- atrettel 3y agoNot getting an offer after 10 interviews may seem concerning at first, but based on my experience there is a lot left to chance here. I typically get offers after 25% of jobs that I interview for. If I had 10 interviews, I would have a 94% chance of getting at least 1 offer (assuming a binomial distribution). But a lot of this really depends on the probability of getting an offer conditioned on an interview. If that drops to 10%, then that job seeker would only have a 65% chance of getting at least 1 offer. 5% leads to a 40% chance of getting at least 1 offer. My point is that 10 interviews really is not that much in this job market, unfortunately. Anything you can do to increase the odds would help --- trying to figure out "what's going wrong" --- but nothing might be going wrong per se and you just have to apply to more positions. It's a numbers game, unfortunately.
