I recently came across a CV which mentioned the reason of each switch she'd made , because she knew her CV had more than normal switches and chances were that without the background context recruiter might not shortlist such a CV at all.  
  
 You can also add a line below your last two work experiences  
 Reason to leave: laid off due to company's financial issues.. 
  
 If you can get your bosses/ seniors in the last two companies to be your references in your CV - that would also be great and help your case !

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Background,
I got laid off from an organisation and by god's grace I had a offer, which was not that good 10% decrement in salary, but me being a scared person joined the company.

Now 1 month after I realised I can do much better and market seems to open up.

What should I tell the HR in 2 scenarios.

1. I had already started Interviewing and haven't mentioned that I was layed off. What should I tell if I get selected? 

2. If a opportunity comes to start Interviewing for seperate company, should I mention about ty current company or no?

PS. The work in current organisation is not that good and it's a contractual role.

Need advice on what to say to HR of new company .

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

Leaving company in 3 months

DevOps Engineer

Hi everyone. I have an introductory call scheduled with a recruiter. My current company has terrible leadership and toxic wlb where my inputs are not valued much since they feel juniors are completely dumb. 
I joined this company (after completing 6 months of internship) right after my graduation in June 2022.

I'm sure I'll be asked this question of leaving my current company after just over a year. What should I respond with?

‚Why do you want to leave your current company after just over a year?’

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello
I was laid off in January (used work as a Product Analyst) and then I joined another company in March (also as a Product Analyst), 

After working for a month I have understood that the only career pathway they offer is into a PM role whereas I want to grow into a data science role. 

Wanted to get some advice on what to say in interviews for other companies when they ask why I am leaving so soon?

Mechanical Engineer

I’ve joined a company recently and I’m planning to switch from here within 6 months . Is it fine ? What should I say when the recruiters asks for reason for change ? Ps : My average switch between companies were around 2.5 yeas.

Early switch

Whenever I receive a recruiter call, the first question they ask is why did you leave your previous job.
How do I answer this effectively.
I'm pretty new to the IT industry and would like to know about how to handle these kinds of questions.

How do I answer "Why did you leave your previous job" effectively?

Hey there. Recently I got terminated from a big company due to performance issues according to them but I don't agree with them as I know what effort i have put in and what works I did there. If an interviewer ask a reason for leaving your last job, what should I say there?

Got terminated, but what to say on interview.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am just 1.5 years old into my current company and the growth seems to be slow here.Hence wondering if I can look outside in the market for some new opportunities.

Just an anxiety: What should I answer if the HR asks me about the frequent switches?

I always get stuck on this question ( ofcourse I do it for quick growth) but how can I sugarcoat to justify this?

Please comment and share your thoughts.

Interview ques

External Audit

I laid off last week and getting call for interview . They ask me notice period. 
Should I tell them that I am immediate joinee and tell the reason as laid off?
Will it make negative impact for inital screening?

My preferable answers will be from HR or person who laid off in past

What should I tell as notice period after laid off

I was laid off 3 weeks ago. I've appeared for 9 companies, 7 of which were small scale companies who asked either extremely tough questions or questions on outdated technologies that I don't have experience on(.Net Developer) 
I was able to crack L1 Technical Interviews with the other two companies (MNCs) and they haven't reverted back with the result of the second round yet, saying that they'd reach out by next week. I don't trust HRs so Idk if this is a lie or not. 
The market seems tough and cracking interviews is becoming difficult by the day probably because of the sheer volume of applicants and numerous choices that companies have. 
How many interviews should I expect to give more before I land a job? Moral support dedo.

TLDR: Have appeared for 9 interviews with no success in the past 20 days. How much more time is this going to take? Need some guidance.

How many interviews did it take you to land a job?

One of my close friends is not liking the work in the current company due to the terrible WLB. He is planning to switch to a new company but doesn't want to show this current company experience of 3+ months. Have you ever come across such a situation? What's the best thing to do? If he reveals to the new employer then it won't be good on his resume because the company previous to the current one laid off 50% of employees and unfortunately he got affected too in that layoffs. So, due to tough market conditions he has joined a startup and realised that he can't sustain here for long.

Please guide if it's alright not to put the last 3 months experience in the resume and apply for new jobs.

Does hiding previous experience of 3-6 months create any trouble in the new company?

Analyst

Hi,

I have almost 10 months of experience as software developer in 3 companies one internship, 2 full-time. First 2 was absolutely initial-stage startups, this one is a seed-funded startup. In my current company the culture and the manager is really nice. I work as a backend developer, node, MongoDB, express, genai, auth, etc. tech stack. But the work does not excite me at all, I was enjoying at my previous company a lot more. That was young team, so everyone was new to tech and trying to figure out things and was helpful and collaborative. Here everyone is in their 30s and 40s and I am 23, no one even cares of what I work and how difficulty I am facing in work/team. That's why I fear of losing my job every day and I am still on my probation. So I thought of applying in case I get laid off. I got an interview opportunity at company. I want to ask what should I answer if the interviewer asks me about the frequent switches.

In first company I switched because the company is like 3 people and no funding was received so only 3 more months of money remaining( btw now only the founder left and he is still trying to raise money, my other colleague left too). So what should I give a reason for this potential switch? 

Current perks: 6LPA base. Nothing else.
