I’m a college grad. I had 3 final interviews for agencies in NYC but those have been canceled. Should I look for jobs in other cities or give up entirely (at least for a few weeks)?

Sorry kid, this situation sucks. I’d ramp up networking with people you admire, but wouldn’t push for a job right now. Best thing you can do is expand your network and take advantage of extra time at home for the time being. The good news is that you had 3 final round interviews— that means 3 companies do really want you when they can afford to hire! You’re in better shape than many- the timing is just unfortunate. Maybe reach out to those companies 2ish weeks after they reopen to check in and see if conversations can continue

Thanks much appreciated!

Ask if there’s an opportunity for webex/FaceTime interviews. Good luck! Don’t give up. It might take longer now.

Thank you!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the situation probably won’t be much different in other locations. There’s so much uncertainty now as to how long this will last and what the long-term effect will be. There’s also an issue with on boarding - with IT teams working remote, the only way to get equipment to people is by ordering new equipment shipped direct from the vendor, which is also an additional cost. In many companies, though they may continue to interview, most roles that aren’t immediately mission critical will be on-hold from offers until lockdowns are over.

I applied for two positions at a district court that say ‘open until filled’. I’m going on a cruise in a few weeks and don’t want to miss hearing from HR.
The posting says due to the high number of applicants do not follow up, you will be contacted if chosen for an interview.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
