Can’t tell if the people I interviewed with didn’t like me, were indifferent or just cold people....how do you deal with an interviewer you can’t connect with or “crack” to make it a personable convo?

Interviews work both ways I think, almost like a first date. If you feel like you can’t connect with someone it’s probably not a good idea to work with them.

Unfortunately, sometimes it's just not going to happen. I was working with an external recruiter who set up a call with an internal recruiter. I could tell off the bat it wasn't going to go well. He was in a bad mood, clearly wasn't knowledgeable about the field so didn't understand my answers, and was super bitchy about me refusing to tell him my current salary. I gave that feedback to the external recruiter and he said he'd gotten that feedback from several people. It wasn't my fault, and I was a good candidate but unsurprisingly they didn't move forward with me. Also if a company doesn't care enough about who they use as the first introduction to their company, maybe that says something about the company..

Also, sometimes I've had interviews I thought went really badly and found out after that they loved me. So you never really know.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
