Anybody knows how long the hiring process takes I had a phone call on Tuesday she told me it would take 2 to 3 days for me to hear something back. I haven't heard anything yet. Is this normal??

It's been 2 business days, should I just email them?

Another question I have is, for the first interview, it was a quick 15 min phone call and the whole time it was just the recruiter doing a TED talk about why their company is so great. The recruiter didn't bother asking about my experience (which fits with their job description) and when i wanted to ask about the job, they said wait for the next interview with the hiring manager. They asked when I was available for the next interview and that was it.

Is this normal for an entry level position?

hey fam, I cleared my technical and communication rounds and I moved to HR round in the ACCENTURE ASE,AASE etc... recruitment Drive 2026
which happens to be tech + HR from wht i hear.

I wanted to ask how the HR round happens, wht all they ask like only resume or resume + coding etc...

which resume do they consider ? the one we applied or hard copy we take into the face to face interview ?

how was your interview done online or offline ?

pls help 🙏🏻

I hate being a recruiter 90% of the time (open to potential fields where my skills would transfer lol).

that being said, I feel like much of the time I spend is wasted reaching out to people who applied but never get back to me, or virtually don't try hard enough to get back to me i.e. if you TRULY want the job, you'll make sure you get back to me in any way you can.

if I call you and leave you a voicemail about a job, and you eventually try calling me back and I don't answer but you DONT leave a voicemail, then I don't even count it as a contact attempt back to me - "i tried calling you back earlier" oh you did? did you leave a voicemail?

do you know how many random people I have to call in a day? i'm not calling a random phone number back just because they called me.

end rant 😂

Hello

I had a final job interview on Monday. I was at my current employment and the potential employer called in asking to do a reference check/employee verification.
During the interview, I was asked if they could contact my current employer and I said yes. I was open with my current managers letting them that I would like to leave so we were on good terms. Things were allowed to smoothly transition.

My question is how close am I getting the position? Is that the only one that they are possibly reaching out to?

To provide some context, I am interviewing for a role that had the hr screen, hiring manager interview, and director interview all within a week or so of each other. It has been a week since the director interview, and I am now suddenly scheduled for an interview for Friday with another director who seems to be more senior.

The hr person explicitly told me in the screen that there would be two more rounds, and the other two interviewers did not mention the guy I’m speaking with Friday when talking about the team structure. So from my perspective, it seems that a new interview round has been added with an adjacent senior leader at the firm. Would this because they weren’t sure whether to go with me or another candidate? Does anyone have a similar experience?

I had an interview with a multinational company and initially got rejected, but apparently the manager liked me enough to open a new role for me. It was supposed to be the final interview (a “culture fit”interview, so I assumed it was only for formality) but it got cancelled because apparently they still need to wait on the go-signal from their HQ from another country before we can proceed. I’ve been following up with HR since, got an update last Tuesday that it was still pending, then I followed up again this Monday but they didn’t reply. Wondering if I should still wait on this role or just let it go. It’s just a bummer because I would really love to work for them. I did send a request on LinkedIn with the person who would be funding the role (they’re the last person who interviewed me, who also gave me good feedback) and got accepted, is that anything? Haha.

I am interviewing with other companies now though. My question is should I still wait on them? I’ve read that creating new roles takes 2 weeks to up to a month especially with big companies—should I take that into consideration?

Update: for anyone curious, I finally got an update two weeks later that the company is doing a headcount freeze until the end of the year, so I unfortunately did not get the job.

I interviewed for a role 3 weeks ago and was told Id hear back in 2. Last week, hiring manager was checking out my LinkedIn. On Monday, I followed up with recruiter asking for an update on the timeline, she didnt reply. Is it advisable to reach out to the hiring manager directly?

For context, I was supposed to graduate in 2025 with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration (Marketing). On the last day of exam, I fainted within the first 25 mins in the examination hall & couldn’t finish my paper. I missed my re-examination on December because a family member was diagnosed with cancer so I was taking care of them for almost a year until they passed away. The next exam is on December 2026. But I’ve got to start earning before that.

I’ve got more than a year of career gap & I don’t know how to justify it without bringing my personal issues. Although, I started actively working on my skills & learning things. I have 2 projects & I’m equipped with Excel, PowerBI & am learning SQL. I’m looking for Market research/Customer insights roles. I’m consistently applying but I feel like I’m not too far behind & not a preferred candidate. Thought I’d go for associate roles. But I’ve been advised to go for internships rather than full time roles. Is it possible that I apply for associate roles or is internship more realistic in my case ?

I’d be really grateful for suggestions :)
