I attended an on-site interview. One month past, however, I got no feedback even though I approached the recruiter and the interviewer. I think it is the basic respect to give a feedback both negative or positive.

90 day trial period. I got let go at the end of the 90 day trial period at the start of July. I was not told why and at the time I was in no state to ask. How do I go about explaining this in interviews. I feel like it is a dark cloud of my interviews as they all seem to think something negative happened, even though nothing did happen. Do I just take this period off my CV all together ?

I think I've lost my ability to give a good interview. I'm applying for jobs and am getting some interviews but my past job rejections are affecting my nerves. I don't feel confident going in and I'm sure it shows. How can I get out of this frame of mind and regain my self-confidence -- if I ever get another interview?

Here's one for the books - I asked a candidate a standard question "tell me how you handle conflict at work." This young lady stared me dead in the eye and said "I make things right - I get even." I nervously laughed. She was not kidding, she went on about how she "got revenge" on a colleague she had beef with by sabotaging his Powerpoint slides. I thanked her for her time, walked her out. Like, I really stood at the door and made sure she got into her car.

What’s been your experience getting interview calls from cities where you’re not currently based? Do you get interviews frequently from other locations, or do employers mostly focus on local candidates?

How long after a positive interview should I start applying for other positions? I had one a week ago but wasn’t told when I would hear.

Another day, same story: applied for a job, had multiple great interviews, was hinted I’m selected - It's been 10 days, no reply despite follow-ups. The company’s well reputed (150+ staff). We deserve at least a yes or no - HRs are paid to communicate. We put effort too. Some employers respond well, others don’t. Don’t get demotivated - keep applying, keep following up. We need jobs, but professionalism should go both ways. I hope this will help you - just my experience from interviews.

I used to treat interviews like I was begging for a chance. Saying yes to everything. Smiling even when something felt off. Then I met a hiring manager who straight-up said: “We’re not just evaluating you—you should be evaluating us too.” That flipped a switch. I come in prepared with questions. I pay attention to red flags. And weirdly enough? I started getting more offers because I stopped acting like I needed the job. Curious, anyone else ever shifted their interview mindset like this?

Interview tip I wish someone told me earlier.😉As a senior marketer, here’s what I tell everyone! Back then, I'd use list tasks like "I managed socials, I ran ads.” But what hiring managers really want is this: How did you solve problems? Why did you make that choice? What did you learn? Even with limited experience, your thinking is your value. So tell your story like a strategist, not a task-doer. That’s how you stand out. Ever struggled to explain your thought process in an interview?

I had to wait 45 minutes for a job interview recently. The employer was very apologetic and the interview went well, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Would you see this as a red flag?
