Spoke to a recruiter today and she said I have to wait a week before knowing if I get an interview because she is sending her notes to the hiring manager. I also got asked behavioral questions. Last time I interviewed (didn’t get role), the recruiter on the spot told me I would get an interview. Is this common or not a good sign?

Common enough. The hiring manager was probably on the fence about rejecting you outright, so they asked the recruiter to get a little more info from you to help them decide on interview vs reject.

I feel like the common enough v. on the fence of rejecting me are two different things though - like common enough that anyone can expect that to happen to them sometimes (and it’s just an added step) or likely other candidates for the same role and who are stronger were immediately given an interview

Got it ok that’s fair - I’m happy I even got a call regardless of where it takes me lol

For which role?

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️
