fifteen interviews? craziness! unless i were interviewing for a
ceo/coo/cfo position, i picture myself tolerating three interviews, four
tops if i was either really desperate or truly interested in the
job/company. anything beyond that? “three interviews is enough to make a
decision with; shit or get off the pot.” last thing i want is to work
for a company that’s so adrift as to need four-plus interviews to make a
decision.

I had a real life interview yesterday. Somehow, I managed to pass the phone screen. They must have watched this video, because I interviewed with four different people all on the same day. They interviewed me in separate 30-minute sessions. Two of the interviews ran over and I could see the next manager waiting outside to get in. I got there at 2pm and it was almost 5pm when I left. It was a long day, but at least I don’t have to go back unless they hire me. You are so right. It’s so much better to get everybody together *at one time*.
+SW Sweetie A-Men Sister. Good luck with the results. As much as I enjoy our interactions, I hope you land soon
Oh, I’m still going to be coming in here to bother you! The time to learn about this stuff is BEFORE you need it. I haven’t looked for a job in six years. So much has changed, it’s incredible.

So true!
Thanks for watching. Thanks for commenting.
This is so true. I have been trying to get into a firm and they have done me like this. They said they will call and have yet to do so. It’s depressing
You HR people are ridiculous! You spend more time thinking about going to your daughter’s afternoon soccer game than you do focusing on the talent that’s in front you. Look at the resumes coming in. READ THEM! They are real people. Don’t forget to confront the egos of the senior managers when discussing prospective employees. They have their heads up their asses. But in the end they will get nothing because all of you, including the senior managers and department directors, are so indecisive. NOTHING GETS DONE!
I hope you weren’t including me in that “You HR people” comment. I was in search. I was paid to fill jobs, not make nice.
No joke on taking too long. Some of them have taken a month so far with 2 interviews
I’ve known of the 6 month and 9 month interview cycle
@Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter not sure how they plan on getting anyone. I’d imagine most can’t wait that long due to bills unless they are able to keep it secret that long from their current employer.

@Furware EXE those people were working so it was not a question of them taking another job go pay the bills. These were leaders who I spoke to specifically about the role and introduced to an intriguing position. Both parties knew they were doing the equivalent of professional dating and could break up at any time
