled, how it’s managed, & how the employee is helped to find a new position. #Offboading should be a core strategy. We can help: https://t.co/cMBlSaV243

“47% of #interviewers said that they wouldn’t offer the job to a candidate if they had little knowledge of the company” (@twinemployment). #Research the #company & industry. What #products do they offer? Any recent #news or updates? Any reviews? This’ll show your interest.

You applied to 3 #jobs yesterday. Today, you’re networking. Tomorrow, you’re at a #jobfair. The next day you’re applying to new firms. By Friday, you’re tired. There is an efficient way that gets you well-prepared & connected to #recruiters who have open #positions. #vcandidates.
