1. The process is long

2. The process has multiple interviews with multiple people

3. HR is merely a screener and not a decision maker

4. Most interview processes start with phone interviews and not face-to-face interviews

5. Your current and past experience matters more than any education you could have gained

6. Broad range of experiences are a good thing

7. You may have the best interview in the world but it still doesn’t mean you will get the job. Finding a job is not a small matter. So many factors have to fall in your favor in order to land a job. When it does happen don’t take it lightly. Either you are supposed to be at that company, or you aren’t. There isn’t any in-between. I don’t believe in accidents and either should you.
