Interview Spacing

Hi everyone!

I’m curious to learn what was the spacing for everyones interviews and how many did you have?

I did my first interview almost 3 weeks ago and I’m waiting to hear back on times to interview for the 2nd round and move forward. I’ve already followed up once a few days ago - but don’t wanna come across as too pushy/too eager. This would be my first time interviewing for a large system like this, so Im used to 1-2 week timelines. Is in expected to possibly have a 4-6week hiring process?

This is for an admin position.

Hi everyone!

I know the job market is tough everywhere, but I wanted to see if anyone noticed this difference from March vs April (last 30 days):

End of March, The Mercury News posted that "The job markets in the Bay Area and California are far stronger than first thought." Before Oracle, Meta, and Disney Lay-off (convenient) And although I wasn't getting ANY interviews - no, i'm not asking for resume or job board advice - I was still able to chug a good amount of applications each day across a few different industries and roles: Corporate, Small Business, State Employment, Temp, etc. for Healthcare Admin, Coordinator/Office Management, Entry Level Analyst (I have an Econ Degree w/ focus in stats/research). But this isn't about getting interviews - this is about the sudden lack of new jobs/industries posted

At the of end of April, I noticed a MASSIVE decline in jobs on tons of job boards. Professional job boards (not just linkedin) are flooded with fast food and HORRIBLE commission sales roles. There is no way I applied to every job in the bay - I probably *just* brushed off 150 applications. Even Kaiser/Sutter looks like to have dropped off a lot of bay area hospital admin roles when just a few weeks there were tons. I swear 3 weeks ago, I could find some 60k+/yr jobs, now all I am seeing is EXTREMELY low paying gigs (45k-50k or simply hourly with no range), no legit benefits, and temp/part time roles - because if you're hourly, 30/32 hrs vs 40 hrs does make a difference even if 32 technically does allow me to be benefitted. I'm seeing a decline in major corporate rolls as well too.

Has anyone noticed this shift in the last 30 days?
