Are they comfortable and confident without arrogance? People who exude stress and overwork are. And they will bring that to you everyday. Did they ask you the right questions? Did they listen or just wait to talk? Ask about what you want. What will make you happy. What you dislike. I’ve always found bosses who are super comfortable with themselves and confident in where they are and what they know who are concerned with keeping the people around them happy and fulfilled make the best bosses. Lateness happens. Reschedules happen. The other things are important.

If they talk about themselves the entire time, that might be a red flag. But if they want to talk about you the entire time, that’s a good sign they genuinely care about growing and developing talent. Not just being in charge

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status.

I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.

Born in the US and lived here all my life. Am I screwed regardless?
