Hello,
last week I completed 3 rounds of interviews with a company.
all was moving fast and furious with HR reaching out to schedule the next round same day or early the next morning
Thursday I met with the CEO at 8am. Friday, he responded to my thank you email with the following:
“thank you for your time, it was great learning about your background. Thanks for sending additional insights! I know the team will connect soon on next steps”
it’s now eod Monday and nothing, after being in daily communication with HR.
she did let me know there were 2 other candidates in play who had also advanced to meet the CEO.
has anyone ever received such a positive response to a thank you email that said “next steps” then be ghosted??
thoughts?

Please wish me luck, or say a prayer for me! I am praying for all of us out there, particularly those of us in our mid-50s searching for a new role in which we can be happy, fulfilled and grow our careers (those of use not close to retirement)!
I am so tired of the rejection and tomorrow's interview seems like such a great position. I am trying hard to stay confident but it is not easy, since I have been rejected for so many roles.

I got a job offer from a large financial institution!
Part of me wants to celebrate and jump up and down, and then the other part of me is cautiously optimistic. The offer is contingent upon a successful background check. I have a misdemeanor back in 2009 when I was young and stupid. This misdemeanor has nothing to do with banking, theft,…

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

Wait…you met with the CEO Thursday, he responded to your thank you on Friday (the next day), and it’s the end of day on Monday. We already know there’s two other candidates meeting with the CEO, but we don’t know when. So it’s possible they haven’t met with him yet.
No, This isn’t ghosting.

From Friday >> to Monday is nothing.....
Give it a week. Or two.
This isn't ghosting yet.
Did you write him a Thank You email and ask about next steps and when you would hear back?
