I've had a few interviews but can't seem to move past the initial conversation. If anyone's willing to offer their thoughts, send me a DM. Thanks!

Yeah, agree with what was said. We look at books we like and THEN bring them in to interview. Are you passionate or low energy during your interviews? Does your personality or humor come through? Do you find things in common with the interviewer?

Look at it this way, these interviews were just practice for the next gig you land. 👍🏼 If you call yourself an average interviewer, maybe by the time you land a new gig, you’ll be pretty darn good at interviewing. Keep your head up. Stay positive. You got this. 💪🏼

Do you do research on the agency you’re interviewing at? Look at their work? Their CCO? What they stand for? Do you speak thoughtfully about your work? What you process is?

They usually don’t bring you into the interview unless they think your book is a match. The interview is a personality match.

This may sound a little bit obvious, but it really wasn’t obvious to me. You have to be super passionate and upbeat about wanting to work at these places in your initial conversations with agencies. That’s the single most thing that worked for me in moving me beyond initial contact. Granted, it may not be the same for everyone, but it’s what worked for me. Early on, it’s really about creating the option of working at the place so that you can make an informed decision later on in the process. GL

It's not dry and dead out there. Started looking only 6 weeks back. Attended 3 interviews. Accepted one offer. Transfer approved in 3 business days. Joining Chase next week. Keep looking guys.
I just went to each of the 'careers' pages.. Updated resume to match the requirements on each posting. Called out on resume that I need immigration sponsorship. Had a cover letter for each posting.
Before that I spent money on getting a professional resume from Monster. Highly recommended. Good luck all.

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews! I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?

I had a interview for Human resources assistant position yesterday and while screening me.

I told her that we can continue if there are similar job opportunities open which there is another position but it has "ALSO" been filled as of today. I was just so irritated. I feel like it was just a waste of my time if I decided to going forward.
