question

I have heard that the longer an interview goes on the better it is interpreted about having a chance with that organization. If this is true, what is a good time frame to be able to determine this?

In my recruiting and HR experience, I'd say there isn't a magical time number or even a number at all. Typically we'd set up the interview process the same for all candidates across the board to avoid and discrimination type issues. Everyone got a half hour phone screen for first round then those invited to the second round had the same amount of time and talked to the same people.

Of course, happy to help! Wish there was a magic formula to give you but usually consistency is better from a company perspective!

So, if also trying to break away from what experience I have on my resume. And have an Associate's and now a Bachelor's, how exactly would I do that. Since clearly this isn't why I guess I am really given a chance since it lacks consistency according to you?

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the longer it goes ensures the better it is going. However, if you feel that the questions asked in the interview were high-level and not many follow-up questions were asked, it might indicate that they don’t believe you’re the best fit. However, on the flip side, they may know that you’re a perfect match and are only checking the boxes before they can make you an offer. Hard to say!

So an example of a high level question would be what exactly? And I appreciate the first response.

What I mean by asking high level questions is that the interviewer isn’t asking follow up questions, or digging into your answers when you give them.

So digging in your point would be when have to explain what mean? Or like one of usual questions being what like to do, then the (conversation) interview goes into this topic(s)? Or do you mean the more literal sense; that when asked and the interviewee is adamant of trying not to answer. Like you said it could be hard to determine this; and that there are different ways what you said could be interpreted. But since you clearly know more professionally, I will go with what your insight/advice would be.
