Have you ever came across a candidate who performed really well in the interview, but was very bad at the job.

I’m sure it happens a lot but I come to realized that it might not be because they are incapable of doing the job but perhaps struggling to find their grounds. If they have the right attitude, there’s still hope?

Yes, this is definitely the case sometimes. And other times it has been over 2 years and you start to lose hope.

I had a friend who was like this. She was very likeable when people met her and could woo her way into a job through the interview but she was a terrible performer. This is what happens when you have management that hires people based on their “like ability” and social skills but who have bad work ethic and no technical skills and no interest in learning them.

A lot!! But how could you tell if they ace the interview process, right? You cant give them an exam or something to gauge how good are they in technical or if they fast learner, etc. Many people good at sweet talking.

I’m taking the GMAT in September and would like to include my score on my applications to other firms. Based on what I’m getting in practice, it would significantly improve my resume. However, I heard many firms, particularly MBB, have hiring windows in August, so applying later would hurt my chances. Is this true, and if so, when should I apply? Is it possible to apply earlier and then fill in the recruiter on my GMAT score while I’m in the process?

I interviewed at company A and B. Company A sent me an offer, however I really want to work at company B, and they said they would get back to me last week and still have not even after following up. Is it pushy or frowned upon to tell company B that I got an offer from company A so can they hurry the hell up and tell me if I’m getting an offer from them. Company B also said there is still a round of reference checks left and the holidays are coming up.. help! What should I do?
