The original poster, who did not name the company, described being contacted by a recruiter for a "mostly remote" job at a SaaS company. The role required coming into an office located four hours away just two days a month, a condition the candidate said they were "completely fine with." Don't Miss: What followed was a grueling process of six interview stages and a five-hour take-home project.

Before overseeing products at the tech giant, which has a market cap of about $270 billion, he spent his early 20s waiting tables at Sizzler, a steak house chain, making just $4 an hour. Far from something to hide, he says the experience shaped his work ethic and people skills-and ultimately helped him climb Silicon Valley's corporate ladder. "I think everyone in the early part of their career should work in the service industry somewhere," Patel tells Fortune.

We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity. We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers - but in a safe environment.

Too many jobs today have a PR problem, limiting opportunities for our young people and our economy. The jobs that now exist and the training needed for them have changed dramatically over the past half-century, but our perceptions haven't kept up. Consider the manufacturing industry. A sector once synonymous with grimy factory floors, repetitive labor, and aggressive offshoring is now a hub for advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data analytics.

We think sustained performance will be driven by a consistent culture,

I spent a month in Malta to see if I'd want to retire there one day and make it my forever home. The weather was sunny, and the views were beautiful, but I craved more green spaces. It's a nice place to visit, but I can't see myself living in the small country permanently. The best way to find out, though, is to give different countries a try.

"One of the most recognised signs of a toxic workplace is when the hiring manager says something along the lines of the team being like a family," says Duris. "This might imply that you'll be expected to constantly go above and beyond and sacrifice your personal time." Duris adds that while some genuinely nurturing workplaces do use the "family" metaphor to describe a supportive culture, jobseekers should be cautious if it's paired with other warning signs - such as vague answers, long hours, or visible stress among employees.

You thought you landed the one. The job listing flirted with you from across the internet - flexible schedule, generous pay, team that "feels like family." The interviewers leaned in close, nodding earnestly, promising growth and opportunity. You accepted the offer, showed up on day one, and bam, learned you'd been catfished. Instead of remote work, they hand you a badge and a parking pass. Instead of "strategic creative direction," you're scheduling team lunches and updating spreadsheets.

So why can't the same thing be done in reverse-where you can ask past employees to assess the company you're applying to? Sure, there's Glassdoor. But short of salty ex-employees publicly dragging old employers on social media-a relatively uncommon move, considering it's deemed unprofessional and may result in legal retaliation-there are no real formalized processes to run references on a company you're applying to.

Scott Borgerson was born in 1978 in Essex, Maryland, a small town on the Chesapeake Bay. His father worked at the Bethlehem Steel plant in Sparrows Point until it shut down. His mother was a nurse at Franklin Square Hospital. Scott's story begins in a household where hard work was non-negotiable. "My dad put in long shifts at the mill, and my mom cared for people in the hospital. That shaped how I see work-show up, do your part, and do it right," he says.

I got laid off five months ago. Every morning I drink a pot of coffee while I write cover letters, tweak my résumé, and submit job applications into the abyss, knowing they will likely never be seen by human eyes-only crawled by the cold, lifeless algorithms of an artificial intelligence. I feel like General Zod from Superman, floating off into space trapped inside a two-dimensional phantom zone, screaming in silence about my job qualifications and core competencies.

Traveling by train was more comfortable and sustainable than flying. Traveling by train beats flying any day - at least in Europe. I formed this opinion in October 2022, when I spent two weeks backpacking through Europe with a Eurail pass. Eurail passes grant travelers unlimited access to most European trains for a set number of days. Some trains only require a Eurail pass, while others, including overnight trains, incur an additional, discounted price.

Creating a standout résumé or cover letter is your first (and sometimes only) chance to make a strong impression with prospective employers-to really sell yourself. But there's a caveat, HR experts say: don't sound desperate. While we're taught to tailor résumés for the job and really showcase accomplishments, experts argue there's such a thing as going overboard. Employers could find it off-putting. Or worse, they could think you're overrepresenting your credentials.

In episode four of season three, which aired on Friday, William gave Levy a tour of Windsor Castle, and the pair chatted over a drink at a pub in the area. During their conversation, William opened up to Levy about his royal life, chatting about how he and Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, parent their children and how his wife and father's health problems have affected him.

Professional services firms such as blue-chip law firms and management consultancies have long relied on a simple talent strategy: hire large amounts of eager and capable young associates to do the "heavy lifting" at the firm, freeing up partners and other senior staff to sell new work and set strategy. These associates would then be winnowed out over time. They either moved on to other work (often the firm's clients),

One of my favourite career theories, because it very much fits how I have experienced my worklife, is planned happenstance. It flips the what I call "This is what everyone thinks of career planning" idea on its head. As we've heard in previous episodes in this series, conventional career planning theory suggests doing some self reflection, setting a goal, making a plan and marching towards it. But the truth is careers rarely play out in straight lines these days. Planned happenstance theory says stop treating luck as random. Instead, build the skills to take advantage of it.

Especially alarming to many has been AI's effect on entry-level jobs. A blockbuster Stanford study in August was especially rattling, as it claimed to find a "significant and disproportionate impact" on entry-level jobs most exposed to AI automation-like software development and customer service-have seen steep relative declines in employment. This came out close to the MIT study that said 95% of generative AI pilots were failing and the somewhat sudden realization that AI could be building toward a bubble.

What is supposed to happen in those situations is that the attendants who work at the club are to watch the area and ask people to leave if they are not part of the group. This is part of the service your host paid for. It is not the host's job to play bouncer. If someone in a gathering like that gets unruly or if an outsider tries to intrude, the host should discreetly ask the attendant or a guard to have the person removed.

Today's college graduates are facing one of the most hostile job markets in recent memory, especially when it comes to entry-level roles. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a 9.3% unemployment rate for bachelor's degree holders aged 20 to 24 in August 2025, almost double the average unemployment rate for all workers. In the U.S., entry-level hiring is down 23% compared to March 2020, which is more than the 18% decline in overall hiring, according to research from LinkedIn.

The U.S. labor market is unusually tight, with limited hiring and firing prompting many office workers to reconsider their careers. A 2025 Flexjobs report found 62% of white-collar workers would switch to trade jobs for better stability and pay, while others aim to start businesses, retire early, move abroad, or take career breaks. Younger generations, especially Gen Z and Millennials, feel unprepared by education and training for the workforce.

the Ukrainian navy wrote in a statement on Monday evening, posting several photos of a major fire in an urban area. Business Insider could not independently verify the authenticity of the images. Karachev is a city in Bryansk, a Russian region bordering Ukraine's northern Chernihiv region. It is around 70 miles from Ukraine's border, but the Ukrainian General Staff said the missile strike on Monday was conducted over a range of 240 km, or about 150 miles.

The room is silent. All eyes are on you. Your heart races, but as you take a deep breath, confidence replaces the nerves. You begin to speak, not just to inform, but to captivate. Public speaking isn't an innate talent; it's a skill that can be mastered. With the right techniques, anyone can transform into a compelling speaker. Research shows that 77% of people experience anxiety around public speaking, yet confidence and clarity can be learned.

How a universal severance package works Earlier in September, NBCUniversal notified its U.S. and U.K. employees that come 2026, they must return to the office four days a week - with the option to work remotely on Friday [3]. NBCUniversal employees who don't want to return to the office can take a flat-rate severance package of eight weeks' salary and three months' healthcare coverage.
