I had some great interviews in December with a company that has a great reputation. When I followed up last week, HR told me I’m still a top candidate, but things are just moving slowly with their internal reviews. It's now been 10 days since I last heard anything. Is this kind of delay normal for the beginning of the year? I’m still looking at other jobs but I’d really prefer this one.

Give them a little more time, maybe another week, and then send a polite check-in reaffirming your interest. Short, professional follow-ups are completely normal at this stage.

I think that's becoming pretty normal all year round, unfortunately. Hiring has just become really slow for some reason. It took me eight weeks to get my current job and when I asked why that was after I got hired, they said they just have to constantly keep waiting for everybody to do their part and it makes the process very slow!

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute.
