Started a new role that’s just not the right fit so have been interviewing elsewhere but I’ve gotten to the point where I have too many interviews (definitely not a bad problem to have so I’m thankful) but with each of these having a case, multiple interviews it’s insanely time consuming. I am remote so it’s a little bit easier to just block off time but I also don’t want to be too suspicious. Any tips?

What are they gonna do, fire you?

In all seriousness it’s ok only be available during a few blocks for interviews.

Low key would happily be fired from here😂

Try scheduling them before & after work (ie. if you are CST, do 8am EST or 4pm PST)! Also, if you’re flexible around lunch, that’s the best time to schedule them. In my case, I tended to give 11:30-2pm as my open window & would take ‘lunch’ during those conversations.

Do your best to pace yourself - it’s easy to get burnt out not taking any breaks during the day and always being ‘on’!

Totally in the same boat right now. I’ve been at my company for 8 months and realized I need to get out. Kinda went overboard with talking to hiring managers, recruiters and referrers, and now my days are filled with at least 2 different interviews everyday
