I was interviewing for a job, and I was in the middle rounds. The HR manager sent me an email a couple days after my interview to let me know that they were still interviewing other candidates and to stay close by. Then a few days after, I got an email rejection. What happened here? I was surprised by the mixed messages- in my experience you usually don't get an email from HR asking you to wait unless they're interested in you.

Mixed messages are usually a sign of indecision on their end. My guess? You were in the final group, and someone edged you out late. Always annoying, but not personal.

thanks for the thoughts!

A case of crossed wires, or maybe somebody just has the edge in the process. Also surprised that they made the time to send an email, just to send another one days later.

I was surprised too!

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.
