I got laid off - theladders.com question
Hey everyone - well, about three weeks ago I got laid off. For about two months, I knew something between my boss and I wasn't right...he finally did the deed a few Fridays ago. I was devastated but...after three weeks of self evaluation, I am thankful.
I got a massive severance package - over 6 figures, so I am not in any real hurry to find a job BUT I found a job that would be a perfect fit on theladders.com. Last week I submit my resume, and today I was notified by email that they would be calling to schedule an interview.
I don't want to get my hopes up - but given I had to pay to see most of the jobs listed on the website, I am just worried about how the website works. I guess I am worried that they will send me on a ton of wild goose chase interviews in an effort to get me to buy a longer membership..???
Has anyone gotten a job from theladders.com - how does it work?
Re: I got laid off - theladders.com question
You are exactly right - the person that emailed me IS the company recruiter - I was so freaking excited to get that email I never even bother to look WHERE the person was from. Dumb!!
Thank you so much for your detailed response - I feel much better about the website. The email said that someone local would be contacting me "soon" to set up an interview time - I received the email at 10am - it is already 5:30 - I want my phone call!
A good friend of mine was contacted via theladders and landed an awesome, 6-figure salary job in management at a large corporation. She is incredibly happy, supported and challenged (in a good way) at her new job. SHe has been there for a few years now.
Wishing you luck!
