I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2021
Interview
First I had a general phone call with one of LinkedIn Talent Acquisition members, who identified whether I could be the right match for the opportunity and who also explained me the role as an SDR.
Following to the call, I received information on how to prepare for my intake interview. Also, I scheduled the intake interview with two (SDR) Managers. This interview took approximately 1,5 hours and was divided into two parts: 1. Mock Call, 2. Competency based questions.

Question 1
- Introduce yourself
- Situation on how you handled a difficult or unhappy client
- Situation on how you handled a conflict with a co-worker
- How you handled feedback from a manager
- How you would go about preparing for the positions as a Sales Development Representative
- How worked in a team on a project and what was your stake in it

At first, the interview process was great. I had applied, then a recruiter reached out for a phone screen and I had a zoom interview set up with the manager within 30 minutes.
The zoom interview was majority behavioral questions (STAR method) and some basic questions. Which I felt went well, good enough for the manager to verbally state she wanted to move me to round 3. That was the first week of September, and it is now about to be October.
I’ve followed up with the recruiter to which I have now been ghosted with no response. I have to say, for a company as global and “great” as LinkedIn, you’d think they would have the courtesy to at least tell me that I didn’t get selected.
Overall, this process has left a very bad taste for me and I hope this isn’t common practice.

Interview
Had a phone screen. Recruiter was polite and transparent. Didn't get moved forward to next round. She said that my background looked like I moved around too much. The phone call last twenty minutes or so. I now know to take away a position on my resume and it makes more sense to have a gap than short stint role on my resume resume.
