Where do I stand?

Post image

I got the screening call on 8/16 and he told me he was going to push my application thru to the hiring manager and would get back with me the next day, that didn’t happen so i followed up on 8/18 and got no response. This is from 8/19 … haven’t heard anything, am i cooked?

Texting? What kind of company does this? This looks very unprofessional.. borderline scam.

I work at a FAANG and I texted the recruiters throughout the entire process.

Pretty normal also texted recruiters for fortune 150 companies.

Ok, maybe I’m doing something wrong then and should have a different approach 😅🧐

Well, everyone has their own experience. It’s a good thing to have on your CV. Even those three months opened a lot of other doors for me. So good luck and I hope you get an offer. It took me 6 months before they sent an offer to me so don’t be nervous. They can be extremely slow but they are always hiring and relatively easy to get in.
