Dovary? Darenina? Dolita?

This is making me laugh every time I read it.

Not a last name, but Dashiell?

Thanks, Sparky. I think at this point I've probably interviewed at least once with the place I'll end up working, the question is which one will it be. I have a couple of second interviews coming up now.

I totally skipped over that, but awesome news on the job opportunities, Gud. Fingers crossed!

That's great, Gud. And you can totally just ask for time to respond to an offer.

On the subject of interviews:

My expectation is that for any job, my interview will be at least one full day, possibly more.

My husband has never had an interview go longer than an hour.

There are four places I'm really hoping to get. I've had a phone interview and a technical test for one of them and they both went well, so hopefully they'll bring me in for a face to face. With another, I've had a phone interview and they are bringing me in to talk with people from 9:00am to 2:00pm Thursday. I had a phone interview with a third that went well, but the skill set isn't a great match (which they knew from the recruiter beforehand) so that's a bit iffy. I had an in-person interview with the fourth that I thought went well, but that was two weeks ago so I'm starting to think that might be toast. I was the first person they interviewed though, so it might just be they are going slow in the first round.

Then there are a couple of places I've interviewed with in person that would be... okay, and I have a phone interview with another place that I suspect won't be real exciting coming up.

A full day, wow. I can't imagine one going that long. Most of mine are in the hour to hour and a half range. The one Thursday is that long because I'm interviewing for multiple jobs.

My expectation is that for any job, my interview will be at least one full day, possibly more.

I've had project interviews (where you're bidding on a project) last longer than most of my job interviews. Depends on the industry, I guess.

I spent longer applying for the job I have now than I did in the interview.

And good luck, Gud! I'm glad to hear you have options.

Here's a little Google autocomplete trick that might help. Open a google search page and enter, say, "Darcy DeWinter". Then put the cursor just after the 'y' and start deleting the characteres in "Darcy" until there's just the "D" left. Google will then autocomplete various first names starting with "D" with the last name "DeWinter".
