Not usually one to be selective but I'm about to give up on in-person interviews. I'm so tired of spending money on gas or Uber just to get ghosted or rejected. I just had one where I showed up and could tell immediately they weren't serious and sure enough, the job posting disappeared after. Phone interviews feel more respectful of everyone's time. How do you all decide which interviews are worth the trip?

If I really wanted the job, I'd haul myself to wherever I'd have to be and do the interview. It's not complicated. I generally feel that I'm more effective in person, but that may just be because virtual interviews still feel awkward to me. I'm all for respecting people's time, but if I'm trying to land a job I'm not going to worry too much about putting time into it.

I’ve been burned the same way. Now I only agree to in-person if I’ve already had at least one solid phone or video call where the role feels legit.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
