I’m on my 7th interview for a dream job. Seven interviews!!!!!! But if I get through this last boss fight. It’s mine. Wish me luck.

I am sorry Mario, your job is in another castle.

But seriously, best of luck

why would you want to work for a company that needs 7 interview to hire you? that's incompetence right there.

2 at most is necessary.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Right? But it’s not 6 because one guy was out of office. So this is just an extra round because of scheduling conflicts. I’ve never interviewed so long for a job before.

If you can’t impress them with your skills, intimidate them with your weaponry!

I hope you get it. Do your least and make your most!

Always have more job interviews in the pipeline. If you get accepted but want a different one, tell them you need to think about their offer while you await the result of the other interview.

I did and I made it far into this other job. But they went and ghosted me and this place just kept moving forward. The hiring manager outright told me it was my job as long as I finished up these last two interviews. Only reason it’s 7 instead of 6. An exec was out of office the other day. So I would have been done had he been there Monday.
