So an initial interview for my dream job, keeps getting pushed back (twice now)...bad sign? Seems like valid reasons and they are a “high-end” place. Freaking out a bit.

If you haven’t seen this yet, days can be volatile, with a lot of unexpected fire drills triggered by any variety of client related drama. The more senior your interviewer, the more likely they are subject to sudden changes in their sked. The role could also be hingeing on an outcome of a piece of business that’s stalled. Don’t assume it’s you; if they weren’t interested suddenly it would just be cancelled outright.

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? 😕
