Welcome to the 4th episode of our “Why You’re Getting Rejected” series! 

If you haven’t watched the first three episodes yet, make sure to check out the full playlist so you can understand the entire hiring process from start to finish: 

In this episode, we’re breaking down what happens after the hiring manager interview, because the interview process can vary wildly depending on company, industry, and seniority level. We discuss:

• The most common interview types you may face next

• What sequences tend to look like for small businesses, startups, and large corporations

• How the interview process changes by role level

• A step-by-step plan to prepare for each type of interview

• How to approach role-specific assessments

• How to prepare for the final executive interview

If you’ve ever made it past round two and still didn’t get the offer, this episode will help you understand why, and exactly how to prepare differently next time.

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
