Had second interview with mid level shop in LA. Is it normal to feel like I lead the interview? There were some silences that I quickly attempted to fill. FYI: it was a late in the day. Was with CD

It’s 100% normal when the people interviewing you have no idea how to conduct an interview. Too many people lack basic professional skills. And too many of them work in our industry.

Sounds about right for LA.

Cont: and accounts person. Went over my book. I made them chuckle/laugh a few times. At the end, they said a few more interview were left & they’d get back to me after the holiday. Guess the vibe was too hard to read, since I did most of the driving.

Better than listening to them talk the entire time.

Interviewed for a sr. PM last Thursday. Was scheduled for 30min but we went to an hour and had a really good conversation. The questions I got asked I was told the answers were perfect by the hiring manager. I felt really good coming out of it but then followed up with an email thanking them for the time the next day and I never received a response or next steps. Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?
