Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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".
I don't think I've ever had an interview go longer than an hour. I've had multiple interviews, but even everything added all up, we're talking maybe a half-day tops.
ION, if I blow my nose any more my head is going to TURN INSIDE OUT. Stupid plague.
Once I met everyone in one meeting and there was no second round, and even that was just an afternoon, or less. Maybe three hours to meet 4 people.
Yeah, never a day. The most I've had to meet was two people, about an hour each. Unfortunately I got most of the way home after the first interview, but you can be damned sure I hightailed it back for the followup. And voila! I have this job.
Still feeling the sinus pressure, and the jeans I put on today have a big schmutz of ... something on them. Not my slickest day.
Why is it that the interview scheduling for the places I'd really like to work is so slow, while at the same time the less exciting, but okay places, are so efficient?
Clearly in your industry, firms work out their stats via the point buy method.
In other news, we totally broke one of the cats. When he adopted us, he was a lean mean stray who killed mice and birds (birds!), and was incredibly docile and friendly, but mostly aloof.
He now follows us around the house all. day. long., sleeps pressed up against one of us at all times, likes someone to be in the kitchen with him when he's eating, and licks your hair and your toes and your face.
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.
In my industry the interviews go all or most of the day--you end up meeting with 6-10 different people in a row, several of whom have no idea what your job does and others who you will barely work with.
I have been trained to expect interviews to last all day and be a series of annoying hoops.
