Seeking advice from anyone who’s ever had to complete a case study as part of an interview process. I just received one for a program management position that’s extremely vague and I have already put hours worth of research into it. Feeling overwhelmed so any advice is appreciated lmao

If you’re moving from an AE into a PM role, at that level you shouldn’t have to do a case study. What type of assignment did they give you?

like

Yeah. They’re just using you to get the research. Then they’ll ghost you when you try and follow up. I would imagine you have decks from previous work that shows your thought process and strategic thinking, along with metrics that you can use in an interview.

Feel free to embellish and take some liberties with this assignment, nobody actually cares about the content. They want to know if you can tell a story and present coherently.

I just did an assignment for a role that I ended up getting. I would have been very pissed if I didn’t get the role and put in all that work. But it worked out for me. The assignment was also vague but they encouraged me to make things up and embellish. They wanted to see my thought process, level of writing, and presentation skills. If you can go back and look at past case studies or other things that the company has put together and published, you can get an idea of what to include.

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…

How important are references on a resume? I'm still at the agency I started at out of college so all my references would be people I work with now...who I don't want to know I'm leaving yet.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

Should all the on-site interviews have a feedback of "hire/ strong hire" in order to proceed to HC?
What if one of rounds was not up to the mark?
