I’m interviewing with some large companies and my spouse is not being supportive or excited for me. I’m struggling to cope because it almost seems like they’re jealous of me. No “congrats” or “this is great. Good luck” idk how to approach this.

Well if you didn’t get the job yet, why would anyone say congrats?

I’ll never understand why some people are so afraid to simply ask people things. Especially their spouse.

Was there ever a point when they were loudly supportive or do they just have a subdued personality? Also, are they going through their own sadness/depression/stagnation? And also is this desire for verbal support something you’ve vocalized to them?

(Not trying to place blame on you. Just asking for the details before getting to the “they’re a jerk” part)

Tell them, not us. You’ll get 100 opinions but literally none matter except yours and theirs.

I would literally take what you just wrote on this public board and say it, out loud, to your spouse.

That’s where this query belongs.

I'm sorry to hear this-- interviewing is like war prep in my house.
Have an open conversation. Take claim to your feelings and then ask for what you want.
Btw Good Luck and congratulations on your opportunities. If you need a cheerleader drop a DM :)

This would irk me too (lack of excitement, not lack of congratulations - as mentioned above there’s nothing to congratulate you on yet) But the fact that you posted this and needed to specify “big companies” begs the question: are you excited about this for YOU? Or for others to see how well you’re doing?

As someone dating someone who isn’t too verbal but more of a doer, I wouldn’t read it this too much. We both don’t like to broadcast too much until good things are official for fear of jinxing it.

Tell him how you feel and what you need

Some people don’t like to count the chickens before they hatch. So congrats is very premature but yes, a simple ‘good luck’ would be nice. You should ask him if he could help you prepare and see how he responds.

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?

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
