re: Phone interview tomorrow—advice needed (update pg 4)

I can’t help but think that is not a good sign?

So you think it was a good sign or not a good sign?

Hope you gave more direct statements in the interview.

Did you add in any off topic small talk to show you had personality.

You seem confident, I’m sure you did fine.

Phone interviews are a way to weed out applicants who don’t possess strong communication skills.

Best of luck if you get a face to face

Did you miss that bit?

No, that doesn't change anything. There's plenty of "engineers" that aren't really engineers.

Dumbasses that sell phones for cricket wireless are "consultants"

What about accountants for H&R Block? Are they really accountants?

---

No. They're tax preparers, hence why they have TPIN's. Great question Thomas the train

So you are a tax preparer then. Nizzzzeeeee

I've never filed a tex return other than my own. I just answered your question.

They're probably interviewing a few other people over the next week or so, then deciding who gets an IRL interview. Just relax, and keep on the job hunt.

After five months of being unemployed, I've learned not to give a frick about any companies, and to not expect a single thing to come from applications or interviews. I've been ghosted after interviews five times, so I have a bitter taste for all companies now. Put this behind you for now, and move on. The ball is in their court

Engineers aren’t exactly known for being personable. If you did well, they probably threw your resume in the “call him in” stack and called a couple other losers who got the trash can treatment.

I agree with this completely...send them a thank you note and then put this behind you. You can't put any more effort into this one. Focus on finding your next interview...

Thank you note for sure.


Act like you care.

Life is hard. Make it easy for them to choose you.

1. Confidence in your ability to perform

2. Don’t act like a know it all

3. Don’t talk about money unless asked

4. Know the company vision and incorporate it in your talk with them if possible

5. Finally, just be yourself

Good luck
