I am in need of suggestions for how to land a job. I have applied for hundreds of jobs and have had multiple interviews. I have interviewed with companies and went through multiple rounds at different levels, cannot seem to land the job. I was let go from my last position as an HR Generalist for no reason and believe that may be what is creating the issue. When it comes to finalist, do you believe someone who was let go opposed to someone who did not, will get the job first?

If you've had multiple interviews that's a good sign, you must be appearing as a strong candidate. If you were let go, in interviews it's best to gloss over that. Always avoid denigrating former employees, that can backfire. It's worth noting that the current job market is difficult, and there's a lot of competition for any opening. So you may be doing well in interviews but someone else may have done just a bit better.

How do they know you were let go? They only know what you tell them. Say that they downsized and your position was eliminated. Talk about how you loved the job, but they had budget cuts.

Well done on getting a lot of responses, that can be hard these days but the right one will come along eventually😁

How do you manage NOT getting overwhelmed with multiple workstreams due in a short time period?
