I found out the job for which I interviewed selected a candidate and they are waiting for final approvals. I asked if they could tell me who the candidate is and they said they couldn't. However, the recruiter said "Let's keep our fingers crossed." Is that a good sign?

Ghosting is Real
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!…

Hi everyone!
I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!

Did HR skirt their job?
I had an issue come up recently where a consultant, and former colleague of our CEO, made an inappropriate and insulting comment to me on a call. I offered to share a study to help his brand and his response was "See , you do have some helpful knowledge in that brain of yours." I felt it…

I’m curious, why would you ask the recruiter to tell you who they hired? That’s very unprofessional.
it seems the recruiter wanted to be positive and help you keep your spirit high for other opportunities. Kudos to the recruiter…

I wanted to see if they would say it was me.

There aren't any signs here, good or bad. The only "signs" of anything in job interviews are actual job offers: either they happen or they don't. Also, job offers, even if they seem to be for your dream job, may be rescinded or modified or lead to a job that turns out not to be your dream job.
Years ago, I accepted an offer that I thought would be my dream job. But almost immediately after starting the job, it turned into my nightmare job.
Don't overinvest in any one job opportunity or try to interpret "signs." Just keep the interview process going until you get an offer for a job that satisfies you.
