Yes, the Predictive Index. I never did hear my results, but went pretty far in interviews. Ultimately it didn’t pan out.

Yes. It was called the Predictive Index. I scored as some sort of free thinking leader type. I think they wanted a rule following in the boxer. And I didn’t get the job.

Yeah I had to play some "games" for Unilever and other big companies that compare your playing style to their top performers on the team you're applying for. The games are just gamified behavioral tests.

We ask candidates to take one. It's only two questions, though. Only takes 5 minutes, max, to fill out. We used Predictive Index which is eerily accurate.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

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.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
