Is it a fair sign that if you keep making it to final rounds, you’re doing most things right and it’s just coming down to timing or luck? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Getting that far should mean something, but when it still doesn’t turn into an offer, it’s hard not to question what you’re missing. Curious how others see it.

This happened to me consistently until i got a new job. At first i thought it was me but then i realized everyone was having a similar experience. It’s really not you. It’s usually that they like someone else better or someone else is more qualified. It’s a really tight job market right now so please do not blame yourself. Just keep applying/networking and something will stick ❤️

I really appreciate you sharing that, it’s genuinely reassuring to hear. It’s so easy to start overthinking when it keeps happening, so that reminder helps a lot. I’ll keep at it and really glad things worked out for you in the end!

It really is timing and luck in this job market. I have been having the same issue looking for a new job. Hang in there—something will come your way.

I really appreciate you saying that. It honestly helps to hear I’m not the only one going through this. I’m starting to feel like it really is a mix of timing and luck at that stage… just tough when you’re so close.

Could be timing, luck or performance. Try to get feedback from each process

That’s a good point, it probably is a mix of everything I’ve tried to get feedback where I can, but it’s honestly pretty rare to get anything these days.

That'd be my takeaway. Most people have their search stall out before it even starts because of resume issues. You've clearly got that nailed down, now you just need to crush the next one and have a little luck. Keep at it. You're doing something right.

That’s a really helpful way to look at it, thank you! It does make me feel better knowing getting to final rounds means I’m at least on the right track. Now it just feels like I need to keep pushing and hope things line up a bit. Really appreciate the encouragement!!

I think that’s fair to say

Yea I think that’s fair

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
