I've had three final interviews this month, including presentations and mock calls, and nothing has panned out. I'm starting to wonder what I'm doing wrong at the last stage. What are your tips for finally closing the deal in the final interview?

If you've had three final interviews this month you must be coming across as a solid candidate, yet something seems to be going wrong if you can't land a job. Perhaps just keep in mind that it's a competition and only one person can win, so you have to show up ready to really deliver. Next interview, energize your competitive spirit and resolve to be the person who takes the prize.

I would double check your communication at all times. I understand this is just a posting board, but you improperly used the word “meet” in your grammar. If I noticed any improper grammar in your communication it would be an instant no, regardless of prior performance. There is no way I can risk you talking to our clients that way.

You're clearly doing something right to have made it to multiple final rounds in this job market. Is there a chance you've lost your confidence after making it so far and not getting the offer? Because to me this kind of sounds like a sports term used to describe golfers and NFL kickers that go through rough stretches - "the yips". Basically they have one bad shot or kick after being consistent and reliable for years, it messes with their head, and they begin overthinking everything, which makes the problem worse and the bad streak continue. Again, I have no idea if this is what's going on with you, but if it sounds at all relevant, my advice would be to just relax. Don't over prepare, don't place crazy pressure on yourself, just go in with the goal of having a good conversation with zero expectations that it'll result in an offer. Essentially adopt a "playing with house money" mindset and see if it helps you loosen up and let your personality shine through.

I am sorry to hear that. I know the job market is so rough right now. I have been applying and not even getting any interviews.

You are probably not doing anything wrong. Sometimes it’s just vibes, budgets, or timing. Still, record yourself and see if your “closing tone” sounds more hostage than confident.

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?
