        To provide my expertise and experience in the field of the professional counseling, especially with the population Hispanic, for the scope of goals and objectives of the organization.

        Well, I always have the best available to evolve, be read, write, perhaps my biggest difficulty is to fit me to a good English pronunciation. But nothing is impossible when you really want to succeed.

            Too many changes in original dynamic that strays and is convoluted in its structure. It becomes a unnecessary source of stress. Even if you pass the probationary period another will be in place once the list comes out on the civil service test.

                      I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.

                      Senior Associate

                      How do you interview for a position when you are under-qualified based on seniority but not based on skills? I currently serve as a senior associate for a reputable consulting firm, and I have an interview for an associate director position. However, I am just shy of the minimum YOE requirement included on the job application and relatively young (though I meet all of the other requirements). Any advice on convincing the hiring manager I am ready for a mid-level role?

                      EY

                      Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?
