                      Seriously, what is wrong with companies? I interviewed with hiring Manager earlier this month. Met with the CEO a week and a half later. Sent follow up to hiring Manager and HR earlier this week. No response. Today, reached out to hiring Manager, responded with "haven't heard anything from CEO. Meeting with him today. Will bring your name up" Seriously? What have y'all been doing since Oct. 17? Do you need people or not? I applied to job middle of September. Posted beginning of September.

                      Happy Friday everyone! I had my last interview with a company Wednesday of last week and they said they’ll have an answer for me early this week, but I still haven’t heard anything.. I messaged the recruiter on LI and she hasn’t responded either. Any suggestions on what my next move should be? Thanks in advance for the help!

                      I may have a second interview next week. Since I have reached 6 months of unemployment, I started to search for seasonal jobs. Today they are holding open interviews for retail positions at this store. I am not sure if I should go and apply or wait until I get a decision from this upcoming interview. What if I get the retail position and then get a positive response from the interview? I will hate to burn bridges. Would you go for it or still wait for a better opportunity?
