Feeling down. I've interviewed for probably 12 positions (mostly Senior Manager level), and always getting rejected. Is this normal? I do try and ask for feedback, and sometimes they give saying that there just isn't the right fit for your skillset at this time. If so, then why did you interview me? #frustrated

Are you really ready for SM? If yes, are you making it felt during the interview that you are?

For e.g.
- if you talk about the work more than you talk about the client, you’re still a doer and hence Manger.

- if you talk more about the deliverables thank you talk about the budgets, you’re still thinking costs, not profits and hence a manager

I’m not assuming anything here. Just highlighting what shouts out to me during interviews.

Thank you for your feedback....great points

I’m in the same boat been on about the same amount you had since July and even making it to the final round and I get the same feed back. They just want someone else with more experience

For a couple of interviews, I have made it to the final rounds. Majority, first rounds but still got in front of Partners or MDs. Any other info I can provide? Thanks.

What’s your yoe? What’s your yoe as manager?
Some may be biased but still interview you to see if you are an outlier. You need to show up as your best to change those minds.

Thank you. That is really helpful.

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?
