Getting ghosted after final interviews is disheartening. Candidates invest time, energy, and hope—often going through multiple rigorous rounds. A simple “we’ve moved forward with another candidate” would offer much-needed closure.
I recently reached final rounds with several companies, followed up politely… and heard nothing.
Professional courtesy matters. Candidates deserve acknowledgment and respect for the time and dedication they bring to the process.

Hello all,

I have given my round 2 interview at Capgemini Invent. During interview i forgot to keep the govt id with me, can this be a reason for rejecting the candidate. I have shown the softcopy of id available in my mobile. But don't know if that was accepted.

Folks who exited to Google - how long after your final round did you have you wait before getting the decision? How was the decision communicated? Would love to also hear if you were confident you’d get the offer because you crushed it, or if you felt you had a mixed interview but still eventually got the offer.

Has anyone gone through the interview process for sr program manager position? What was that like and any tips on how to prepare? Thanks!

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)
