This seems to be the running theme in this thread...and happened with me too. I think employers can sense when its your dream/perfect job and it must really shine during an interview. I guess if it doesn't, then maybe they know its not your perfect job and give it to the person who absolutely loved the position.

6/28/2011 4:54:31 PM

Have some resumes out at Lockheed and the Chamber of Commerce here in town. Got a response back from the Chamber, had to fill out some sort of personality survey. But its a step in the right direction.

6/29/2011 11:44:48 AM

YES! After a year and a half of looking for a good "career" job, I finally get an offer. I am soo excited. I was actually waiting on two other jobs, but I said this one was good for me

6/29/2011 5:44:00 PM

Will have an onsite interview in the next two weeks. Bless myself!

^ congrats...also LOL, just got an email from a company I applied at, they aren't even interested in having an initial interview with me. Said after reviewing my resume, they've narrowed their search. Education req for the job was an Associates degree or a HS Diploma and exp. LOL AMERICA

7/5/2011 10:42:24 PM

checkin' back in. finished a short term contract, now back on the hunt. the good news is that i was able to put a little coin in the purse for the short term, so i'm not suckin' dick for cheeseburgers for the time being.

7/6/2011 3:52:51 PM

A permanent opportunity has opened up in my group at work. I was told that they would be looking at internal candidates first. If they decided to go outside, I would be the first that would speak with about the job. I've already put in my resume for it. Keeping fingers crossed.

7/6/2011 7:19:07 PM

Got an interview for basically my dream job towards the end of the month. Hope it goes well. Wish it was sooner though. My health insurance runs out at the end of July. I was going to aim for a lower caliber job to tide me over, but now I'm hesitant to until I know more about how this interview goes.

7/6/2011 9:28:30 PM

Good luck man! Hopefully the dream job trend continues in your favor

7/6/2011 9:31:06 PM

^^ Good luck! I'm in the same boat with an interview I have coming up next week. Let's get a dream job sweep!

7/6/2011 9:39:35 PM

Called today to follow up on the phone interview last Monday, left voice message.....then I checked my email a hr later and I had received an invitation for a in person interview and all the docs that I need to send prior. The interview is not until July 26. This is the first time I did not receive a call setting up the interview, just a email asking for me to confirm the date and time which I did (only had once choice). This is another job with the feds (career advancement).

I have to send a writting example and I have the perfect one from work (saved for some reason, not sure why, would of been hard to find).

7/6/2011 10:24:28 PM

Anyone ever had to do a webinar on a general topic for an interview?? I have to do a 12-15 minute presentation, either over the phone, Skype, etc. Never had this situation before, as I have done several presentations with the aid of powerpoint in front of an actual audience. I feel like Skype would be the best bet, but any other thoughts on how to proceed with this would be much appreciative!!

7/7/2011 12:01:00 PM

I had to do a 5-minute lesson plan on the spot in an interview once. That sucked

I would definitely go with Skype. Over the phone seems like it would be a real bitch to execute.

7/7/2011 12:10:59 PM

^^ you may want to take a look at gotomeeting.com

7/7/2011 5:34:09 PM

gotomeeting is really buggy in my experience.

7/8/2011 7:13:41 PM

I have a interview scheduled next Monday. But I lost contacts with the HR, neither email or phone call work. I need to settle down the exact time. What can I do? They only said they were very busy throughout the week.

7/9/2011 10:55:38 PM

Does the company website have an online employee directory or contact email/phone # listed?

7/9/2011 11:04:44 PM

Only one number and no people were on the line when I tried. Maybe I need to dial other sites. It has several branches in the country.

7/9/2011 11:14:47 PM

man, waiting until the 27th (I said 26th in early post, but that is incorrect) for the in person interview, going by soooooooooooooooooo slow.....

Interview today!

7/13/2011 11:14:32 AM

good luck!

7/13/2011 12:13:20 PM

Thanks!

I think it went really well. I interviewed with the entire department which was only three people lol. The interview lasted over an hour and a half We just got to chatting and didn't stop lol. They said I should hear from them by Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed!

7/13/2011 3:58:29 PM

If they kept you that long, they must have liked you. Good luck!

7/13/2011 4:34:30 PM

Once I had a 4 hour interview at Cisco

I didn't get the job

7/13/2011 4:47:11 PM

More like DoubleDowner! Amirite?

7/13/2011 5:48:40 PM

^^^^I am not sure if being chatty interview is good thing.....if they are not asking you questions they might of already decided no based on the first 15 minutes and then you starting talking about the weather so they went with it.......you should just answer the questions and not add things, I am guessing you like to go on and on and on and on and on and on some more?



[Edited on July 13, 2011 at 9:44 PM. Reason : w]

7/13/2011 9:42:05 PM

I'd say chatty in an interview like hers with a tiny department is very good. You have to work with these people every day and if you immediately show you can get along great then they'll remember you in a good way.

That's assuming the chatter stemmed from a question and what not, of course.

7/13/2011 9:52:56 PM

^ yep that's pretty much how it went. It's also a communications heavy position (ie paid to chat all day lol). Plus they're all women and you know how it is when women get together

7/13/2011 10:58:18 PM

I interviewed for a position and got maybe two words in the whole interview, which lasted 15 minutes. At the end of those 15 min the director offered me the job. He seemed more giddy about hiring me than I was about getting the offer. It took me a while for me to process that And when the official offer came in, I was pumped.

I have had all day interviews (with lunch) versus a second a third and even to the point of consulting for companies. These companies are odd and it confused me for a while. But when it comes right down to it, I will not argue or complain about an offer

7/14/2011 7:11:09 AM

^ that's awesome!

I had an awesome interview last month where the guy told me at the end that he wanted to hire me. The job came through a recruiter and I keep getting weekly updates of "they still don't have the funding to make the hire".

At least since it's a recruiter, they'll be able to tell me if the company actually says no.

7/14/2011 7:59:29 PM

I got an interview Saturday with a perfect job for me. I really hope I get it. Its only a year contract, so its not any career type job, but i will enjoy it if I get it.

7/15/2011 9:25:02 AM

They've started contacting my references

7/15/2011 9:39:21 AM

Good news all up in this thread right now. Best of luck to you all!

7/15/2011 1:47:30 PM

what is proper etiquette when looking for / interviewing for jobs when already employed?

7/15/2011 2:16:28 PM

dont get caught

7/15/2011 2:17:02 PM

^ Pretty much

7/15/2011 2:21:58 PM

Yeah, that's why I always get a letter of reference when leaving a job to have for my next job search.

Got two job offers this month and start a new job on Monday

7/15/2011 2:27:50 PM

Got two interviews this week, one for the job I mentioned before, and one other for tomorrow. That one had a crazy turn around time. I applied for it around 11:30pm on Friday and within about 10 hours from then they had called me and scheduled the interview for Monday morning... which means I should probably be heading to bed now. I've got a good feeling about both of these jobs, I may kick myself for saying this, but I believe 1 or 2 weeks from now, I'll be working at one of these 2 places.
