I was short listed for a company and I am not entirely sure what exactly were they looking for but I match everything that was provided on th job description and more. Why on the past said circa 1990s was easier to land a job and now it has become almost impossible? Even when people are quitting by numbers due to other priorities and pandemic, it seems almost ludicrous to have super high expectations specially now post pandemic.

Sorry to hear that, I just went through a similar situation, fully qualified and told I was first pick them nothing. A week later they filled the position. All is can say is keep your chin up, although we may have been right for them maybe those positions weren’t right for us!

The best thing to do is to ask for feedback to understand what happened. Maybe there was another candidate that was a better match, maybe you did not perform as well as you thought, etc. Use this as an opportunity to show them that you're still interested if something else comes up and to improve yourself.

Do internships count towards years of experience? I held my first design internship in 12th grade (2016), and have since held at least one internship per semester throughout college, all related to my career path - but they were all part time. In my last semester of college (May 2020 grad), I worked as a full time contractor for 18mos. I freelanced after, before working as an FTE the past year.

When asked how many years of experience I have, how should I answer?

Thanks in advance!

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%). Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do? A company I’m interviewing with offers equity, and they say they anticipate going IPO or being bought out by a larger company in the industry. I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.
