#interviewing

Anyone know what the impacts are yet from Julie's announcements? I left in Summer 2024, and I have been interviewing to come back. The final round has been on hold until the set the final organizational changes. Seems the leaders dont have a clue what's up in USBU, GPD(now international).
Any hints?

Hi everyone, interviewing for this role (in Charlotte) later this week. Job announcement had no salary listed, so anyone know a range? New to Wells Fargo, so no clue. Thank you!

Why even post a position when they had a reduction in staff rolls available for this year? I’m assuming due to layoffs.

The job market is terrible, but the unprofessionalism makes it worse. I've been left hanging after final interviews twice now. Since when did it become okay to just vanish on a candidate? It adds a whole other layer of stress to an already hard process.

How long should it take for me to get an interview and potentially get hired? When should I tell my current manager? Before I apply or once I get an offer ?

14,000 +16,000=30,000 Ex-AWS-ers getting ready for "Tell me about a time...." x 25 in one loop interview

I’ve agreed to go out for an interview with a competitor. Never thought it would be me looking for roles outside of XOM. I’ve enjoyed my career for the most part, and have generally been ranked well in my 10 years. Past couple of years I got 10%+ raises, but I feel like that’s just a fluke and worse times are around the corner.

It’s sometimes hard to picture leaving when I think of the long term pension and the comfortable career I have. Am I an id--t or is this the moment to leap into the unknown?

After eight interviews, one of which went for five rounds, I still have nothing. I’m starting to develop a complex.

I have applied over 90 roles at Fidelity, not a single call for interview and it comes back as they are moving forward with other candidates. If the company and specially hiring manager has someone in their circle or known group member to hire why post it and wasting my time. I like Fidelity culture, benefits, despite of their low pay scale as their 401k, bonus and other things make up of that pay

I read a post about new hires getting pushed back, and it sprouted a question from when I was interviewed by Fidelity. I was laid off x amount of years ago, and had an interview with a job at Fidelity that got cancelled shortly after I interviewed. I was just wondering what that could be.

A few months after I was laid off from Fidelity, I was given another interview with the firm. It was in the product area I got laid off from. When I interviewed, I was able to articulate my work at Fidelity prior to my layoff very well. I got a vast majority of the interview questions correct, and showed a very agreeable attitude and ability to jive with the team. I think they appreciated my curiosity for the work the team does, as well as me asking some questions about how our team provides that value. It felt like we really liked each other: the interviewers and manager were smiling and joking with me in the call, too. All while keeping everything professional. The feedback even said I did really well, but was constructive in 1 or 2 places I agreed with.

It looked like a potentially perfect fit. After the interview, I felt as if I KNEW I got the role. However, apparently, there ended up being a new manager who “repurposed the requisition” (I believe the new manager wanted someone more senior level). The recruiter provided reasonable constructive feedback to me, and said “yo let’s call again this week to look at other roles”. I never heard from that recruiter again.

The impact of a layoff seems to depend on the person. For most of us (including me), it’s he-l. It already su-ks when a company pulls a job you just interviewed for. I can’t calculate what exponent the su-kiness factor is multiplied by when the company that laid you off in the first place is the one pulling it after an interview. I asked Fidelity HR about it once. From what Fidelity HR told me, I’m in good standing with the company. Although I realized that maybe Fidelity had something about me or my performance that they aren’t showing to me since I’m out of the company, my layoff status still had nothing performance related. So… idk why I never got a response back.

Have I moved on from it? Well, I’m here talking about it on a public forum, asking what possibly made this happen, so you tell me if I got closure. At least I’m in a place much better for me now, and it’s all love from me with (most of) the people who work there. I have no regrets working at Fidelity and I think being laid off made me a better person, and led me to where I am today. Again, a layoff’s impact on someone is purely individual.

Bringing up the title of this post, without giving too much of my identity, what is the reason behind something like this? I was viewed as an easy pickup who knew the product area already, had natural chemistry with team members, and could have been an immediate positive impact on not only my own work, but helping other people right from day 1. And it gets pulled out of nowhere. Made no sense to me. On top of that, why’d the recruiter ghost me? HR said straight up there’s nothing bad on my record, so I was fumbling around trying to figure out if I offended anybody.

If anyone could give me a comprehensive list of possibilities as to why I was ghosted or why this happened, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, happy holidays!

