It was my very first interview after college, I interviewed for some product type role...I think it was marketing actually, but anyway they asked me if I had tried the product and was like 'oh nope, I was thinking about it but decided not to!' - I don't think they liked that answr, never heard back haha

funny

Lol ! That’s funny !!

I once mispronounced the word part in an interview. I said fart. I was nervous. I didn't call attention to the blunder, just kept on going......got the job.

funny

Haha ! Hey at least you got it made a good impression overall !

I once called my interviewer by his first name; like I am so comfortable with him. I just met the man 5 minutes ago. I know I turned 50 shades of red. He cleared his throat and we moved on. Ugh!

funny

Hey it’s ok I’ve done that too!!! I mean nerves get the best of us sometimes !!

Oh man, all theses stories are golden. One time, in the COVID world, I was trying to do a zoom interview with someone. I was the interviewer. The other person who was trying to get the job could not figure out how to turn on his camera to save his life. It was so sad.

funny

Ohhhh geez they would never survive wfh era !!

I had a zoom interview I was doing in my car as my job at the time didn’t know I was looking. My phone overheated and died 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Ohhhh man I can see that happening for sure !

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Okay so, I find myself in a tough situation. Recently, my professional license became jeopardized. There’s many details that I rather not share publicly just incase, but trust me when I say that this was over a ridiculous complaint that wasn’t serious. I have an attorney involved working with me on an appeal, but I’m really nervous and feel that I morally made the right decisions in the situation that I faced.
