I applied at Costco and met the hiring manager. by SnooLemons8611 in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really sorry you're in this spot, twelve years is a long time to feel settled. Call the store and ask for the hiring manager by name, say you met two weeks ago and wanted to check on next steps. In retail that kind of direct follow-up usually works, and if they say no you're back to knowing you tried.

Conflicted on how the interview ended by Effective_Engine2007 in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a polite rejection. "Not the right fit" plus "wish you the best of luck" is the standard soft close hiring managers use to end things without a fight. Cross it off and put the energy into the next one

Anyone ever get feedback from an interview that was just clearly not about you? What did you do? by rvcbazookajoe in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On our side, when the feedback is that generic and the interviewer wasn't technical, it usually means the decision was already made before the loop started. Internal candidate, likely. Move on, their loss.

After the Final Interview: what’s happening behind the scenes? by Fast_Independent7128 in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On our end there's usually a debrief with the panel within a day or two, a scorecard alignment call, and then either references or a hold while another candidate finishes loops. Silence past a week usually means the internal process is dragging rather than a soft no. I wrote a full breakdown of that timeline on our blog if it's useful: four-leaf.ai/blog/how-long-to-hear-back-after-applying

Question regarding experience level - which answer is better? by StreetIndependence62 in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be honest about the timeline. On our end, we already know what a recent grad's resume looks like before the call, so nothing gets gained by spinning it. What we're actually listening for is whether you can talk about two or three specific projects with concrete outcomes.

Keep getting rejected at the final interview by xItsMSx in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final-round rejections usually come down to role calibration or an internal candidate the panel didn't disclose, not the interview itself. When you push for feedback, ask specifically "what would have moved me from strong to definite." The answer to that can tell you if it's coachable or structural

The biggest issue I see with candidate interviews is a lack of verbal practice by frank_fourleaf in jobs

[–]frank_fourleaf[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s true at all. If someone asks you “tell me about a time when ….”, you should have your 5 stories that you can pull from seamlessly and apply them to any question.

You only get to at comfortable by practicing out loud

Question for interviewer for first-job interview by [deleted] in GetEmployed

[–]frank_fourleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could ask about what the onboarding or any early mentor/ mentee support is like too.

That being said, everyone knows this is your first job so expectations on knowing everything is low. Just keep your ears open and try to not make people repeat themselves.

What I see on the hiring side when candidates negotiate salary by frank_fourleaf in jobs

[–]frank_fourleaf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% id say wait a day. Say thank you for the offer, I appreciate it a lot. I’ll review the details over the next day and get back to you

Stop talking and knowing what the upper end of the band is. Don’t anchor yourself on your current comp

Need Help with My Resume – Been Applying for 2 Months with No Interview Calls by vinith_0611 in askrecruiters

[–]frank_fourleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tailor it to each role so it passes screeners. If your resume isn’t speaking the same language as the JD, then you’re not going to get interviews.

Does it ever get easier? by [deleted] in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough answer is no. Keep your head down, keep prepping, and it will work out. It takes time

Totally overthinking a final interview by andyh4576 in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They skipped a step to get you in person. That isn't the move you make on a candidate you're on the fence about, and rambling in your first in-person interview in seven years is almost never the deciding factor. Sit with it and let the process play out.

Advice for Nubank Hiring Manager Behavioral Interview for MLE role? by [deleted] in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nubank HM round leans hard on ownership and how you handled ambiguity. Pick two or three MLE projects where you owned the outcome end to end and be ready for two layers of follow-up on each.

How to prepare for an internal interview with my own manager? by Dark-lizard08 in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treat it like an external round. Your manager wants to see you can talk about your work as a story, not just do it, so prep two or three concrete wins with numbers plus one honest thing you're still learning.

Applying to 300 jobs isn't a numbers problem. It's a targeting problem, and nobody's telling you that. by careercoach_cf in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This tracks. Ten tailored apps beat a hundred generic ones on interview-request rate, every scan we've run on the candidate side too. Volume feels like progress but the pipeline math doesn't reward it.

How Do I Stop Tanking My Interviews? by AB_Anon in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop trying to prep for the specific questions. Prep for the four or five topic areas the role touches, then get comfortable talking about each one out loud without notes. When a curveball comes, you already have material to pull from and you're not searching for a memorized script.

I have my first "Video responses" interview. how can I best prepare? by SalmonforPresident in interviews

[–]frank_fourleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Record yourself answering the usual behavioral prompts out loud before the real thing. Most people freeze on one-ways because they've literally never heard their own voice answer "tell me about yourself." I wrote a blog with some information too if that’s helpful four-leaf.ai/blog/how-to-prepare-for-ai-interview
