Teksystems reference obsession—I get you like references upfront. Even though it’s backwards inside out and opposite of literally everything ever. Fine. But my references are my professional contacts, they’re not waiting all day to answer you repeatedly. Especially before I’m even offered an interview. Hey btw, I’m the effing candidate. I know my skills. And you already tested me on them. Sleazy.

I have been on a planned personal sabbatical this year pursuing personal interests. Now I’m ready to go back to work. I will have next week the second interview with an exec recruiter for a company for a Director level position reporting to the COO of the company. In addition to having relevant experience and accomplishments handy, I would appreciate any pointers for having a good interview at this level.

I have attended an interview last week which had both Technical and Manager Round. The next day, I got mail from a HR to upload the documents in iBegin portal and then the documents were 'Verified' later. Even after 4 days the status in iBegin portal still says as "Candidate registered against job". I am not getting any response from the HR about the current status.

Does this mean that I am rejected? I am confident that I have performed well in the interview.

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet.

Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).
