#hiringmanager

I had a very bizarre interview yesterday. My city has an SMBC office. The job post mentioned my city in the description. My 3 interviewers were all from NJ / NYC area based on their LinkedIn profiles. They were ALL AWARE I am in a different city. In fact, one interviewer was the hiring manager.

Two things happened in the interview:

1. 2 interviewers were late.
2. For spending 45 minutes on the interview, one interviewer said she will talk to HR if I can be even considered.

Why did the interviewers waste my time? This is totally unprofessional.

How long do you have to be in seat before you can apply out ?
Can you start applying earlier than 12 months ans is manager notified?

Does anyone know what happens if you apply for a job internally before the 1 year mark? Are managers only notified if you are selected?

What’s with the multiple FSE job openings currently in the US? Isn’t the plan to fully move to Unisys?

Do ye still accept people from outside of the US? Would it be worth a try?

Are all of them who have been given 4 (no pip) this year and rif'ed later are ineligible for rehire? If anyone is hiring manager here confirm it?

For someone who is told to seek another job because their current post is going away soon.

What does it mean if when they apply to an internal job posting, it gets rejected almost immediately?
No reason given. Hiring manager does not respond.

I got laid off in November and I have not found another job. I am feeling very depressed of my situation. One of the hiring managers I interviewed with told me he cant believe Verizon would lay off someone with my experience. But I didnt get selected for the job. I feel like there is a stigma. Makes them question with all the experience and accomplishments I have I couldnt hold a job. My ex colleagues who didnt get laid off have found jobs externally. It was easy for them to land another job.

Can hiring managers see your current salary? I apply for jobs here and there. I can't even get an interview.

WTF is up with your job reqs? Applied for a job (perfect quals on paper), went through Recruiter screening then to hiring manager (a B3) interview. Job description they provided was nothing like the posting nor what the Recruiter described.

I was thinking about applying for a tech security position.

Until I saw the hiring manager.

I am familiar with her. There is no way that she knows anything about tech security... And, she's a director. Like, she's an 'expert' in the field.

First time I've ever been like, "Yeah, Fidelity has D . E . I . but they have enough people to fill roles with talented people."

What people are saying is true. No way is this company doing well when I see this.

A HS dropout with ChatGPT would be a better fit for director than this individual. Just wow.
