So there’s one large network agency where the CSO refuses to interview me despite hr and other internal recommendations. Lost cause? Any professional way round this issue?

Ik jobs are good and everything, but idk if you want to be a strategist at an agency where the CSO doesn’t like you. Even if it’s (probably) for some BS reason.

I agree with copywriter 1. Don’t go work at a place where the head of your department doesn’t want to hire you. It’s a losing proposition.

Do you know why they refused to interview you.

No

It's the CSO's choice. It might be nothing personal. Maybe they have a different take on what they need. There isn't a world where you override the boss and get hired against their wishes.

Oh, and for clarity I am not the CSO in OP's post.

You may not have the kind of background they’re looking for right now. What are your majors / minors?

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status. Because I don't even have a passport for the country I am a dual citizen for, I didn't even think about the possibile complications this could lead to with my application. I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.

Born in the US and lived here all my life. Am I screwed regardless?

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?
