[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great updates, OP!! Keep it up!

Just found out today that a job I interviewed for in Dec and really wanted did not select me. I felt like they were stringing me along/back benching me, and I was right. Oh well. I had heard they were a sh!tshow internally, but loved the subject matter and the project. Sigh.

25 submissions

-1 screening, full interview, no offer
-1 full interview, no offer
-1 screening interview, waiting to be invited to full interview
-1 online assessment prior to interview, waiting for results and interview invite
-4 had the courtesy to let me know I was not a good fit

I have about 15 others I will review and decide whether to apply for or not.

Also saw on LinkedIn two people I know get jobs that I applied for. They were definitely better candidates, so I don't feel so badly about it.[/quote]

Here is the latest from me:

36 applications to date, 5 interviews, 1 take these assessments first, 1 offer

-1 screening and full interview, no offer
-1 screening interview, no offer
-1 interview, next steps TBD
-1 two rounds interview, received offer today, $20k LESS than my current job. whomp whomp (but I will certainly negotiate)
-1 screening interview, then ghosted despite follow up (and knowing the recruiter from TWO past lives!)
-1 online assessment prior to interview, STILL waiting for results and interview invite. Feels like recruiter slow rolling me.
-12 had the courtesy to let me know I was not a good fit

I am starting to reach out to old colleagues to chat with them about opportunities and get advice on whether to go the management track (e.g., pathway to VP, managing director, executive director type jobs) or the technical track (e.g., senior director of policy or program type jobs). I have been applying to both. The former pay more, but the latter make me happier. I think in my field I can do one more role of the latter before either being stuck there for good or heading over to the VP track. We'll see if anything comes of the networking. Up until now, it's all been cold applying. (Though in two cases I knew people at those organizations, so had an employee referral. One has not panned out, and the other remains in the ether.)
