Job Interview Questions

[GunnerOne 84]

I am currently looking to change companies, and started the interview process with a firm this week. I interviewed with the manager who would be my immediate supervisor, as well as one of her counterparts immediately after wards per her request. At the end of the interview, she asked if I would be available the next day for a 2nd round of interviews with her. I said yes and met with her today.

The first interview last roughly an hour and a half, with the 2nd lasting 2 and a half hours. I also met with one of the employees who I would work closely with and was able to ask questions about the job. At the end of this interview today, I was asked if I could arrive at 9 AM Monday morning to meet with the company president, as well as spend some time out in the office with the staff. I was told to expect to be there for at least 3 hours.

My question is, how far along am I in the hiring process? At my current position, I met with 3 people, but did so on the same day, and none were executive level. I've interviewed for quite a few positions lately, but this one really jumps out at me. While I don't mind going through an extended process, I would be pretty bummed if I spent 8 hours with their company to not be offered the position.

Any insight would be much appreciated, as this is new to me.

Usually, if you are asked to meet the company president, that's the last step. Also, didn't you have a recruitment associate from HR managing the whole process? You can ask them outright how far along in the hiring process you are. Big corporations usually have multiple interview stages like this, so I wouldn't worry about it. It is disappointing if you don't get it at the last stage, but that's how these things are.

No, I have had no contact with HR.

Sounds like you got the job if this meeting goes right, last update was 13 days ago, did you get the job?

I recently interviewed for 3 hours and met 3 high level employees. They asked that I follow that up with an interview with their corporate office. I left that feeling like I had nailed it...and then.....nothing

It did not work out, but the point is that you just never know. I can be one little thing that pushes them towards someone else over you, even if you were the most qualified.

Take your shot and don't over-analyze it.
