Is that a no?
Posted a similar thing in the "Get a Job" section, but it didn't get much traction, I thought I would try it again here.
Had a 10 minute or so interview with someone who was supposed to guide me to the appropriate entry-level recruiting arm of a consulting firm. There weren't any behavioral questions, just "what kind of position do you want?" "What are you doing now" etc. This was after a partner offered to serve as my referral for the interview. I did great in the info interview with the partner but the interview with the HR person was pretty bad, I sounded nervous, not articulate, fumbled a couple of easy questions. It's been about two weeks and I haven't heard back yet. Does this mean I'm essentially out, or are they just taking a while and the fact that a partner referred me will essentially get me to the second round? I'm thinking to follow up next Tuesday if I don't hear anything. Should I follow up to the partner that referred me or to the HR person? The HR person mentioned at the end of the interview "I know we had a pretty successful recruiting season" which seems to me to say "you're not getting the job." Thoughts?
In my experience, when they say "We had a successful recruiting season" or "We have already hired some summer analysts" etc means a no. I personally would contact the partner who acted as your referral. If nothing else, it is good practice to stay in touch and thank him for setting up the interview for you.
Damnnnnn
Any insight on whether to contact the HR Rep or the Partner first?
id contact the partner
And say what? I haven't heard back from HR, what do you recommend I do?
Also, appears as if I have been offered a second year at my current role which I will take (it's usually only a year), should I email HR to tell them my target start date would be delayed and can use that as a follow up?
