I've been in the running for a sales role since August. Last week, they finally brought me in to meet the team and asked for references. HR made a point to let me know I'm a finalist, but they still have other candidates, too. Why even mention that? Is this normal? My current job is driving me crazy, and this wait is brutal.

Mentioning that there are other candidates doesn't seem that odd, to be honest. If you haven't been chosen yet, of course there are other candidates. I guess they could have let that be unspoken, but it sounds like they were just being honest. The timeframe, however, sounds very odd. I can't imagine what they're waiting for, it's not the British Baking Show, it doesn't have to take weeks and weeks.

They mention other candidates to manage expectations. It is frustrating, but it is normal. If they wanted you out of the running, they would not be asking for references. I would take it as a positive sign and hang in there.

Sorry to hear that. Yes there’s a lot of ghost jobs out there. TheFederal government requires employers not to discriminate that requires them to camouflage their inquiries for promotions and employment like everything else in this country is full of absolute total lie in 100% corruption.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
