AVOID AGODA AT ALL COSTS. First they only had interview times 7pm to 3am, none during working hours. Then come interview time, I wait 3+ minutes in no one shows up and then I get an automatic email saying the interview has been canceled. I also then get an auto email saying they moved on but the recruiter emails a few minutes later saying they are trying to reschedule. A waste of my time and money preparing, putting on makeup, outfit and contacts, and skipping dinner.

Did you consider that a company with an HQ on the other side of the world (12 hours ahead of New York) has interview times during its working hours instead of yours? If you've ever conducted job interviews, it'd be an insane ask to make your employees interview prospects at 3am - 7am/pm is a reasonable compromise for everyone. (I don't know enough about the company to defend it, so I could be totally wrong here, but am I??)

I feel you on canceling the interview, standing you up, and disorganized HR confusion like that though, I've been there many times and it sucks.

I wish they had interviewers with closer local times, but I would be able to make some evening times work. But I mostly posted because of the ghosting and wasting my time when they could have canceled before the interview instead of being silent.

Agoda recruiters like to ghost candidates and yes its not just you that it happens to.

I have built social media and influencer programs for starts up for the last 8 years. I recently had a very unprofessional experience recently going through an interview process. I had 3 rounds of interviews already, did an amazing case, my last interview was scheduled with the CMO, the day before the interview I am told that the CMO wants someone who has big brand experience like Taco Bell or Nike. It blew my mind because this is a start-up too & that my qualifications don’t even matter.

This job market is insane right now.

Now, with all of these layoffs... employers have the upper hand, and it's super competitive to land the job.

I work full time as a senior manager (L7) at Amazon. I've passed one the hardest interview that Amazon has to be a part of the executive team.

I started coaching on the side and really fell in love with it. I've helped a ton of people land their dream job!

If you need a career coach or help with prepping for your next interview. DM me or comment!
