Felt that I had a great conversation but didn’t get the final round. Recruiter said that it was a tough decision and it might be that I should shoot for a higher level than the one I applied. Has this happened to you before?

Probably means the job was more solo operator / detail. Perhaps you passed on the wrong op

I was bragging a lot about my sales experience for a manager position in another company. It could also be that the interviewer just doesn’t like my personality?

Could be due to many reasons or there could be more competitive or suitable candidates out there. I got turned down a few times in the final/ last round. If you interviewed for a higher level Sr. Manager role with more responsibility and an assigned sales target and you have not clearly demostrated that you can do this consistanly, it is probably good that they not proceeding with you as they can tell if you just spoke up the stuff vs have done so. Could be a worse outcome if they bring you in and you strugle to stay on top of things.

I mean possibly but I’m already a manager applying for a manager position so I’m not even shooting up.

An Instructional Design Interview with an on-the spot project to complete in 1 hour. Any ideas?

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

Do you still write thank you emails after interviews? A lot of the roles I interview for these days are coordinated by recruiters so I don’t see the interviewers emails

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?
