NoxObscuras 09/26/23 12:11:16 PM #10:	I work for the state. We've sometimes offered the job to a candidate over a month after the interview. For some organizations it just takes time. For us, there's a lot of paperwork and waiting on different departments to do their thing. For a candidate we need: Live scan (fingerprint) to be done for background check (can take a few weeks) All 3 references *must* be contacted (this one takes a while if their references never pick up the phone) The Classification & Certification Section in HR to review and approve the paperwork (can also take a few weeks) Personnel to provide the starting salary (usually 1-4 days) --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:976316326] in Who the fu...

--Zero- 09/26/23 1:03:14 PM #23:	Lazy ass corrupt HR practices most likely. They want to interview someone better or they have to pass it up to other managers higher up who will judge you based on your credentials instead of interviewing you themselves. In reality they should let you know by the end of the day or within 72 hours. If they liked your resume then the credentials are there. If they liked you in the interview then it should just be a matter of a background check. --- Sig <cite>--Zero- posted [p:976317280] in Who the fu...

Daffadilio 09/26/23 1:59:31 PM #25:	Saxon posted... I regret to inform you of a harsh truth about interviews. If you're not hired on the spot, then you didn't get the job. Absolutely false- in almost all skilled industries. Some places have policies that the job posting has to be up for a specific length of time, that they have to interview everyone qualified that applied (even if the decision was already made up in the managers mind). Some people are authorized to hire within a certain budget, so if salary is discussed, they might have to take it back for approval. Sometimes the person interviewing is not the final say, so they have to compile second round applicant lists for who ever is. Even in the restaurant industry, about half of my employers have required two interviews despite telling me at the end of the interview that theyll recommend hiring me to their boss. --- You remind me of the times when I knew who I was... <cite>Daffadilio posted [p:976318245] in Who the fu...

Esp since so many places near me are desperate for warm bodies period. Made me laugh when it took my restaurant over a week from application for them to call me to interview when I knew they were short staffed af.
