Rant: failed the last interview round, feedback: unauthentic. I just feel they didn't like me, was so clear just wondering how authenticity fits in consulting 🤣

It wasn't until the interviewer got home and started perusing Wikipedia that they found the mistake they made. At that point though, it was getting late so they stopped caring and just forgot about it.

This type of feedback is not helpful. I'd prefer no feedback at all if it were this. Sorry OP about this interview experience.

The feedback does not seem helpful. Take a deep look, though…did you embellish anything? Did you “force” your smile the whole time? Did you display fake passion for a product / job that really wasn’t there? If so, learn from it. Otherwise, don’t pay it any mind and move on to the next one!

Tell them that their feedback is unauthentic

Tell them there’s nothing inauthentic about your love to serve clients needs at any time and in regards to even matters of low importance!

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Hi Fishes, need your guidance. I am having below offers. Please help me to decide.
