I used to have Linda the online training, but when LinkedIn purchased it I had the benefit of the online trainings and LinkedIn pro now. It’s been relatively useful for hunting down recruiters/hiring managers to roles I’m interested in, as well as “seeing who is stalking you”, and the extra inmails come in handy for reaching out as well.

Hi Fishes,
I had a technical discussion for HCL on 3rd Oct. It's been more than a week. I still haven't received a status on that interview. I have also received a "Resume shortlisted" mail from their careers app after a week.
Does it mean I'm selected? There's no intimation of the status at all. The HR don't reply on mails/calls.
Can anybody advise on this of they been through the same.

Does this ever happened with anyone that your interview went very good and then also you got rejection mail from hr and unable to understand what when wrong. The same thing happened with me yesterday for coinswitch data engineer profile. Solved all the questions and actually gave some suggestions also , but today got rejection mail.😂😂
