I recently applied for a gov’t position through the USAJobs site and checked my application status today and saw that it changed to “Eligible - Referred for Selection Consideration” This may be a dumb question, but what does this mean? Will I be selected for an interview?? Obviously I’m not familiar with gov’t terms.

Update: forgot to mention that the job announcement stated that the position did NOT have an education requirement, however, the Grade description states that the “normal” requirement is a Doctorate degree 😳 is this confusing to just me???

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

He also asked me the same questions (at least that's how I interpreted) and I had to repeat the same answer. Continue in the comments:

I have a few interviews lined up, which is great, but I have terrible anxiety. As I’m preparing, I feel like I’m completely forgetting who I am and can’t answer simple questions like “Can you tell me about your career accomplishments?” I don’t have much career experience since I only graduated in 2021. Any advice?
