I was an intern with this company my last semester in college. I applied for a vacant position, interviewed with the VP of the department, and he “informally” offered me the job on the spot. He told me that he thought that I was perfect for the position and that he was going to call HR right after I left his office, so that they could properly offer me the position. He did call! I called the next day to speak with the HR secretary to check and she heard how impressed the VP was with me. It has been 2 weeks (going on 3 this Wednesday) since my interview and the HR Director hasn’t contacted me yet. I called this week and last week in reference to my status and the secretary told me that they were in the process of doing my background check and references. No news is good news! I am still confident that I have the job. However, as a recent college graduate, I am new to the job market. Is it customary for the human resource process to take this long?

TO: All Employees DATE: 4th November RE: Christmas Party.
I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take
place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!
We’ll have a small band playing traditional carols…please feel free
to sing along. And don’t be surprised if the MD shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1.00p.m.. Exchange of
gifts among employees can be done at that time, however, no gift
should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone’s pockets. This gathering is only for employees! The MD will make a special announcement at the Party. Merry Christmas to you and your Family. Pauline.

RE: Holiday Party.
In no way was yesterday’s memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.
We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However,
from now on we’re calling it our ‘ Holiday Party’.. The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be
no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.
Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family, Pauline.
FROM; Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 6th November RE: Holiday Party.
Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table…you didn’t sign your name. I’m happy
to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, “AA Only”, you wouldn’t be anonymous anymore!!!! How am I
supposed to handle this? Somebody? Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the Union Officials feel that £10.00
is too much money and Management believe $10.00 is a little cheap. NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED. Pauline.
FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 7th November RE: Holiday Party.
What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees’ beliefs, perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party – or else package everything up for you to take home in a little foil doggy bag. Will that work? Meanwhile, I’ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets, Gays are allowed to sit with each other, Lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men’s table too. To the person asking permission to cross dress – no cross dressing allowed. We will have booster seats for short people. Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used inthe food.
we suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply “No Sugar” desserts. Sorry! Did I miss anything?!?!?!?!?! Pauline.
FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All F****** Employees DATE: 8 November RE: The *******Holiday Party.
Vegetarian pricks I’ve had it with you people !!! We’re going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the “grill of death”, as you so quaintly put it, you’ll get your f****** salad bar, including organic
tomatoes, But you know tomatoes have feeling too, They scream when you slice them. I’ve heard them scream. I’m hearing the scream right NOW!! Hope you all have a rotten holiday, drink drive and die.
The ***** from HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FROM: John Bishop – Acting Human Resources Director DATE: 9th November RE: Pauline Lewis and Holiday Party.
I’m sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery, and I’ll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, the Management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and instead, give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd December off with full pay.
I went to apply for a Retail store in Nyc, and the position is seasonal. I went to the first interview (went great). Then the 2nd interview went well. I think the second interviewer was innacurate in telling me they would give me a call back in 2-3 so i called a week after that and the human resource director told me that the interview went well and they have to the process of checking everyones referances…
How long will that take? Do you think i have the job?
