Barbara Corcoran experienced every professional's worst nightmare: She landed her dream job, only to have the offer rescinded. It's unusual for job offers to get rescinded after you've signed on the dotted line, but not impossible. Last summer, amid fears of a looming recession, large companies like Coinbase, Twitter and Redfin took back job offers before a number of employees could log on for their first days. It was primarily a reaction to inflation, co-founder and CEO of the recruiting company WizeHire Sid Upadhyay told CNBC Make It last June. Upadhyay recommended asking your network for job leads, revisiting other job offers and getting in touch with former employers.
