It makes it tricky when they don't give a reason... was there anything you felt you could have done better during the interview process?

I get that. They must have had someone else they found to be a better fit; in that case, hang in there because it's a sign that you'll end up somewhere that's actually a good fit for you!

Did you ask for any explanation why you are denied? If they did not give you then you should proactively ask for it.

Agencies in my state don’t give reasons and are not really required to. I guess it would be best to think what was last step of process you left off on that you got denied at. For me that was the pt for state troopers I did everything else but didn’t pass the pt in time so that is what to work on in my case. The agencies in my state stress honesty too. Hiding stuff gets more people dq then just about anything else, and had they just been fourth coming it wouldn’t have been an issue.

Also don’t get discouraged if one agency denies you if your state allows apply for another they all got different things they expect/are looking for. Like in my case just because I got denied at state troopers, don’t mean I can’t apply with city or county. Only time that would be an issue if state board denied me certification because they do it for whole state.

Definitely always ask. I think most will tell you, if you ask.

What is the average amount of time to fill a role? How long in advance should a recruiter start working with a hiring manager to get their position posted? I think it depends on the industry but curious to hear if there is a national average and if that number is even realistic given the increased number of roles in the market. Also curious to know what average numbers some of you are seeing in your companies.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Guys, how many rounds of interview for business analyst? How's the client round will be?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
