Was looking for roles at Grainger and an internal referral connected me with HR. HR scheduled a screening call. The next day, I got an invite for Round 1 with the hiring manager and their boss. The following week, I had a 30-min panel interview with them. It was structured yet conversational. They were friendly, and the interview felt solid. Three days later, HR informed me they moved forward with another candidate. I suspect it's due to age/experience, but it's a recurring issue.

I had several video interviews over Microsoft Teams with different people. They seemed really keen to tell me about the company and the perks. But then, after two weeks of talking regularly, I just got ghosted.

I got referred by a friend and applied through the employee referral system. A recruiter gave me a 45-minute call. Then I interviewed with 3 people over Zoom. They told me I didn't get the job about a week after the interview.
