Truth be told... managers hire people like themselves and it doesnt mean technically speaking or job wise. More or less a personality and team fit. You can have a douche bag who knows nothing about the job or have little experience but if the candidate is a smoozer, good talker and gets on a buddy buddy impression with the hiring manager - same likes, dislikes - the person is "in" for the job 75-80% right away. That's why sometimes you get idiots on the job who are technically Bullsh-- in terms of skill set but they get along with everybody and is the most popular person on the floor. The company will rather downsize you than him/her because they promote a "good team fit". Total BS but that's the game played in most companies. You also never know... nepotism plays a large part. How do you know the person they hired wasnt a friend, relative, an internal "referral", etc?? Happens waaay more times than you think. They just have to interview outsiders because of HR policy even though they already hired a candidate in mind. You always notice those jobs. You see the post on the company's career website as open one day... then next day post is already filled. You're thinking WTF???? Favoratism occurs everywhere. Same with rejection. Once you get used to it it's no big deal - SWSWN - "so what so what, next!" I would wait till monday/tuesday and if you still havent heard anything then call back HR and ask.krissypoo27 wrote: ↑I hear what you are saying. In the interview I was calm, and did try my best to answer the questions with ease..which is surprising because I usually have a hard time with interviews and might be the reason why I am having a hard time grasping the fact that I didnt get a call. I sincerely thought that I was..but I understand someone probably landed the second interview because of more experience etc.... whatever it may be, I will have to get over it! So lets not assume that I was a nervous needy freak in the interview! I answered the questions honestly and made sure to give them examples of my skills and why I would be good for their company. Somebody probably just answered those questions better, or seemed to have more to offer in the eyes of the interviewers.
If the glove don't fit you must acquit! #WINNING