Former V Teamer here. I severed back in '23. I landed a new job after 3 months as a call center director. The call center I run has doubled in size over the past two years. In my experience, its very eye opening that so many qualified workers are just not good at interviewing. Its so important to answer the interview question with a specific situation, describe the actions you took, cover the outcome, and to be succinct. The job market it ROUGH and even getting an interview is challenging.....so when you do get an interview, you have to knock it outta the park. My advice is to practice, look up Ted Talks or YouTube videos around how to interview. Go to your interview with copies of your resume and cover letter. If attending the interview remotely, have those digitally that you can offer up to the interviewer.

Pro tip-at the end of the interview they typically ask if you have any questions. This is a key opportunity that many people miss on. Ask them what their ideal candidate is, ask them what challenges a new hire will face, ask them how a new hire can set themselves up for success. Make them think of you in that role, show them you are prepared to hit the ground running. I know it seems small, but its small stuff like this that can set you apart from the candidate pool. I remember not getting my first AD job I went after at Verizon. When I got feedback from my director, she said it came down to the formatting of my resume. I was shocked by this feedback, then it hit me...IT WAS THAT CLOSE. Its about standing out in every possible way. Hope this helps someone!

Is anyone who received notice in October having any success getting redeployment interviews? I'm not sure if I want to stay or not, but after almost 20 years with the organization, I’d rather stay than start over somewhere else. Honestly, I’m just physically and emotionally exhausted right now.

Should you tell your manager that you have incoming interview with other team?

Took “only” eight months. I really hope it goes well; I don’t want to go through the wringer in December. The company I’m talking to seems better in every possible way. There are still some jobs out there, but it’s tough. Don’t wait for these a--holes here to cut you without at least a few real options lined up. Keep looking and stay persistent.

1. Badge in
2. Walk around the building for an hour or two, talk to other disgruntled employees
3. Attend teams meetings, “nothing from my end”.
4. Apply for jobs, take interviews, practice for interviews. (Excited for opportunity to interview with TMUS)
5. Walk around the building for an hour or two, talk to other disgruntled employees
6. 8 hours , leave.

Hi, When I was searching for Edward Jones review somehow this thread showed up in Google. I had applied for a job and had my interview with the hiring manager. She mentioned something about leadership assessment. Can someone tell me what this is? I have applied for a marketing role not for FA role. I am so confused on why marketing would need leadership assessment role. Also, the number of rounds of interview are ridiculous I have to meet total of 10 people if I pass the leadership assessment for a junior product role. Can someone shed light on the leadership assessment and final rounds of meeting with 3 people per round?

Hiiii everyone! I am seeing a lot of negative comments about their managers and their customer service and such, I wonder if anyone has ever worked on the corp side? Like the workforce management/Data Analyst side? I am not see any complaints about those roles and I am looking to set up an interview in the next few days, so I want to be prepared.

Did B&B implement layoffs in Q2? If yes how many roles were affected... Which groups had reductions? Also, what's the prognosis for 2026 - I am interviewing and I heard some rumors

I’m in the process of interviewing at Humana with a panel scheduled soon, in the Quality space. What is the culture and vibe like? Humana used to be the market leader in Medicare, the envy of all payers and after looking at this job board, stock prices and Stars ratings I’m surprised to see that things have not been as stellar? Any insights would be appreciated.

How does the process work?

to those LRed (positions eliminated), if they go to interview and accept job offer before Oct 13. will they lose the package?

Or should I not?

Everybody I know is. I wonder if it's just my team or a larger thing.

Pass the screen, go for the round of interviews, how long before you hear something? Same Day? Couple days? Week? Do rejections come immediately while silence means a possible offer? Or is it the opposite, if they are interested you get an offer right away, and silence just means they aren't interested? What's the norm these days on the interview circuit?

Is anyone else experiencing selection reps who yap on and on about their careers but don’t let you get a word in to learn about you so they can adequately represent you? I fear I’m really sc--wed, as mine just talked about himself for a solid 20 min of our 30 appt and provided very confusing feedback

I am part of the job cut 😢
this morning was my last day, have interview set up, will probably have to relocate out west. Good luck to the survivors, there's a future out there if you want it.

😺

I am interviewing for the above job. The salary range recruiter gave me was $48,000 - $70,000

anyone have insight on this job?

I can’t find any data online about the job. And the pay seems low. Almost like they rebranded a job title and slapped a low comp band to see who will bite.

Here is the posting

Will Elevance ever go above the given salary range in a pre screen interview call?
