Another one they use:
"We'll let you know either way" ie...:mjpls::mjpls::mjpls::mjpls::mjpls:

@NinoBrown @Rhyme n Tekniq

What about “Keep us open / let us know if you receive any other hiring opportunities”

:patrice:

If it is a non-recruiting/headhunter company, you are in the final rounds and they don't want to keep looking for further candidates...

If it is an agency, they are fishing to see who else has a potential job opening they can ship prospects over to....

Had a interviewer didn't know I was interviewing that day.

"Let me pull up your resume" *scrolls through it for the first time ever in front of me*

"You are from so and so. They flew you here! Wow!" *still the same guy*

Lof of times, It's just to fill empty space in the convo before parting ways. If a company truly wants you on board, theyr're gonna bring you on asap

I dont know why they would let another company snatch you up for better pay and expect you to tell them about it. They already showed you they dont value your skills as a candidate


Its the equivalent of saying "Sorry you're not my type but i'm sure there's someone out there who would just love you, keep me posted when you find them"

It's that sort of patronizing, disingenuous shyt that warrants a proper "go fukk yourself"


EDIT:

It just hit me that you're more than likely talking about a recruiter LOL

yeah fukkk them


they try to get as much info out of you as possible but cant place you with a company

talmbout "could you give me the name of the actual client you worked for. " Bish I aint giving you free leads when you just wasted my time::martin:

hate panel interviews...when I was actively looking in 2019 had a crazy one with like 15 people (7 in office and 8 on a computer screen that they projected onto the white board..shyt might've been more on screen, I didn't really wanna count)

shyt was one of the weirdest interviews I ever had...they asked some weird ass questions

I’ve heard of few of these before and still got the job.

I just had a 2nd interview on Monday for a Property Management position, and got the “Well we’re still interviewing others…..”

Literally a hour later they emailed me asking if I could come in tomorrow to meet the staff and tour the property. So don’t totally throw in the towel when y’all hear any of those lines.

Side note: We need to normalize having just 1 interview. Why do we need 3,4,5,6 etc. Especially when you have people taking off work to go to these interviews, just to tell them you don’t want them 20 interviews later.
