K1 is right, you tell everyone they’re your priority while interviewing everywhere. Nothing is real until it’s on paper.

Yes! I just got a new job and I let my new company know that from the start. When I got other offers to told my favorite one that I had offers but that their company was my first choice.

From the HCM side I would say it’s helpful. I worked in talent acquisition before and it’s good to know which candidates really want to be part of your team. Gets them to promote you more.

Every opp is your first choice buddy.

10 open Leadership Supervisor positions.
Almost 30 applicants.

I said that "People come to me about process issues, and I worked with others to better that process for them and the team."
Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?
