Prophet Zacharia Posted March 9, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2022 With a group she’s had MULTIPLE job interviews with over the last few weeks. This is the third day of interviews in total. She just wants it to end, for them to either make her an offer or not, but no more interviews, please. I feel like a breakfast meeting means she’s a finalist? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they want a free fancy breakfast & this lets them expense it? She has the job, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After breakfast, she should ask what their timeline going forward looks like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s interviewed with about a dozen people so far. Her first day was a group with very senior people, the next day was two weeks later with a mix of senior and lower management and some of the people she’d be working with together. Today, idk. 5 minutes ago, JerrySTL said: I've always heard that the party who brings up money first, loses. I would think that delaying talk of money is to her advantage, she can make them love her and feel they need her, then she can tell them they need to stretch the offer some. 29 minutes ago, 2Far said: So, have they talked money yet? She’s aware of the proposed range. She’s going to ask for a bit more, but they’re not way off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted March 9, 2022 Share #7 Posted March 9, 2022 In construction, it's: "where?"; "how long"; and then "how much". It eliminates a lot of protracted talk-talk. Companies who resist talking $s, frequently don't/can't offer enough. The same goes with benefits discussions as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s worked for them in various jobs for 25 years, but this is the biggest change in job that she’s considered making. But the benefits are unchanged, just a function if they’ll bump her pay for her to make the transfer, as her current pay is $1000 more than the top of their published range. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted March 9, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 9, 2022 I think breakfast is a very good sign. The place where my wife is now working drug out the interview process for about a month. There were multiple lunches, shadows, phone interviews and in person interviews. It wore ME out and I wasn't even interviewing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Prophet Zacharia Posted April 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share #11 Posted April 8, 2022 She got the job today! She heard nothing for weeks, but got called last week asking for her references. Heard earlier this week from her future boss with a hypothetical offer that she accepted, then HR made it official tonight. My wife is on cloud nine, so it’s a great night. Took a long time, though. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted April 8, 2022 Share #12 Posted April 8, 2022 I was interviewed by 3 universities over the last few decades. They have panel of interviewers, then there was lunch or supper. One also has to deliver a group presentation ranging from 15 - 3 people, on pre-set topic. I've had this once for a public sector job competition also. Like I said folks, types of jobs I've had requires good verbal/ group presentation skills. I found the university recruitment, abit onerous and bureaucratic, quite honestly. I don't mind the mult-phase screening....but one can see how costly this all is. I guess the idea is people who you may work with you, get to see different sides of you under different "conditions". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
