▼ + stars: | 2024-06-20 | by ( Alex Koller | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Job postings that claim to offer a "competitive salary" are on the rise, putting more onus on job seekers to suss out how much money they can expect from a new role. If you're at the start of a hiring process without pay clarity, there may be early indications that the promise of a "competitive salary" is an empty one. Here are some red flags to watch out for in your conversations with recruiters and hiring managers. But if the company continues to evade the pay conversation after multiple interviews, that's a clear red flag, according to Hyman. Why don't you take some time to digest it and circle back once you have established [the compensation] level?'"

▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Alex Koller | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Pay transparency laws are on the rise nationwide, but so is the share of companies that use the ambiguous phrase "competitive salary" to describe what they'll pay. As of May, the phrase appeared in 3% of U.S. job postings on Indeed, up from 2.5% of postings at the same time last year, the employment website told CNBC Make It. It's a small but notable increase that reflects thousands of job posts with unclear pay ranges, according to Indeed. "But without further details in the job posting, the phrase puts the onus on the job seeker to know what a competitive pay range may look like." If you're applying to jobs without clear pay ranges, here are a few ways to discuss salary during the hiring process.

They can now add AI recruiting systems to that pile. It turns hiring into a depersonalized process, it inundates hiring managers, and it reinforces weaknesses in the system it's designed to improve. AI is supposed to fix this mess, saving companies time and money by outsourcing even more of the hiring process to machine-learning algorithms. Platforms like LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter have started using generative AI to offer candidates personalized job recommendations and let recruiters generate listings in seconds. Several seasoned recruiters told me they hadn't incorporated AI into their workflow beyond auto-generating job descriptions and summarizing candidate calls.

They shared the biggest red flags they see and what candidates should say instead. "Employers and interviewers are specifically trained not to ask questions around candidates' family or financial situation, so it's best not to bring it up," he said. Revealing that you don't have other job options could give potential employers a reason to lower your salary, he said. They'd often ask candidates problem-solving questions with three or four layers.

☆ 3 pieces of information you should never share in a job interview and what to say instead, from a recruiting manager.
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-28 | by ( Bonnie Dilber | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

I've been in recruiting for nearly 10 years and a hiring manager for even longer, working in education, non-profits, and tech. When interviewing with a hiring manager as a candidate, my advice is always to be very discerning about what you share. Challenges in previous jobs or with your job searchIn an interview, the hiring manager is looking for someone who makes them confident they can deliver strong results for the company. Some things I've heard job seekers share before — like challenges in previous workplaces or how tough the market is — can distract the hiring manager from seeing them as the strongest candidate. Was their previous manager really difficult to work with, or are they the difficult one?

☆ Gen Z has discovered the ultimate anti-layoff hack: government jobs

Gen Zers and millennials are wary of layoffs — especially a recent wave hitting the tech sector. Job security, a pension, strong benefits, and student loan forgiveness. "People in private sector jobs are three times more likely to lose their jobs than people in federal government jobs," she said, adding that public sector workers can also expect to enjoy a "better work-life balance" with a lot more paid time off. It's no secret that Gen Z is looking to rethink their approach to work and careers. It may seem counterintuitive to want to work in the public sector, which typically has lower salaries than the private sector.

☆ The 'lazy girl jobs' trend is being fueled by 20-somethings who haven't made hard decisions or done hard things, says an NYU business professor

NYU professor Suzy Welch told CNBC that a desire to avoid anxiety was behind the viral "lazy girl jobs" trend. The "lazy girl jobs" trend has gone viral on TikTok, with videos under the #lazygirljobs hashtag racking up more than 17.9 million views since May. TikToker Gabrielle Judge, who popularized the trend, urged her followers to seek out "lazy girl jobs." However, TikTok users — including Judge — have begun warning users to stop sharing their lazy girl jobs online to avoid becoming "socially outcasted," Insider previously reported. Welch's remarks are the latest in the debate over work-life balance stirred up by the lazy girl jobs trend.

So what is quiet firing? Quiet firing is when an employer does the bare minimum to keep their employees: no support, no development, no growth, no rewards. Women, and especially women of color, are particularly susceptible to quiet firing. Lots of workers have been 'quiet fired'When faced with quiet firing, some employees get fed up and exit on their own. A few weeks ago, I wrote a LinkedIn post on quiet firing that quickly went viral.
