What advice would you give someone who is consistently making it to final round interviews, but not landing the role? And what do you think is happening behind the scenes from a hiring manager perspective? It's disheartening to be rejected!

There too :(

sorry :(

Sometimes I think it's not necessarily about what you're doing or not doing, it's just luck of the draw. I've gotten jobs during final interviews where I swore I totally messed up. And then I've felt completely confident that I aced it and still didn't get the job. Sometimes it's just as much about the other people applying as it is about you and your skills.

you're right!

It's important to tap into your competitive spirit. The process is a competition and only one person is going to be the winner. It's possible someone can do very well but still get edged out. It's like those races in the Olympics where a swimmer will lose by a hundredth of a second. It's important to be competitive, at the top of your game, and go into the interview absolutely convinced that you're going to crush it and convince them that you are the person for the job.

good perspective to have, thanks!

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄
