Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

THEM: Why are you interested in working here?
ME: Because you’re the only ones who called me back for an interview.
Them: Why are you interested in this agency/account?
Me: Because my current agency is like the Titanic and if I go down my family will also suffer
Them: what are you looking for in your next job?
Me: same as everyone, more money, shorter hours and the chance to do better work.
Them: Why did you leave your last job?
Me: I didn’t believe in the leadership, and my job was to sell the leadership’s vision to everyone else, so they fired me.
What I actually said: We lost an account due to network consolidation.
Them: why did you leave your latest job?
Me: I was fired because I stood up for myself and took up space as a woman in a backstabbing, corporate, misogynistic culture.
Them: what’s your biggest weakness?
Me: I get frustrated/stressed out by annoying clients and take their comments personally
@dr1 You get a like yourself
Them: what were you thinking for salary?
Me: everything you got budgeted for the job plus 20%
Them: What did you love most about your previous job?
Me: Can you repeat the question? It appeared that you were implying I loved anything about my previous job.
Them: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: ideally or realistically?
Them: What attracted you to this job?
Me: I hear your checks don’t bounce.
🔥🔥🔥
Them: why do you want to leave your agency?
Me: because they suck and I need a better life
Them: are you currently working?
Me: no
Them: why’d you leave?
Me: because my direct boss was a coward and her boss was a total fraud so it left me no one to respect
Them: Why did you leave your last job?
Me: I took the advice of a meme I saw on Linkedin and hired smart people to tell me what they wanted to do. They told me they wanted to take my job.
What I said instead: Agency restructuring.
Them: Why are you looking for a new opportunity?
Honestly: My current boss has no idea what she is doing and uses me as a scapegoat when things go wrong. Based on the lack of creativity in your questions I imagine you will be a equally stupid boss as well, but I have mastered the art of managing up and believe I can’t train her, but feel there is a possibility to educate you.
My response: Lack of career advancement.
Them: why are you looking for another agency at this time?
Me: My Account Director and our CCO are sleeping together and it is the most uncomfortable environment I’ve ever been in.
What I actually said: I’d like to expand my experience into other verticals.
What do you do for fun?
Me: Get stoned, drink wine, and talk about the daily silly decisions that get made by clients or internally. Next Question.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Q: Why’d you leave?
A: I didn’t leave, YOU LEFT!
Actual: Done my time. Wanted a new challenge.
Them: Why did you leave your last job?
Me: The agency was having financial woes and they didn’t want THAT word to get out- so they fired me instead- to save face (and money) and assign blame elsewhere. No leadership (The Emperor has no clothes), no vision, no accountability, no culture, and accounts leaving faster than we could win new ones. Did I mention no respect for creative?
Actual: The agency was having financial woes.
