I can't believe that out of 4 warm interviews with hiring managers that I'm totally still empty handed. Ok granted I didn't really want the 1st job but I can do the work and they know it. The guy who interviewed me was a recently hired former colleague from another company we both worked at. Truth be told I was let go but then the company went through 4 rounds of mass layoffs within 2 years so there's that.
I got a rejection letter from 1 (the one I really wanted, actually). Fine. It is what it is.
The 3rd one they said things were slow on the hiring front because it's busy season and that they'll prefer to bring someone on as busy season winds down. April 15th was 2 weeks ago and as they're not going audit review memos I'd think this have time now. Reached out via email on about April 17th. Crickets.
Lastly the 4th one with the long time industry contact. Guy emailed me after he got back from vacation. I responded. Nothing. Emailed him again yesterday after 2 weeks. Still nothing. Ok so he says he has a lot of fires to put out and they the recruiting process at the large corporation he's at takes forever but I did see you job reposted a few days ago. Maybe they've decided not to hire me and are looking for someone else?
I don't understand how after all this momentum that I'm still empty-handed. I thought all the interviews went well, especially the last one. If I can't get a job this way how else am I going to get a job?
