I've been ghosted after a "sure thing" interview. The hiring manager was super enthusiastic last week and said they'd call within 48 hours. It's been almost a week now, and nothing. Why would a manager completely stop communicating after basically offering me the job? Is it time to send a follow-up, or just let it go?

Is it a very large company? It’s possible that budget restrictions require the job rec to be passed off to another group with more immediate need so delay to hire will occur or a nepo candidate got ninja’ed into the situation. It all depends on company and culture and budgets.

I am sorry about that. Nothing is a sure thing. Still worth it to take a minute and follow up, just don’t wait around on anything ever.

Pump the brakes. There are any number of reasons they could have temporarily gone silent. Maybe they had something else come up that demanded their attention. Maybe they needed to confer with someone else before making you an offer and haven't been able to yet. Maybe it just slipped their mind. No matter what, a week really isn't that long to go without hearing from them, even in this situation where a call was promised. Send a follow up and see what happens.

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

Hi Fellow Fishies,

I am reaching out because I was recently contacted to interview for Cigna Provider Engagement Development Program. I wanted to see if I could connect with anyone on here that I can help give a breakdown of what this program entails, day-to-day, and WLB. Any tips on the interview and interview process for anyone working in this position? I would be truly grateful for any help or information that can be provided!

During the pandemic we started incorporating SparkHire for one way video interviews and now my hiring managers are super attached to it. It was intended to cut down on rounds of interviews - one SparkHire + 1 in person meeting. But now I'm seeing a lot of candidates drop off and not follow through on the spark hire. Is there any argument to hold onto one way video interviews anymore or should I drop it?
