How bold are you? For those seeking multiple jobs, you're required to go through the interview process several times. Part of this process gives you an opportunity to showcase your talents and prove that you are the best candidate.

Generally near the end of the interview, you are asked if you have any questions. Typical questions are related to salary, PTO, and benefits, but have you ever asked why you wouldn't want to work for the (potential) employer?

When you’re asking your questions, they should not have to do with benefits, PTO or salary. You should be asking about the culture of the company. Remember, you’re interviewing them as much as their interviewing you.

Excellent point! Although the employer generally acts like they are the sole decision maker of employment, you have the same power to decide if the job is a good fit for you.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
