Hi all just wondering if someone can give me some advice. I’m currently going through the recruitment process for MSD, and had an email requiring me to do an online assessment within 3 days, does anyone know the nature of the assessment? I’ve seen some comments saying it’s mostly personality based, but it doesn’t exactly give me a lot of time to prepare! I’m terrified and I’ve never done tests like this before. Thank you very much!

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.

Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?
