Do companies do background checks after the 1st interview or the 2nd interview?
I filled out all the applications and surveys and interviewed with the controller and the hr director. Then they called me back for a second interview and this time I’ll be interviewing with the controller, hr director and the president of the company.
Do you think the background check was performed after the 1st interview or are they going to wait until after the second interview with the president?
Thank you so much!!
I actually received a 5.5% pay cut. I’ve been hashing this out with HR for a year and half and all they keep telling me is that the VP would never have approved the 7% raise. Was this not an implied contract? Do I have any legal action I can take? I’m in management and a salaried employee, do the rules not apply to us?
I had a job interview in April that went quite well, and I was called back for a 2nd interview with two of the managers. That 2nd interview wasn’t perfect, but went all right. That was 2 weeks ago, and at the time they said they’d finished interviewing all candidates and they’d probably decide within a few days. I didn’t hear anything after 1 week, so I called the HR director, and she apologized that things were moving slowly, but said no decision had been made yet. She also said the position had NOT been filled and she had NOT been asked to seek out any more candidates, which I took as a good sign. I thanked her and said I’d wait to hear back. I then sent a polite letter to the 2 managers to let them know I was still very interested in the position.
That was one week ago, and I still haven’t heard anything. Should I wait, or check in again?
P.S. They told me that only a small handful of people would make it to the 2nd interview, that’s why I figured they could decide quickly.
I called my ex manager to see if i was rehirable and she told me “yes” and to come into the open house on Tues. I came in and interviewed with HR and my manager. (I left the job in October 2007) When I was about to leave, the receptionist asked if I got it. I told her that I didn’t know but I hope so. She told me that the companies Vice President (who was also conducting some interviews) told her to put my application to the side. Is that a good thing? I was thinking either he is taking me out of the pile because he plans or rehiring me or he is taking me out of the pile because he has no plans on rehiring me. What do you guys think?
This is my first job out of college…
I was asked for a salary range before I went to my 2nd interview. I said $50k, which is a bit below my industry avg., but I mentioned it was negotiable.The offer came and the HR dept said they were not able to make my asking salary, but tried their best. The offer is $46k+$2K signing bonus, and I will be reviewed in 6 months for a raise.
The contract is in the mail, and while waiting, the VP has phoned me personally saying that he sincerely would like for me to consider joining the company, and showed great enthusiasm.
Now, should I take the offer? or do I still have room to negotiate a $1000 more? I will be in NYC where living costs are very high.
I have been interviewing over the phone with a company for about 4 weeks now. I have had phone conversations with the Acct. Director, Supervisor and the VP of Acct Services.I have a friend that works there and said that everyone liked me. Last week (weds) I had my final interview before I was supposed to go to the company. However since then the HR manager that I have been dealing with has just disappeared, she will not return my call or email. This is for a major company so I am trying to give it two weeks before I really start to think that it is a no go. Has anyone experienced this, or have an idea of what might be going on. I haven’t received a letter, email or phone call saying that I didn’t get the job but at the same time I haven’t heard anything either. Any help on this would be appreciated *** I really want this job and am really trying to stay positive about it.
I got a salary verification letter about a month ago from my employer because I have been apt hunting. Upon choosing an apartment, I opened the envelope to take the letter to leasing office to show proof of income. Today the leasing officer told me that I would need the document notarized for them to accept it as valid proof of income. My question is this, will they notarize the document (it is the original) without the document signer (the HR Director) present? Will the Notary have to call HR to verify? I was planning on going tomorrow (Saturday) but if they have to verify then I will just wait until Monday to get it notarized because HR is not there on the weekends.
