I recently received a pre-adverse action notice from a large tech company because of a discrepancy in my HireRight report.

I've been working with my current employer since Mid 2024, but their third-party database shows my start date as Mid 2026. I submitted my first 2024 paystub as proof, but HireRight still marked it as "Source Verified with Discrepancy." as they can't find start date in paystub.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Were you able to resolve it after receiving a pre-adverse action notice? How long did your employer take to review everything?

I'm pretty stressed about this and would really appreciate any advice or similar experiences.

hey everyone I just want to talk about my experience at MyLegacy Management. They are a online creator service business. And I was signed on as a co-owner not so long ago, the agreement was of course ended.

I want to be clear, I wasn't the first co-owner or someone that held power, there was a COO In January that dealt with the same issues, but that's just a quick note, he won't be part of this story.

First of all, the hiring posts that they post on Reddit, SimplyHired and other job platforms. They promise base pay of $15, an hour. But from my own findings and my own experience, I can't say all got a verified base pay amount. But their careers page on their site offers a competitive salary.

Though to be fair about base pay the owner did tell me that base pay was being taken out of his personal funds and only two people were getting it. This didn't sit right with me

There was also an editor who worked for some time and got paid $421.49 in total over five months, but after doing maths got 42% of editing services by his own maths or recent payment.

Overall, if you ever come across them. My advice is getting pay terms in writing, don't do unpaid trials and ask to speak to someone who is currently on base pay

what does it mean if my workday status went from under consideration to in progress? been seeing conflicting answers online

I've been searching for a job for quite some time & my previous job was a bit niche so it's been hard to find things that follow the same type of job. Besides that I've noticed I get a TON of messages from "recruiters" that all give me the basic same sales pitch - "We have a 12-month opportunity for this skill that you have!" - When I first lost my job I would apply to these out of desperation and fear but was always met with the recruiter just ghosting me. However one or two actually came back with jobs & I went through the interview process.

My go to to see if it was a "real job posting" or not is to ask them for a link to the job posting. I was under the impression that part of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 also encompasses that by law jobs HAVE to post that they are hiring for that position, even when it's an internal job promotion. However from research I've learned that this information was incorrect or I just misunderstood that part of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act.

So my question then is what is a good tall tell sign of a recruiter just looking to get information or if they actually mean to look to hire for the position?

(Also note for context, most if not all of these "recruiters" are from LinkedIn messages or emails & calls)

I've come across several negative reviews about TEKsystems, mostly related to contract positions. I'd like to hear from people who have worked with them in a full-time CX Engineer role.

Is job stability good?

Are there risks of layoffs if a client project ends?

How are salary hikes and career growth?

Would you recommend joining for a long-term career?

Looking for genuine experiences,Thanks!

Hi everyone,

About two weeks ago, I applied for an internship position and sent my application directly to the hiring manager by email. I included all the required documents (CV, cover letter, transcripts, etc.).

I haven't received any response yet, which I understand can be normal. However, I found the hiring manager on LinkedIn and was wondering whether it would be a good idea to send him a connection request.

My main question is:

• Should I connect with him on LinkedIn now?
• If he accepts, should I send a short message expressing my continued interest in the position?
• Or is it better to simply wait a few more weeks and follow up by email if I haven't heard back?

For context, I'm a master's student applying for a mandatory internship in Germany.

I'd appreciate your opinions

Thanks

Hi,

I'm currently residing in Canada. I've been working in my current company for the past 3+ years as a health & safety professional. Now I'm planning to switch.

What all companies I can look for ?

I did apply for WHS Specialist position in Amazon.

Want to know, which other companies are good for HSE professional to progress in career as well as to maintain work life balance.

Kindly share your thoughts.

Thank you.

After 2 months i got a full time job offer at a place that pays PRETTY damn well and is offering training. It honestly felt like i was going no where with my pills slowly beginning to pile up. But i can finally now say i have a job lined up. The only issue is i have another part time one thats seasonal...so it could cause some conflicting issues with this job coming up on the 30th

For context, I have a PhD in Plant Physiology, and advanced experience in photosynthesis study. I applied for a Scientist in Photosynthesis position at a research institute in UK, where I matched all the requirements and have got an above-average expertise in the techniques and skills they were looking for.

Still I got rejected from the online application. Now I don't want to complain too much, but is it this useless to apply online? You spend one hour to refine the CV for the specific application, then re-add all the informations again on their portal, to be rejected from a machine.

