2 months ago I had an interview with a prominent company in the city I am currently living in. I interviewed with someone in HR who told me that they would find me a position, which would be brand new, and was called in the next week to talk to the manager and general manager of the business unit that they thought I would fit in well with. I had a great interview with them, where they told me that they thought I would be a great fit. Weeks passed and I hadn’t heard anything. Then the HR director called me to say that the gentleman that I had interviewed with left the company, they didn’t forget me, and that they were really interested in me. I have spoken to her 4 more times since then, and she has told me every time that they are very interested (so much they proposed countering any job offers) and had to interview internally before they hired me. The position has been taken off of the website (as of Tues.), and she hasn’t returned my phone call since then.

if they are calling you thats good. maybe it takes some time to get a new position up and going.
First of all was she calling you. Or were you calling her? If you were calling her then she was just pulling your leg to keep you off her back. Maybe she couldn’t bring herself to tell you the truth. I would start looking for something else.
Here’s what I would say the next time I talked to the HR person: “I’m really excited about the possibility of working for your company, but I’ve got some other job offers that I need to respond to by (some date). Your company is definitely my first choice, but I need to know where I stand as soon as possible.”
It sounds to me that they have a lot of internal problems going on at this moment, and while they have every intention of hiring you, they may not be able to. The corporate world has become very unstable. This company sounds a little disorganized, it shouldn’t take two months to get someone hired and working and it definitely shouldn’t take two months to recover from someone leaving…maybe you should consider your options. If you have a better or similar offer maybe you should start considering it. Let this company know that if they don’t find you something within, lets say, 2 weeks that you are taking the other job. If they want you, they will find a spot. If they don’t try to get you something then they are just giving you the run around.
Good luck!
