I’m on a plane and we just landed. Everyone is clapping.
Not because the landing was great... it was actually pretty terrible thanks to turbulence. The claps were because we *did* land. I don’t have a fear of flying but you know it’s bad when there are random screams from dropping in the air air so quickly. The flight attendance were unable to do their standard service routine because it was just too unsafe to stand. Needless to say, I held my breath one too many times. Happy to be alive.. now off to downtown Chicago!
Does anyone else have any crazy flight stories?

When is to many?
I've applied to various postings at one company more than a dozen times. The application status all read "application received". I'm getting rejection emails sometimes, but the company doesn't seem to be updating their application status at all.
I've even tried to reach out to a recruiter via LI but haven't gotten a response although the recruiter accepted by connection.
I'm qualified for the positions I've applied for and not sure what else is preventing me from not moving forward on any of the 15 applications I've submitted. Maybe it's the expected salary I entered.
Any advice?

Hiring managers, what made you realize a candidate was not qualified during an interview?
*** A candidate not knowing certain systems or programs that can easily be trained on does not count.

I wanted to get some insights here.
I was a final candidate at a few companies earlier this year.
I've applied for subsequent roles at those companies that are very similar in qualifications and such.
I got automatically rejected.
I am not 100% sure if this was "the same role" as in they re posted it which could mean I was in the system as an already rejected candidate.
Does anyone know why this could be? I was qualified enough the first time to get the interview and did well through the process.
Thanks in advance.

Interviewing - I made it past the HR phone screen which happened a month ago.
Spoke to the hiring manager today. I think it went well, but he tells me it will be mid-August before I’ll hear back, and mentions the entire process is 4 steps. So I could conclude that if they want to move forward with my candidacy, I’d interview in August, then if all goes well move to step 4 in September, with a start date of 10/1. So from initial HR phone screen to an offer is 3 months! Is this common now? They seem to be purposely dragging this out and I’m now wondering if it’s common to get a requisition approved in June, with a condition that the new hire couldn’t start until Q4.
