Hi,

I interviewed for 2 roles at Mercer. The first round was to record video answering 3 questions which i submitted a month ago, and I have not received any response from the company regarding next process or a rejection. According to me, I did the interview well. Should I keep my hopes up or just give up and move on?

In my experience and that of most people who have recently graduated most of the time you just get ghosted by companies. If your interviews were in person or a video call I might hold on some hope but if it was an automated one I'd move on and keep applying elsewhere

Yeah the job market really sucks! Thank you for your insights.

The truth is that most job postings online aren’t where real hiring happens anymore. To find a solid role today, you need to re‑strategize; focus on referrals, speak directly with people inside the companies you’re targeting, reconnect with former colleagues, and expand your network. A large percentage of roles are filled internally, and many postings exist mainly to meet policy requirements rather than reflect active hiring.

Thank you for your insights. I will try and network more. Problem is that I tried to do that as well, I prepared a financial report for the company and emailed it to senior analysts and sadly no one replied.
