If your event is an external one then you need to spend time and money on marketing and advertising it. Some of your employees can conduct a survey or interview attendees during the event to find out what they think about it. Keep track of all finances and resources and make sure there are no shortcomings in your event.

A reader writes: We have an opening on my team and we recently interviewed an individual with three years’ experience. He immediately accepted what I consider a very competitive offer, which was 22% more than his current, advertised, civil-service salary. As for what to do … How much did you like this guy?

They’re both quite young (in their mid-late 20s), and both were interviewed at the same time. In the interviews, they discussed wages. Debbie was interviewing for the supervisor position, and agreed to £26k (the lower end of the pay band they advertised). The other, a bloke I’ll call Dave, has 2. What the hell do I do? (I’m

There is currently a manager post open at my organisation which has been advertised externally and internally. The interview process starts with an assessment day which I’m assuming will be group work on scenarios. If you are successful at this stage you then move forward to the interview round. Is this fair?

After three months of interviewing, I was just told I got it. Has this employer already hired someone for the job I interviewed for? I applied for a position I thought I would be a great fit for, and after a very rocky phone screen with a recruiter, I somehow managed to snag an in-person interview. I received the offer letter.

Plus, job searches can take a lot longer than people think they will, which could have real implications for your finances. I recently had the experience of sitting in on an interview for an open position at my organization, which has a number of issues up and down the ladder.

Should I talk about my SAT scores in my cover letter and interview? My parents have repeatedly encouraged me to bring up my SAT score in cover letters and interviews. While my score was very high, it feels weird to me to bring up a test score from nearly a decade ago in an interview. To everyone else it will look strange.

During this process, the HR manager and my manager heavily advertised the company’s “summer hours” benefit — basically, salaried staff have the option to leave for the day around 1 or 2 PM every Friday between Memorial Day and Labor Day. That surprised me, since it had been so heavily advertised during my hiring.

I was working in finance for a small trading firm, and the managing partners hired two professional photographers to come in and take headshots that would be displayed on the company website. There’s no guarantee I’ll get an interview anyway, but is this red-flaggy enough for me to withdraw if asked for an interview?

We think about the big flashy things like TV advertising and things like that. You just don't hear people talk about loving people in an interview and I truly found that very connecting. When you think about email as a way to reach your customers, it is the most cost effective way to do that. We don't always think about that.

The job was advertised as permanent, and I applied. My close friend, who works in a different agency, applied for it but didn’t say anything to me until interview appointments were sent out. Her reasons were pretty poor, e.g. if I got the job, my regular position would be open and they would use the interview process to fill it.

It’s my first employer out of graduate school.
