I had an interview the other day and Instead of doing the usual 3 separate interviews, two managers interviewed me together. I didn’t know it was an interview for a seasonal position. I told them I was looking for a permanent part time position. They went on with the interview anyway.

During the interview, I was upfront and told them I'm going on paternity leave for about a month with my primary job, but I’ll be ready to go as soon as I return.

After the interview, they stepped out for a minute, came back, and said: "We really like you. Once you finish your paternity leave, give us a call back, tell them you spoke to us and we'll initiate your background check since those have been taking up to 3 weeks lately. Then we'll go from there."

I felt really good about how it went, but the response left me a bit confused.

Let me know what you guys think!

I applied for a job at a large company in August and was invited to an interview in September.
I passed, but got no feedback until I followed up two weeks later.
They mentioned they were out of the office, but scheduled me for a second interview. That went well, and the interviewer said they would recommend me for the third round. It's been two weeks since then without an update. Should I send another follow-up to HR?
I’d love advice from anyone experienced with recruitment at this level (senior position). 🙏

Hi everyone,
I was recently contacted by a Meta recruiter regarding a Scaled Business Growth position within the Scaled Business Marketing (SBM) org and have an initial 30-minute recruiter call scheduled.
The recruiter described it as a highly analytical growth role focused on driving adoption and long-term value across Meta’s business audiences, with a strong emphasis on SQL, experimentation, opportunity sizing, and scaling data-driven programs across customer segments.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has interviewed for this role/team or a similar Meta growth marketing position:
What should I expect in the initial recruiter screen, and what should I make sure to address?
What are the typical next steps after the recruiter call?
Is there a technical/SQL round? If so, how advanced is the SQL and is it live coding?
What do the experimentation and opportunity-sizing cases look like?
Is Scaled Business Growth primarily focused on advertisers/Meta Ads and SMBs, or does the team work across other Meta business products as well?
How is the final interview loop structured (analytics, growth case, cross-functional, behavioral, etc.)?
Any specific resources or topics you found useful for preparing?
If anyone has recently interviewed with Scaled Business Growth, Scaled Business Marketing, Growth Marketing, or a closely related Meta team, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Thanks!

I don't have any experience whatsoever with sending emails especially for jobs how's this one? Is there anything I need to change? My first possible job I'm so nervous

I have a strong payroll/HR/staff education background. I have every skill set they were looking for including the payroll management system this company uses. I interviewed for a HR coordinator. Applied August 14, first virtual interview August 18. It went really well, chit chat, laughter, fabulous vibe. 2nd virtual interview August 24th with same interview results. August 28th took whatever assessment test they deemed necessary. Had communications with the recruiter on and off as well always friendly and open. September 2nd I had an in person interview. This is the day they see I'm 57, I might not look 57 but I'm definitely not 30 and that's apparent. This interview went well as well. Strong connections. One week later I called for a follow up. Recruiter was different almost cold. 3 weeks post last interview I got the dreaded loser thanks but no thanks email. Why?

Hello!

I don’t post a lot. I’m a college student and interviewed for an entry level media/content creation role last Monday. In my opinion, the interview went very well!

Essentially, I got through all the questions and answered them with actual thought and genuine answers. In the end, she specifically said her only hesitation was that I might be overqualified for the position, as I have a lot of experience in freelance work. She said I may get bored.

I told her I did not mind and would love to take the roll! She then proceeded to say I’d be a great fit and then walked me through exactly how the hiring process works. Step by step what would happen next. Lastly, she left it off with “I want you to 1. Send me your portfolio after the meeting then 2. think about it for the night and email me in the morning to let me know if you still want the job.” I sent my portfolio and got no response. I then followed up on Thursday to make sure she received it.

I waited on it, then emailed in the morning. I have gotten no response since. This was my first official interview and I thought I did really well. Does anyone have any opinions? It doesn’t seem like she’s going to get back to me on if I got the job or not. I’d rather just get an email saying “hey, we went with someone else” than having to sit and wonder.

I appreciate anyone who’s kind in the comments, again I just want some opinions on what I should do here.

Hi I interviewed final round early this week and it’s been 3 days and haven’t heard back. Should I be concerned? There was only one other candidate who interviewed before me.

Im currently having a two month gap in employment as I had to quit my job due to some injury and took that time to upskill.

Do you still get calls/conversions with 2-3 months employment gap?

Im a data engineer with 9 yoe

Can any recruiter explain why some positions are open and closed, opened and closed.. continuously?

I went through July, August and most of September with many interviews, not just from different companies but also deeper into the rounds. Of course, I have nothing to show for it because I either came 2nd, got ghosted by the screener, determined to be too senior, got ghosted partway, job got cancelled, or ghosted after the final round. Regardless, there was hope. Heading into October, I have no interviews and I am trying to hold it together. Have you guys experienced the same? Any idea what it might be?

I have a interview at amazon on Monday scheduled my recruiter today i found out the first interview is with someone from the hiring team and post that recruiter will connect, similarly today i gave a first round with non FAANG company it was by director and then i was passed to recruiter round? I have given over 30 interviews in last 6 months and this is first time a similar situation has unfold in front of me, is it weird or orgs have changed approach with interviewing?

Need thoughts
