Ok so I had an interview, then they gave me a case study which I bombed. Then I went to a networking event where I met a woman who works in the same group and asked me to send her my resume. Now she says she'll send my resume to the same group that gave me the case study.

On a scale of 1-10 how big a waste of time do you think this will be? Should I tell her about the failed case study?

You should had disclosed this with her from the jump. You’re looking at a 5 imo.

I got a complimentary ticket to a luncheon meeting for a professional organization in my industry. I walked in and stopped at a cluster of people who seemed friendly and let me into their circle. This one woman sat next to me, started a light conversation and gave me her card.

Or I can say that God put me in the right place at the right time.

How would you react if someone you liked and offered to pass a resume for told you they tried and failed at a challenging part? She’s probably thinking the same. She also would probably at least talk with you about how to succeed with a second try or have next steps elsewhere.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
