Random question: I have a standing desk and frequently utilize it during the day. I feel more focused when I’m standing vs sitting. Would it be unusual for me to do the admissions interviews/video essays also standing up? It wouldn’t be overly obvious but they would likely be able to tell I wasn’t seated in a chair. Thanks

It’s ok but I would suggest recording yourself beforehand in a practice setting to see how much you move about.

Most people sway or move when they’re standing and talking so you don’t want that to become a distraction for your interviewer.

I had two rounds of discussion (more than a month ago) and the recruiter informed me that they’ll be scheduling the HR discussion and then be rolling out the offer.

It has been two weeks now and I haven’t heard from the recruiter nor has my HR discussion been scheduled.

The recruiter does not answer my calls or reply to e-mails.

Has anyone else faced this while interviewing with KGS (Customer Advisory)?
