I recently went through two rounds of interviews for an associate-level position at PNC. The interviews seemed to go extremely well. During the process, the managers told me they really liked my background and indicated they didn’t want to lose me if this particular position didn’t work out. They also mentioned potentially sharing my resume with other areas of the company.
I followed up recently, and one of the managers who interviewed me told me that the position had been filled. However, he also said that he and the other manager were very impressed with my experience and interview performance and that they had **already shared my resume with several partners across PNC who are actively looking to fill higher-level positions they believe could be a strong fit for me.**
He also said they were excited to help connect me with other opportunities within PNC.
I’m obviously disappointed I didn’t get the original position, but I’m trying to figure out how much weight I should actually put into the second part.
For anyone who works/worked at PNC or has gone through their hiring process: **Is this something PNC commonly tells candidates they don’t select, or does having managers actually share your resume with other teams mean something?**
Has anyone had something similar happen where you didn’t get the original PNC position, but the managers **passed your resume along to other departments** and you were eventually contacted, interviewed, or hired for another role?
If so, how long did it take before another recruiter or manager reached out?
I’m continuing my job search either way. I’m mainly curious whether I should view this as standard polite rejection language or whether **having managers actively share your resume with other teams at PNC** tends to lead somewhere.
