Missed HR Call for Job Application

Hey guys I had interviewed at the final round with a large Asset Management firm in early feb. they were still holding interviews and still are so I sent an email asking for updates a few days ago and yesterday i got a missed call and then an email telling me to schedule a call on monday to provide an update on my application. how do they usually respond to an offer/rejection? phone call/email?

persons title was resource and talent consultant

This is an extremely generalized statement and I have no way of knowing your firm's specific policy, but in general larger firms will reject via email (or no contact at all) and accept via phone call. HR just doesn't have time to call each rejection and provide feedback / listen to crying over the phone.

Again, don't go tell your parents or anything because I'm just some guy on the internet — but if I had to bet I'd bet on the call being an invitation to the next round.

 

Back when I was interviewing for IB SA, I had DB HR email me to say they had "exciting news," and that they would call me this afternoon. They rejected me, and then tried offering some sketchy middle office position. I laughed all the way through their near-bankruptcy though, so I guess I dodged a bullet.