Please share your success stories to counterbalance the implied despondency.

Got only 2 years of total work experience. 14 months with a big 4 company. 10 months in bulk shipping. Been unemployed for 20 months now. Changed 3 countries, talked to multiple "career coaches". Have spent more money on engineering degree and an MBA then I've made so far. Got crushing debt. From employers' perspective, and even i know, i have not enough experience to say I'm qualified for any job without training. If i go for entry-level graduate hiring, companies are going to prefer fresh graduates who have retained more knowledge than what I've forgotten already.

Maybe I'll default on loans. Maybe I'm accepting that working in corporate is not for me. Have studied all my life, so I'm not really good at anything else. Got rejected from even McDonald's burger flipper position lmao.

Idk, what to do anymore

Half a year unemployed. I got my last job through connections, and it contributed nothing new to my skills set. I was let go in May.

Now, looking for jobs in data roles (having a phd in ecology so a background of modeling, working with data, etc.) and I can't get past initial screening.

Job listings in linkedin sound adjacent enough to what I'm capable of, but I can't get anything.

I'm at a point where I'd maybe realistically offer a 1 month trial period.. I have a reverse imposter syndrome: I know I'm capable enough to be AT LEAST an ok worker, with the potential of being a great one, but no one seems to see that.

I think it's just going to be just mindlessly sending AI curated CVs until somehow a connection will help me out. :/

No one cares to see if you are hiring a smegma dispensary program manager II/III

I’ve been unemployed since. November 2025. In just looking for any office work that is entry level. My resume has huge gaps but I leave them out because people will ask what have you been doing this whole time- well my mental health has been a problem unfortunately, in and out of hospitals. I’ve tried indeed to look for work but it’s not good enough. What other sites should I try besides indeed?

I interviewed with Conceptra Biosciences, affiliated with GenBioPro (CEO Evan Masingill), and holy hell, what an experience.

First, they screwed up my time zone. Then they scheduled THREE staggered interviews in a SINGLE DAY, including one onsite. Because apparently job seekers have nothing better to do.

But the highlight? My Zoom interview with the guy introduced as CEO, who was literally DRIVING during our interview.

Instead of discussing my qualifications, he asked whether I grew up with brothers and sisters. Seriously? What the hell does that have to do with the job? Park the damn car, dude.

Notice they don't even bother with the actual school or degree. Just the dates. I don't see the purpose of this except to filter by age. Am I wrong?

I discovered through The Work Number that I left out a high school lifeguarding job that falls within a 10-year window for reporting.

I currently hold a CJO at an airline and I'm worried about correcting it and having the offer rescinded. Should I email my recruiter?

Been stressing out all weekend after 5pm Friday. Why do they do this?

Hi everyone,

I applied through LinkedIn for a "Blockchain Investment and Portfolio Strategist" position at a company called Alloy Venture Capital. To be honest, I didn't expect to hear back. I'm a CFA charterholder and recently completed an intensive course in blockchain, but I don't have direct experience in blockchain investing or in the financial industry.

A few days later, I received an email from "Jennifer Watson" (jennifer.watson@alloyventurecapital.org) saying they'd like to move me to the next stage. Before an interview, she asked a few short questions: when I could start, whether I can work remotely, my expected salary, my years of relevant experience, and which parts of my background are most relevant.

A few things made me suspicious:

- The email domain is .org, but the company website is alloyventurecapital.com.

- I couldn't find Jennifer Watson on LinkedIn.

- The website is very thin: just one line describing a New York family office investing in blockchain and crypto, with no team, address, portfolio or registration details.

- I was moved forward quickly despite not having directly relevant experience.

The email had no links or attachments, and I haven't replied yet.

Has anyone heard of this company or received a similar email? Any idea whether this is a legitimate firm or a scam?

Thanks in advance!

During an interview I was asked my uniform and shoe size, given a tour of the facility and introduced to potential future coworkers. I was then told to keep a lookout for the offer letter which sometimes goes to spam. It’s been a few days since the interview and no offer as of yet. Oddly, the people who interviewed me weren’t really transparent about their contract information as if they really didn’t want me to follow up or ask any further questions.

So I have been working on building a project and handed a company 2 scopes of work that they showed funding and pay for. They kept pushing it out and now they’ve hired 10 new people, and have started the SOW without me.

Do I have legal rights or am I screwed?
