Have you ever turned down a candidate without providing meaningful feedback? I was informed by a partner that the competition was fierce but that I was too good. Is it similar to the industry roles when several candidates are invited for a single position? Note: bschool recruiting

Things are tight in consulting right now. If this was a UG or MBA interview you could easily be looking at a large reduction in headcount.

Correct. The interview is not a formality, it is a step in the process that is meant to whittle it down. Especially for campus or mba recruiting.

Two weeks ago I attended an interview in person and they promised to let me know whether or not I’d be hired for the position. Later, I learned through LinkedIn that a friend of mine got the job. The agency never contacted me to let me know anything. Should I be mad?

Hi,
My HR discussion with
Cognizant is scheduled.
Is this going to be a salary discussion or questions like strength and weakness, why do you want to join etc?

Hello All, one of the renowned market research company is looking for Industry/Senior Industry analyst position. Eligibility: Minium 7 years of experience as a market researcher in Electronics/Semiconductor/sensor domain.

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
