We kid, we kid. Obviously you’re aware that you can shell out $13 a month and get an iPhone. Whether that’s worth it or not, we’ll let you decide but if you don’t want the iPhone, you’re taking your chances with another option, as one source describes, “crappy Windows Mobile devices that are getting shoved down our throats.”
Not only that but if you’re looking to get reimbursed for your PDA, don’t expect to get to choose whatever you want. Or to spend that much:
Deloitte also now limits the re-imbursement of PDAs to $199.99 + taxes. They used to cover the entire cost of devices that they chose to support (which mostly sucked to begin with). You’d figure that since they only pay $199.99 that we’d be able to pick the device now… but no; still limited to their “approved list” of crappy devices.
We’re not really up-to-date on the whole who-gets-what-phone-at-what-level question these days so if you’ve got some insight for your firm, discuss in the comments.
I mean, the candidate is throwing their resume against every job opening.
India has one of the highest unemployment rates for white collar jobs for individuals between 20ish-30ish years old and I remember seeing it was as high as 30% at some point.
I can’t remember where I saw it but I also remember talking to team members in the USI practice who made it seem like the job market was absolutely terrible for them…this also explained why they would sleep in the office for consecutive days.
Thats just not true. More likley the resume is not great
I have worked for a Big 4 firm. This candidate is applying for every job and all at the same time. This is a red flag and they will not even entertain their application. While working at one of the big 4 firms and seeking internal positions your HR partner would advise you not to do this because of what I mentioned above. If this person wants to work at a Big 4 or any organization they need to apply to jobs that align with their experience. If applying to more than one job at the same company, the roles should be very similar. I would suggest applying to no more than 2 jobs and again only if the roles are very similar. Otherwise, it screams that you’re all over the place.
Accounting analyst, Financial advisor, Energy industry senior analyst, Government services senior analyst, Strategy & technology senior analyst, International tax consultant, etc.
No way to be qualified for all of these, making it look like some kid out of school throwing a generic, non-qualified resume at every single job listing. Being rejected for all of them is not surprising.
