After two previous interviews today I got this like email:
“I spoke with {} recently and he shared that he’d like to invite you to a final round of interviews for the Mobile Software Engineer role onsite in {} – congrats! What does your availability look like on the following dates to come onsite to {} for your interviews (July 21 – 25, 2025 or July 28 – August 1, 2025)? The interviews will be about a half day. When I receive confirmation of your availability, I’ll begin scheduling your final round of interviews and will send you final confirmation details via email when that’s complete.”
— I’ve never had a real job besides research in University and entry level stuff like sign spinning; what should I expect when I go in? What should/shouldn’t I do?
— does this mostly mean they’re checking to see if I’m not a psycho? But if I’m not I’ve got the job?
— it might just be reading into it but they said interviews plural— am I going in multiple days? Or does this mean there are other people interviewing?
Thanks! Crazy excited after hundreds of applications. I know I can knock there socks off if I get a chance— I really don’t want to mess this up.
If you received that at my workplace, they are bringing you in to get a feel for how you are in person. And if you don’t have any problems your in. If there are a couple people in this 3rd interview, you will be the decider. Just how you are in person. It sucks to have to chose that way but at the end when you have to decide, its a good way to do it.
In general, that 3rd interview in my space, means you are the only choice and they want one more check to make sure people can feel you out before they invest in you
Ok good to know— I was hoping that might be the case. I think I’ll try and find some strangers to talk to in the next week to stretch out my social skills a bit— which is sort of the opposite of technical prep where you just sit alone working on projects. Thanks and also happy cake day!
