Also, don’t be modest when discussing the impact. State the impact (with reference to some sort of measurable metric) that you personally had. Or just take the credit. Basically, avoid saying ‘we’ too much. You can say you are a team player but you should also make clear you were the most impactful member of that team.

I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?
