Had an interview few days ago. I spoke with a CCO and ECD and they were both amazed by my portfolio. They both liked me, at least that’s what they said. Then silence. Shall I keep hoping?

If you haven’t already, shoot them an email saying thanks. Then give them a week. If they’re looking to fill the position they are talking to a few people and will want to meet them all before making any offers.

Already thanked them and followed up with the internal recruiter. Obviously no word yet!

Things are crazy right now and hiring takes a while on a good day. I’d give it the weekend before obsessing too much. (That’s a lie, I’d be obsessing no matter what.)

Check in with your hiring manager/recruiter. I had a similar situation (during COVID, too) but the recruiter took too long to follow up so I found a different position. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Most agencies are on a hiring freeze. For people lucky enough to not be on lay-off lists, their schedules are packed because they’ve got more client work and also are covering for understaffing. Send the ECDs a note once every few weeks about an ad or insight you find interesting that could help with one of their client conversations.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
