I’ve interviewed with 5 companies, and thought I did well. One company was 3 interviews. Upon following up with each one, they have all told me that they have decided not to fill the position. Does this sound normal? Did they hire someone else, and that is the standard rejection phrase now?

It's high school 3.0. When they keep reposting jobs, it means managament is to blame. 1/5 people in America has some form of mental illness and baby boomers are way up there in age. Just look at sleepy, absent minded Joe.

I've been getting the follow up email which says "due to unforseen circumstances we arent moving forward in the hiring process" or we are putting the job on hold for now. I also feel they check my age and maybe they'd rather hire someone younger.
Its never been easy, these are just new reasons why. You have to stay focused and know that eventually you will get hired.

I have seen that become a common phrase lately. I don't like it personally. I would say often times it's real, but other times, it’s a soft “no” when they’ve moved on with another candidate and want to avoid pushback or questions. The market's been finnicky where roles open up, go quiet, open again.

That seems to be a trend lately, companies going through the motions but not actually hiring. I can only assume it's related to the trade war and people being apprehensive about adding to the payroll. No one wants to hire people if the country is about to be pushed into a recession.

This has been happening since before the trade war and I fully believe it has to do with government metrics. During bidens admin, they loved to brag about the "jobs they created" when job boards are fluffed up with unavailable jobs and jobs get a kickback for having new roles appear available, but aren't measured by actual hiring or retention

I would say it doesn't sound normal except that in this job market, that is happening more and more frequently. Due to budget cuts companies may start looking for someone and then decide they can't hire for the role. So that probably is legit.

Are u a green haired , them/they , non-binary LGBTq+ etc ??? ..... If so, obvious answer is obvious ....

Absolutely not. I am however beginning to wonder if it’s ageism. I’m gen X and it’s younger people doing the interviewing. I had a great work history, started companies, launched some companies, was in directorship roles, etc. I have a lot to offer in my field, and yet they don’t seem interested.

Sir, I have been working as a delivery driver and merchandiser track driver in Qatar for 11 years.

Even in the Christian world, we can learn from secular teachers and scholars who have familiarized themselves with Biblical principles, even if they do not realize it. Who are some of these that you follow? Do you follow them often or sporadically? Currently I'm listening to the Jordan Peterson podcasts....www.jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/. Lots of great information from this psychologist who eventually found Christ. He has several audio books out as well. Worth your time to listen IMO...

I had my first technical round of interview as Sr. Android developer with Tech Mahindra and It went well. How long does it take to know about the result. Also how many rounds are there?

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.
Last tech + managerial round was on 10th Nov. Got HR call on 17th Nov. Told my expected package and she didn't seem to have any issue. On 22nd Nov, got a call from the consultant at taggd who has been arranging all my interviews. Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?

Sleeping tips??

Ever since Covid I’ve started having trouble sleeping because I dream of attacks happening in various locations (weird I know). I’m normally *very* practical/pragmatic about that sort of thing, and I’m fine again once I wake up, so I’m pretty sure it’s just a reflection of feeling like I can’t control the situation as every time I can’t seem to stop my fiancé from dying no matter what I do :(
