Just finished an interview and HR asked to schedule a 15 minute call. Does this mean I got the job? I assumed a rejection would be via email.

They wouldn’t waste time with speaking if you’re rejected. I’d expect positive/ neutral news like hiring slowdown at worst.

More than likely good news! Moving on to the next stage, clarifying your comp expectations, time for a background check or a job offer. Some companies do calls for rejection, but in my experience that’s the exception not the norm.

EYP1 I think you need to figure out your scheduling tools a little better. The minimum you can put in a calendar is not 15 minutes 😂

Don’t mean to scare you, but I got scheduled for a call for them to reject me. The reason I had a feeling was the nature of the email wasn’t as excited. It was short and to the point to schedule a call, previously this recruiter was very friendly and excited via email.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

In desperate need of referrals/recommendations for a reverse recruiter or headhunters that work for job seekers rather than employers.

I’ve spent money on resume services and a career coach so I’ve also invested money that’s landed me nowhere. I can’t think of anything else to try 😔
