Lufthansa Internship Referral

Lufthansa Internship Referral Request

Hello everyone!

I hope this message finds you well! I am in the process of applying for a Business Development and Product Management Internship at Lufthansa for this upcoming summer. If anyone could provide me with a referral, I would greatly appreciate it!

Allow me to introduce myself: I’ve been actively seeking internships abroad since October 2023, but haven’t had much luck so far. I have previously interned at two companies and have gained valuable project experience along the way. Although I’m a humanities student, I possess a diverse set of technical skills demonstrated through my various projects. My experiences include leading clubs, serving in a division of the student government at my university, creating a website, and launching flagship initiatives.

I understand this is just a brief introduction, and I am more than happy to discuss my background in more detail. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!

Thank you for your support!

Recruiter System Connect CRM

Subject: Looking for a New CRM Solution

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to switch up the CRM my team is currently using, as I’m really frustrated with Loxo, Jobadder, and Bullhorn.

Does anyone know of a CRM that integrates well with LinkedIn and offers unified search capabilities, including features for recruiters? I’m aiming to streamline our software; the current options just aren’t cutting it. I’ve been using Loxo, but I haven’t found any value in it so far.

Thanks for your insights!

Stop messing with an employees mental health

Prioritize Employee Mental Health

The recent layoffs have been sudden and unexpected, leaving many employees feeling disoriented and anxious about our future.

This situation goes beyond just financial concerns; it profoundly affects our mental well-being. The constant fear of job loss is draining and, frankly, unjust.

It’s time for companies to acknowledge the significant impact these layoffs have on their workforce. Let’s foster a healthier work environment for everyone.

Failed job interview

Job Interview Setback
I had an interview yesterday with a well-known education recruitment agency. Today, I received the news that I won’t be moving forward with my application after a lengthy week-long interview process. The feedback I received was that I didn’t “sell myself enough,” which caught me off guard since I felt I was presenting myself well. Do you have any tips on how to better showcase my strengths in future interviews?

Staff Member’s Side Business

I manage a small recruitment firm and recently found out that one of my employees has been independently billing clients and using a personal email to communicate and handle candidates. I’m unsure how much he has earned on the side while working full-time with us.

What should my next steps be?
