100% of the time, until all of a sudden it has to happen right now, and then can you start tomorrow?

In my experience you either get the job (eventually, on their timetable) or you just never hear from anybody again and have no idea what happened.

I interviewed for something once, got flown out, met everybody, even got shown where my office would be (and I said “IF it happens,” and the ECD said “well...I think it’s gonna happen.”), driven to the airport....and then nothing ever again. So who the hell knows.

Better question is how often do they not happen. Answer: not often.

If they haven’t told you no, you’re probably in consideration. Timelines are made to be broken.

All the time.

Constantly.

Nearly every time unless the opening was to fill a crucial unexpected vacancy. Capacity needs change on a dime in this business

Yeah it usually has to do with finance delaying an offer or the ECD not respond to an email from recruiting

Oh boy...5 months.

Hi guys. Has anyone attended the @Autodesk frontend interview? How was your experience?

Are cover letters important if they don’t ask for one? There are so many job postings and applicants I can’t tell if they would be beneficial to show effort or just a waste of time to write with how little time I assume people are looking at applications with the mass hiring going on. If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
