                      Senior Digital Strategist

                      Is it common to get past all 5-6 interviews with all positive feedback to just be left on read? I'm trying to be patient since Turkey5 just happened in the CPG world, but also super antsy to know why they haven't given me any updates (since 11/17).

                      Underwriter

                      Is it ok to apply for another position for the same company if I am already currently in the interview process for another position with the company? I feel the recruiter has ghosted me for the current interview since the job posting shows filled on the site but my status in workday is still open.

                      Two situations, what do I do?: 1. Recruiter A reached out yesterday to tell me I’m invited to round 3 interview. I did not get an invite to accept - do I email and ask for it or wait? 2. Recruiter B said she would call me today at 10:30 because I told her I’m available all day. It’s almost noon and still no call. Do I wait? How long?
