How do you try and distract yourself from thinking about how it went from the time of final interview and waiting for a response from the recruitment team to let you know how it went?

I had my final interview on Wednesday after 6 Interviews and 2 Tests so its been a long process. The in-house recruiter is on annual leave until Tuesday so Im not expecting anything until Wednesday however, that doesnt stop me from checking emails every 10 minutes.

To be honest, I dont think Ive made the cut and from what the recruiter was saying of it being a 9 till 5 Monday to Friday, to the Hiring Manager saying its 24/7 Shifts, Weekends and Nights, I need to establish if that is fesabile with a 5 Month old baby.

Like to be put out of my misery either way!

 

Ah cheers Jim. I did read this on Saturday but never for round to responding.
Had an email this morning saying Thanks but No Thanks. I expected it to be honest but it is what it is. Onwards and Upwards you know

 

Thank you Jim. Appreciate the positive spin and you are 100% correct.
I think whats annoyed me the most is the response from Amazon.

6 Interviews at about an hour a peice, 2 Tests at 2 Hours each and a whole Saturday reading up their "work ethics". Make it to the final interview and all I get is a generic email saying thanks but no thanks and we cant even tell you why. I reached out to the Amazon Recruiter for a bit of feedback and complete silence.

I mean Id get it if this was the first stage but youd think by the final stage they would have the courtesy to give you a phone call or even a personalised email.

 

Thank you @JK2447 sounds like a pretty good place to work.
My wife is going back to work in Jan so Im thinking of just getting through the next few months, work on some certifications and come September, start applying. I have a 3 Month notice period anyway so that will take me to Januaary once the interviews / paperwork etc is all sorted out.

We fly out to New Zealand on the 10th of December, and get back on the 4th of Jan so hopefully be ready for a new role. Back to the Azure 104 for the time being.
