What's harder for you?
Waiting after a vacancy closes to find out if you've been shortlisted or waiting after interview to find out if you've been successful or not?
The current job market is no respecter of persons or experience I can attest πΉ
I recently got feedback for a job I applied for and went through the interview round which included a presentation task and a panel interview.
I've never prepared that hard for a job before but I still chop breakfast πΉ
I was disappointed but then I learned from the written feedback that 60 people applied for the single position π³. Not sure how many were interviewed but it can not have been less than five.
They couldn't fault my interview or presentation at all, just that the person who got the job has "more experience of line management and leading projects at a higher strategic level" and according to them, it was a competitive pool of candidates.
If you're currently job hunting how's the market treating you?
