Can anyone share any good vibes with me? I’ve been applying since November to several roles I find on LinkedIn and some directly on employer’s sites. 4 of my applications say “under consideration” for a couple weeks now. Is there any hope that I will hear back for an interview? I know it takes time but 4-5 years ago if they thought you were a good candidate they responded right away. The process seems quite different now since there are hundreds of applicants for 1 job. Thoughts?

You've basically summed up my job hunting experience. Months and months of searching, hardly ever hearing back, only getting rejections if I do. You're spot on - things are completely different than they were 5 years ago. I've never struggled so much just to get interviews.

That said, we all know the phrase “when it rains it pours” so I wouldn’t be surprised if you hear back from all 4 to 5 positions at the same time.

Thanks, that’s what I need to hear. 😊

Under consideration is a standard status in workday, I wouldn’t expect much unless you get a recruiter screening. You need to keep applying.

My rule of thumb is that if I haven't heard back within the first 2 weeks, I'm not being considered. There's been 1 or 2 exceptions to this in the 100+ data points I have, but those were within the first 4 weeks.

I am passing all the good vibes on to you. Hang in there. The job market is really rough right now. I have been looking for 8 months and haven't been able to find something either. Hang in there.

My experience has always been job hunting and applications and hearing back and the interview process takes longer than I would like it to as the person looking for the job. Personally, it doesn’t feel like things are going slower than normal.

My process has been to check in to the status weekly for a month, then close it off in my tracker. I'm not going to waste my energy on wondering about the "maybe"s. Since I started shifting my mindset and giving them a quantitative "due date" for lack of a better term, I started feeling less and less frustrated with the job search process.

I’m not sure what’s up with recruiting these days. I came across an email address on the applicant site and asked them if they could provide me an update after 3 weeks of not hearing anything. They replied saying it takes time because they review every applicant. I waited another week and said I appreciate the time they spend reviewing applications. Then just ended the email saying I’m still interested and mentioned a couple highlights on how my skills align with the role. An hour later they emailed me an invite for a phone screening. The first one I’ve gotten in 2 months of applying. Just shows you have to be persistent.

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.

Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
