This makes me feel a little better. Thx. Just finished my second interview. My 1st interview went really well. 2nd interview, I'm 50/50 on how I feel about it. So, I'm glad the decision is a collective decision of the 1st and 2nd interview.

I had two interviews with a large software company, first one went really well and the interviewer called me the next day wanting to schedule another interview as soon as possible. I gave myself a week for preparation and I just did that today. I think it went well as the interviewer was nodding their head along with my answers and was taking notes. They also said they will call me tomorrow to let me know the decision. I can only interpret these as positive signs but I know well enough from experience being interviewed that you truly don't have the job until you receive a job offer. Wish me luck!

I had emailed the recruiter hours after the interview to thank them for their time and remind them of my strengths in the role. Recruiter replied quickly positively but ended her email saying “feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I wish you all the best as you search for your first job out of college.”

I took that as in she is not interested in hiring me and the interview went worse than I thought…
Thoughts??

My interview was from 17:30 to 18:45 o‘clock, so there was no way anybody was still in office. But that they accepted this time to get to know me was great.

This is a great video! I think I've hit most of the signs (going ~7 minutes longer, giving positive feedback when I asked comments on my performance, did small talks and chatted a bit on travel plans), but there're also some obvious bad signs (not replying to my thank-you note after being connected with the interviewer on LinkedIn, pretty incoherent interview questions, almost as if he was thinking of some on the spot, and I have some basic technical questions wrong). How should I go about my interview, and should I reach out to the interviewer again? I'm interviewing for an internship at a large financial institution for the context

so the interview went long for me, also asked me if I have other interviews at the end, howveer its already been past 2 days...so dont know at this point. Also got introduced to other team members.

[amberhernandez]

not sure if this is a sign but my interviewer asked me if I had pre vacation days/days off that she needs to be aware of. All new employees are on a six month probation so she asked me are there any vacation days/ days off between now and October that she needs to be aware of. Told her I have to attend a convention in August between 11-13. Don’t want to get my hopes up but will see. (Forgot to mention my interview was virtual via team)

I had three consecutive interviews each week:

1. Phone interview with the Recruiter
2. Video interview with the Hiring Manager (went over the specified time by 30 min and the HM asked if I could stay on longer; she seemed engaged and shared specifics about her team and what she’s looking for)
3. 3 panel interviews all on one day with the Head of Benefits & Comp, VPs of Culture, Head of Talent and HM again

This company has made consistent communication and interaction with me throughout the process thus far. I feel that the 1st 2 panels went exceptionally well(one of the interviewers asked that I request him and his colleague on LI and he recommended that I don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. The 3rd panel was the hardest, but I believe that I nailed it.

I did follow up with additional questions the next day because of that 3rd panel.

The recruiter simply responded to my questions.

I can’t tell if things look promising?

I did follow up one final time with questions about the expected decision timeline and what are the next steps in the process.

The recruiter responded right away and said that I’d hear back in the middle of the week and that have a few more interviews.

I’m shocked that no one has mentioned salary.

Does this opportunity sound promising? Not sure what to make of it…

[eddieserrano]

Did i miss up by not taking the hiring managers request to talk longer than the interview time limit? I was respectful about it but I was on a tight schedule

[luckyguess]

I just had a virtual zoom interview. The interviewer said he had just jojned the company a few months back and that i knew more about the role than he did. He said he had 3 more interviews lined up and would get back to me in a week. He also mentioned his boss' name. Are all these good signs to think i did well and managed to impress the interviewer

[mahaahsan]

The hiring manager ask if I was willing to move to another state next year if I were offered the job. Is that a good sign?

[arijarij]

is it ok to send an Email or calling directly the Manager /hiring manager after few days of the interview (7days for exmpl )? instead of waiting for no limits his decision ! ? simply to know if he is still interrested or not ! ..
( in my case, the MAnager called me after i sent my application and he suggested a position that i like and he said" the position will be available in few days( after the employee leave) and i will be in touch .."
he showed hiis consideration but then we talked about more details and i was honest about it .. there is a mission in the position that needs a dutie that i didn't do usally in my work experience
so he said " i thought that you can do this too ..but it s not ! and in this role we need this dutie essencially" .. " i told him that I am a fast learner and I have a good knowledge about it "
he said" i will see i will be in touch if there is any news .. anyway the position will be available in few days .i will be in touch thank you
what does this means?

I was testing the waters, 3 interviews in the last 2 weeks. I got 2 of them on the spot and the last one the interviewer was intimidating as she is so beautiful. So in short, I was really nervous and only providing short answers instead talk more about the subjects. However, she did ask when is my availability. At then end, just thanked her and left. I realised that I don't think I would get the job offer. LOL. That was last Thursday and I will be laughed if I do get the job.

Hi! My final interview was June 22nd and I received a response on my thank you letter after that which they said they are very keen to proceed to next step then asked for my supporting documents. Last June 27, I received an email from them telling me that they are getting the final approval for the job offer and will get back at me in 1-2 days. 3 days after, still got no reply so I sent a follow up email. They said that they are still pending final approval from the bosses, this time without timeline. I checked other job sites and I saw they posted the same post I applied days after my final interview(before they told me they sent final approval). Is this a bad thing? Thanks!

I recently had an interview with Deloitte Partners in Assurance and Advisory and was recommended the next day for a second interview with the Tax partners. I can say I did see the signs in both interviews. I was told that they are still doing interviews and gave me a timeline of 2 weeks for the feedback and I was also told to contact them if I didn't receive a feedback in the timeframe. I'm so confused😕

[batsy]

lol I had none of these signs and I thought interview went really well. Rip other interviews if my best interview did not have any of these signs

[dariconable]

I had a first interview with an associate director and afterwards she wanted me to meet with someone else on the team who would be the same level as me. Met with them today and it is obvious she doesnt make the final decision as the associate director would. In this case would you say the first interview was what mattered and the second was just a taste of what it would be like to work with that person?

Hello! I had an interview with a company last week for an apprenticeship in HGV Mechanic.

The interviewer really liked some of my answers to some of his questions and also liked one of the questions I asked him at the end of the interview and answered it in full telling me all the great things about the company then told me to ask that to one of the other colleagues during the tour of the place. We also had a laugh during some of the discussions we had. It did not actually feel like an interview, it felt like a flowing conversation which was really nice. He did say that there were a few other candidates in touch but he'd be in touch at the end of this week. However he was very complimentary about me to the recruiter.

Is this a good indicator I've most likely got the position?
