Has anyone ever interviewed for/know someone who has interviewed for a corporate CEO job? What does the interview process actually entail? Or is the successor usually hand-picked?

From Senior Associate to CEO . They won’t handpick you but have to interview I guess

I am not a CEO, but based on my experiences in organizations I have been a part of, CEOs are rarely hired from outside of the company. Potential CEOs are groomed by current CEOs; they’re almost always from within the organization. Unless we’re talking about major Fortune 500 organizations, they’ll usually come from within an org.

Ok if the work environment is toxic and the manager totally unsupportive ... And eventually you leave the job ... During interviews when the HR asks you why did you leave the job ?

Then what should be the answer to this question ?

Interviews need to be monitored and recorded. I can’t tell you how many disappointed dreams I have been sold. It is a complete waste of time to really wait around to be wishful of a call. Gathering up 10 potential applicants to narrow it down to a top 3 and only make one offer is not acceptable. Much like jury duty, applicants should be compensated for their time.

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

I currently work as an account manager at a tech company and I am trying to pivot into people ops/recruiting but it has been a real struggle to get my foot in the door. My CV seems to be strong enough to get me some interviews but I keep hitting a wall. Any advice is much appreciated.
