This promotion includes a educational program financed by the company. this promotion is very rare for a new employee. The company did everything to facilitate the interview by accommodating my schedule. I did a profile assessment few days before the interview. I had the interview last Tuesday. Before the interview, I was in the top 4 in their short list. After the interview, the interviewer told me that I was in the top 3. He also said that he will make his decision and will have to wait the approval of his supervisor. This will take about 3 or 5 days and he will hope to get the answer before the starting date which is the next Tuesday. He will inform me as soon he get the approval. During the interview , he said the following things. I answered all his questions and would like to ask too more questions to confirm my profile. He didn't take a lot of notes during the interview. During the interview, He also talked about himself such as how he became the manager of this branch, how much time per week is really spend in working and studying. He also talked about the community, his team and their success. He also gave me a very detailed descriptions of the training program, duties and responsibilities, the weekly, monthly goals, and how the company will help me to learn and grow and to perform.

I was told to come in the next day to meet and interview. Because of my Kinesiology background I was qualified to teach health and physical education and with an English lit minor I had an little extra to give. They interview went well and i even met some of the teachers who were pulled out of class to tell me how the experience was working for this particular school. Because the interview was unplanned she asked me to jot down a few references. As I think back now i tried to pull out the obvious signs like, "Wow you also have a literature background." Also, that the interviewer spoke as if I was an asset and what i could contribute. I was told I would bear a word back this week and like anyone, waiting is the hard part mainly because it is still early and I am sure applicants are still pouring in. Do you think I got it? Also, should I keep looking for other positions in the meantime?

The position that I applied for was an internal position for the company that I already work for. I was talking to another applicant that sits right next to me and figured out that over 6 other employees applied and were rejected and I am in the Final run for the position. The first part of my interview was a few questions and prescreening...a test. The second part was a one on one with the actual supervisor of the dept and the 3rd interview was with the HR dept. She asked me the "Why you question..and 4 other S.T.A.R question in which i felt I answered to the best of my ability. She actually told me that there was another guy that they are considering and that she and the sup will collaborate first and then give me and answer on Monday.. Im very nervous. I sent thank you letter to both and I also did a powerpoint presentation that i printed out that showed my sucesses in 2009 and 10 points on why I should be hired for my second interview. I wanted to stand out from all the rest. Should I have done more?? Hi, well Yesterday I had a 3rd and Final interview and I felt that it went well.

I was 20 minutes early according to my time. They didn't say anything at the time. and I also happened to go to several wrong buildings before the interview and mentioned this to them. After the interview I realized what I had done and called the interviewer and left her a message because she wasn't available. I explained what happened and apologized. I'm afraid I totally screwed everything up. She was very nice and told me all about the position. She asked me about my experience and we chatted about the current place I work. She said they had another interview or two and she would know something tomorrow and if I dont hear anything then to call her. She gave me her number. I can't believe I made such a big mistake. Another thing is she asked if this job was something I would be interested in. I assured I was very interested. I don't want to get my hopes up though because I probably wouldn't hire someone who showed up late. wdyt?

Iv had 4 interviews, but the interviewer always seems to talk about himself. Most of the people that seem to be interviewing are doing it as a socializing thing for themselves. A guy last week put me to sleep, i mean he bored me to death! very odd. Well my experience is like most. Iv had 4 interviews, but the interviewer always seems to talk about himself.

I first had a phone interview with the Hiring Manager for 1 hour. Then was a invited to an on-site interview which lasted for 1 hour 45 minutes. The Hiring Manager and I made a great connect. I was introduced and also interviewed by someone else I would be working with. I had all the signs of a good interview and was also asked my available date to start and also was given a definite date by when I should hear back. Bottom line, I heard back within 3 days with a decision we decided to go with another candidate only because she had more experience. Bottomline, I really aced the interview and it was an experience/entry level position. It all depends on the market. Right now is very competitive and Experienced professionals are taking pay cuts.
