This might be a controversial take, but when I start going through the interview process I always have one burner at the start. One I know I won’t do that great at/don’t really care about just get back in the game. Not saying intentionally bomb it, but get back in the groove of what to expect and what to say.

Yeah definitely don't go into the dream job interview first. Get some reps in to ease your nerves, work on your pitch, and practice some responses.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

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
