I've been rejected after a 5 stages interview and the company offered to organize a feedback call. It's the first time it happens, not many companies provide this opportunity. What's the best approach I could have to make the most of it? What are some key questions I could ask?

Jeez!!! You went 5 rounds!! You are a trooper. I would ask how come I was not hired?

Reminds me of a company that made me take an assessment that was over 2 hours long and 80+ questions, only to have my interview cancelled. If you want to review them just say job seekers have other things to do and wasting your time and efforts just to end up rejecting you after 5 rounds seems sketchy. Unless it's a normal thing in your field

Quite common in my field, apparently. Also for my current company I sat through 5 rounds. Very energy consuming.

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.

Does it bother you if a recruiter/agency posts a job opening on LinkedIn and the only way to apply is by responding in the comments?

I personally don’t like that approach for many reasons. Just wondering if I’m the only one.

I completed my HR discussion in capgemini one week back. My HR told she will send mail with a amcat test link. But till now i didn't receive any such mail(6 days passed). Am i rejected or will it take some time to send mail?

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice
