So, aside from being really unethical, couldn't you have your friend pose as some major employer "following up on a reference" in order to scare your boss into giving you a raise?

"what? google said they wouldn't consult my references until I told them I was interested, this is so unprofessional."

counteroffers are always bullshit. if you make a credible threat of leaving, but you don't, you will always be marked

setting up the credible threat, but not actually being able to leave, seems like the worst of both worlds

i was offered my position on the basis of my resume and a single 45 minute multi party audio-only telephone interview. it occurred to me as i showed up at the front desk my first day that no one had even seen a picture of me. i relocated my family 800 miles to a town i'd never heard of.

was nervous the first day, but they had everything ready for me. spent 2 hours filling out new-hire paperwork, then they showed me to my cube that a few of my co-workers had stocked with office supplies. the logins they gave me worked and i was able to get started training immediately. they handed me a 3-ring full of specifications and told me where to start.

yeah this was mine too but with the caveat that my resume was conveyed to the department on an internal recommendation so there's some good old networking involved

If I had a job offer in Detroit I'd totally do it, and buy a badass stately mansion and the place next door. I'd buy a warehouse and get a city-use noise permit and turn it into a badass venue that would be immune from the normal NIMBY "too-loud" bullshit.

also why do they never say why

i always bring some copies just in case someone interviewing me hasn't actually seen my resume or if they want to confirm something on it i guess??
only once have i been asked by someone for a copy during an interview

edit: its also for me since maybe i forget some stuff on there

last "interview" I did the hiring manager hadn't read my resume and would have looked like an idiot in front of HR if I hadn't handed them one so

but lol if anybody needs to see your resume to hire you, they should have heard of you.

the way i get jobs these days is companies send an hr manager to stack piles of cash outside my closed office door. they come back every day and add more, if the pile eventually vanishes then they know i've accepted their offering
