I had a second interview for a Corporate Facilities Director role and I felt it went well. 1hr and half interview one on one with the executive director. I have never had an interview this long, we talked about the role quite a bit and connected on a personal level. He said if I were to chosen there is a third round with the VP. Is a long interview a good sign?

Applying to Meta, if you can refer me that would be helpful. 🙏

Waiting to hear back from an application. Not on waitlist or anything but decision should be available in 2-3 weeks. I’ve already interviewed. Just found out that a family friend of mine was on the board for said school.

Is it worth asking for a rec letter to send as an “update” even though the decision is so soon? Guessing the answer would be “won’t hurt” but I was also planning on leveraging this as an opportunity for a potential re-application to show “improvement”

If a recruiter reaches out, you have a great initial convo then they say they’ll follow-up shortly with next steps and don’t (after 7 biz days). Is it worth following-up? My sense is if they were interested they would be pushing the process forward?
