Yes very normal

Thanks. I did ask for a new date twice and was told they could only offer the two days provided and wasn’t sure if I should push again. Also do candidates normally receive feedback after the first round?

I’ve heard that you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for more time if you need it

Yeah I did but said they couldn’t accommodate so here we are.

Wow im surprised they cant accomodate. If you have a busy working schedule, I think you can try to find a solution with them.. unless you feel ready

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so I want to write something that won’t be overlooked. Any advice is appreciated:)
