Average Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CDW (Chennai) in Oct 2023

Interview

I have completed 2 round. In second round there where 3 technical peoples to interview from onsite. HR said I have cleared the 2nd round and asked me to wait for manager round. From 1st and 2nd round it took 1 month gap and from 2nd round I followed up weekly for update they said waiting for onsite manager to provide a time for interview schedule and I lost my patience and asked the HR are you actively hiring and on the same day HR said we got the update from manager and we are also looking for some more candidates you can look for other jobs. I'm wondering how come after you said I have cleared and then now your saying on the same day I questioned you and giving an update that my application is on hold. These are not professional and rethink before joining CDR. Keep the backup job don't believe in interview process of CDW.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2023

Interview

There was a screening with HR. Then an interview with the hiring manager, followed by a panel. As I moved through the process, they were more and more friendly, until they decided to not move forward with me. It went from a text on Friday wishing me a great weekend to a cold form email thanking me for my interest. Whiplash.

Graduate Student

Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

Administrative Assistant

I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
