Had a phone interview with Apple today and worried I won’t get to the next round. I think it went good but not sure what she was looking for, the lady didn’t seem impressed. Any help would be awesome

There are people who won't even blink if a 90 year old makes a backflip in front of them, then there are those that "wow" about every second sentence they hear (those are the worst).

Thanks dude :)

Would not worry. I’ve had the opposite: Fun convo. They seemed to like every answer. Told me I came highly recommended and that they’ll bring me on site soon. Then ghosted. Only actions matter. All the rest is noise.

Its frustrating, but I try to remind myself that its a gift. If they treat a stranger this way, they probably treat employees this way too.

“Any help would be awesome”...

What do you want, us to call the recruiter and say that you’re a good guy who they should really give a 2nd chance to?? 🙄
