After the job interview?
Find answers to your legal question.





After the job interview?

I have been interviewed for a job with three different people. All three interviews appear to have been successful. I was almost certain I would get the job because the third interviewer asked me when I could start and said human resources would be notifying me. It has been three days now and I have not been notified. Is this normal business practice? Should I wait until I am notified? Do they have to notify me in case they changed their mind? Should I inquire with them, or should I be more patient? If I do inquire, what is the best way to inquire?I am starting to think that I must have interpeted the situation differently. Any mature advice is appreciated. Thank you.

The best way would be by ringing them and thanking them for the interview and asking them for the result !!


greggace
for a job of 100k or more, just wait...
3 more days...

if its 40k or less, call real friendly and say, Hi, I am just calling to see if (so and so) has made a decision on my recent appointment, and if prompted say the reason is I have several other offers for employment etc...

I would say give it a few more days, then call, politely, and say you were in for an interview recently and were just wondering if theyd had time to review your resume or come to a conclusion. Dont be pushy ar sound desperate, just show you are very interested.


I agre w/ the first guy, you should let them know their are other parties interested in you . . .

The Top 10 tips for a successful job interview

Job interviews in many organizations are increasingly demanding these days. Psychological tests, role plays, and challenges to a "quick intelligence" Street and intelligence are often part of the package. While it is impossible to everything you can expect, here are ten tips that will help you interview the negotiations process successfully.

1st Preparing and over-preparation.


It is assumed that you are not with egg and go to your tie, spinach in your teeth, and without a thorough knowledge of the organization and the position for which you are interviewing. In addition, it is an important principle that you have the opportunity, a lot more confidence. It's called "over-preparation." It goes as follows: Plan your strategy - your answers to all sorts of questions you may be asked, or the challenges that are thrown at you - and then practice, practice, practice. Play, and repeat the best answer, until they are totally natural, they simply roll up your tongue with the apparent spontaneity that only with the subsequent repetition.

You can also communicate with a job applying mate or a job insider during the preparation. If you've got a friend that is running or working in you dreaming company, why not contact him asap? <a href="http://www.insidersreferral.com/">... Free Insiders Referral Network of Jobs - insidersreferral.com</a> is such a place where you won't miss.

2nd Be very clear on what you know and what you want to achieve.


If your interview is back on (you have it, a resumption of either before or simultaneously), the facts of your stated objective, experience, education, etc. carefully stored and mentally. As for your job objective, clearly what you want, but also what you do not want. There is very little space on the job market for the candidates who are willing, everything that he or she is usually nothing!

3rd Make sure that your answers with your debts.


For example, if you have taken extra course work to qualify for a certain position, license or certification, include it in your story, for example, "If I change my course work for my CPA, I learned that ..." Build on your CV, but not directly related to it (provided that the interviewer has it in his possession), make sure the connections are there, but it is subtle.

4th Clarity about your strengths.


They are almost to be taken to certain questions with regard to your strengths and weaknesses. Know your strengths and emphasize that the specific to the position for which you are being considered. If, for example, you can apply for a sales position, which you describe your strengths could (if it's true) as follows: "I did a study of personality types, and I have quickly learned, the people in terms of Art for the kind of approaches that can best attract. "Be prepared, in this case a backup copy of your claim when suddenly the interviewer asks:" What kind would you say that I am? "

5th Describe your weaknesses as strengths.


This is difficult, so let's think about the question why is asked. The interviewer will probably learn a few things about which you with the question, like whether or not you are arrogant ( "I do not believe that I have no weaknesses"), regardless of whether you know itself ( "Well, I never really thought that "), and finally, what to do to eliminate your weaknesses. Here are two ways to answer this question, so that you leave a positive impression in the minds of the interviewers: (a) Show that to overcome a weakness that you have learned. For example, if there is a time in your chronology that just does not fit (say that you took a job selling cars between jobs as an accountant ... it happens!), Can you tell the interviewer: "A weakness, It took some of the time to go to overcome wasthat I really was not sure that I wanted an accountant. For example, 1988-90, I worked as a car seller. I did this because I could not decide if I wanted to To make my accounting career. these experiences have taught me that I really do not want to sell their products, and that I am much more challenged by the opportunity to client problems. (B) Select a weakness is that really a strength. If, for example, you interview for a job in an organization that you know is tough and unforgiving collection of average performance, then you can say: "One of my weaknesses is that I tend to be impatient with people who are not ready , to pull your full weight and 110%. "In this case, your" weakness "can help you do the job.

6th If you ever fired are open about it.


So many people have been laid off by no fault of their own in the last ten years that it is no longer a stigma to have fired - unless there was justifiable reason (for example - you beat your boss). Answer directly, but without a "charge" in your voice. Their bitterness expressed over the years to tell the interviewer (rightly or wrongly) that you can not accept the realities of modern free enterprise - that downsizing is acceptable and often necessary.

7th Be clear what you want.


A standard-issue, which has all the possible variations is: "Where do you want to go five years from now?" Only now, the answers are different. Unless you plan to inherit Dad's company, your answer is apt to be much more than is commonly perhaps a decade. Why? Since the economy, and almost every industry are changing so fast that the specifics in terms of the distant future is extremely difficult. So, instead of responding to the question with "I plan in a position to the chief executive position in this company," you might want to say, "I plan to qualified in every phase of this industry." The exact answer depends on the specifics of the job search campaign, but the principle is: a specific and also the flexibility you indicates that you understand the complexity of the undertaking for which you are applying.

8th Have clear personal standards.


This is a threshold, because at first glance, the question seems not to have much to do with the direct interview. Today, however, many organizations are looking for people who DO have standards in terms of their personal and professional lives of the people who are articulate them clearly and concisely to the point, and who live by them. In this case, the shorter the better. "I delegate my weaknesses." "I do not, unless I can give you 100% commitment." "I respond peculiarities and avoid meaningless platitudes." "I am committed to lifelong learning and growth."

9th Interview the interviewer.


The applicant, everything offered is unlikely to win all but the most temporary positions. A competent interviewers (there are a few) will respect your efforts to the organization and the position in terms of whether it is not satisfied YOUR requirements. And you owe it to yourself to be defined before hand, what you are, what you want and are willing to work for the under certain conditions. For example, can you really want a salary of $ 75000 to start, but you would be less ready when the opportunities for growth are clearly in the picture.

10th Not let yourself be rushed through the levels.


Even today, it is still not unusual to hear the old refrain: "Our policy is not to pay for a new employee more than X% higher, as he / she is currently." Sorry, that does not fly. The real problem, and the only one here at stake is whether or not your prospective employer is willing to pay WHAT THEY ARE WORTH. And your value is a function of the work itself and its ability and willingness to make. In most organizations there are clear parameters for a given job, a series of wage, is adjustable depending on the market and the applicant. In most cases, unless you are very good, you have to work within those boundaries. But within the limits of what they are worth is a matter of mutual consent on the basis of your own knowledge about your value and your ability to convince them to interview. So, to sum up: Find out about the range of compensation for the task you want to make your own realistic determination of what you are worth, and then prepared to stand your ground.

I agree with I believe it was GreggAce (the first poster) - except do not say that you have other interested parties unless you really do.

That is not the right way to approach a hiring manager nor is it the way start a new position if what you are saying is not entirely true.
