I Interviewed at 3 places. Landed at the at the 3rd. All in all it took about 4 months.

Interviewed at 3 places and got offers from 2. Was actively looking for 1.5 months

Looked June through October, started my new job mid November. Had about 2-3 interviews per week and applied to 10-20 jobs per day. Turned down several follow up interviews after first or second round. There’s A LOT of job seeker competition right now.

Just accepted an offer after looking since april, interviewed with 6 or 7 places

2, but with a lot of work to network first and get in touch with people who could open doors.

Maybe 8 across 2-3 months.

Looked at 20 places and applied to 17, interviewed with 9, made the final round with 5, received offers from 3. Time frame was this past February so roughly 4 weeks.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

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??

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
