It's a very large company, FAANG sized (~50k employees), compensation potential is pretty great.
First round interview was basically a somewhat automated screening - they sent me to a website, asked a few questions, I was required to record video responses. Some of the questions I was allowed time to prepare and was able to re-record if I wanted, others were single-take timed answers.
Got the email today letting me know they were interested in continuing the process. This includes filling out a "formal" job application, including the following information:
- Employment history for the past 10 years – including employers’ names, addresses, managers' names and phone numbers. This also includes Internships, Part-Time/Summer Jobs, Work Study positions and gaps in employment.
- Salary history for each employer – including commissions and bonuses if applicable. Tax documents may be requested at a later time (W2s, 1099s; a schedule C; or a K-1) for employment.
- Education history – including education institution names, dates, addresses of high school(s) and college(s). If you graduated college within the past 3 years, you will also need your GPA.
- Professional licenses (if held) – including the dates you obtained them. For certain licenses, you will be required to include where they are held and the license numbers.
- Outside Employment & Activities – include any work or activities you wish to continue if you are employed by XXXX, regardless if it is listed in the Employment History Tab.
This seems . . . a bit much? This will be my first job switch in over a decade so I have no idea what to expect, maybe this is normal for a huge corporate gig in the finance sector. The salary history kinda threw a red flag - I know what I will accept in terms of compensation, and the job listing's salary is within that range, but not sure I want to show my hand quite yet in that area, especially this early. Also not comfortable giving my current manager's name and phone, current employer doesn't know I'm looking and I definitely don't want this company calling them as a reference.
Thoughts?
off-course the stock is down, The SEC is USELESS!!! The US market is corrupt and now the whole world is learning about the corruption that have been inflicted upon and closed down hundreds of US owned business. Where the fuck is Gary Gensler! DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!
The US Market will crash and Gary Gensler will be remembered in history as the weak SEC Chairman who gave a blind eye to all the corruption we've uncovered.
I got an interview for a Church of England job. It's an office role doing pensions and housing related work. Mostly data processing and analysis type work.
I guess what I wanna know is what am I in for? I've always thought of the Church of England as pretty chill. I pass pretty well. Just had BA and FFS so passing should be an issue. IT's just that I still got a revision GRS to go through and I don't want them to get wind of it. I also had a housemate who basically told me to be careful just cuz of things the DAily Mail says. Don't really do newspapers much these days.
TL;DR: Last week was British Science Week! We are here to answer any questions any of you have to do with science or technology and how they affect your life. There are no silly questions - ask us anything and we will try to give an easy-to-understand answer and, wherever possible, provide some further sources to enable you to do your own research/reading.
Our goal is simply to advance everyone's understanding of science, engineering and technology and to help people be better informed about the issues likely to affect them and their families.
