I recently interviewed for my dream job at a dream company. The interview went well, the HR colleague followed up to let me know that from the interviewer (department head for the role). But then HR contacted me a couple weeks after to say they are have a hiring freeze. Is it weird if I contact the interviewer or add them on LinkedIn to keep in touch and so they know I’m still interested? I’ve not really done this before so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

No it’s not weird. If I really like the role or recruiter I’ll email back saying I’d love to keep in touch for future opportunities, thank them for being helpful through the process, say I added them on LinkedIn and link mine in the email. I’ve had recruiters add me back before. Didn’t led to a job for me but it’s nice to keep for future in case

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
