Applied for claim manager job with USAA with 18+ years experience in the field. Got email several days later informing me that more qualified candidates being considered but to keep applying to jobs. Funny thing is, they keep reposting the job that I applied for and was told more qualified candidatates were being considered? My work history and experience would give some indication of my age group and I can’t help but feel I was not considered as I was not a 30 something.

There is a push to hire internals first. If you are told others are more qualified, then you didn't get past HR review. You can say you have various qualifications, however, does it fit the need? This will be the question. Outside hires to a manager is very difficult way to go. To many issues internally to work. Would recommend find another lower position first then a manager role, that would much easier. This company y has changed dramatically since you were here. I started in 1989, USAA is not the same company it used to be.

Usaa is notoriously difficult to get a job at. There are multiple departments with similar positions so they could very well be for different positions. Keep applying and im sure you will get one soon!! It took many people I know 6+ months to land a job there.

Thanks, I actually worked for them from 92 to 2000 and left on good terms. Just frustrating to see a job I am highly qualified for and did for close to two decades reposted after I’m told I wasn’t as qualified as other applicants.

The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

Yoga folks! I used to do yoga and exercise frequently. Things happened, getting back on the wagon. I'd love to work up to a daily practice even if it's just a few mins - but I do need to incorporate other programming as I've got some covid lbs to lose. For those of you who do yoga regularly, wondering how you incorporate and/or balance your practice vs. other types of workouts or if you mostly do strengthening type yoga in that case.
