AMA Just aced a promotion interview

Ian · July 09, 2018, 03:58:42 PM

My last interview was only 15 minutes, lots of silence and quick short responses, and a half blank resume.

This one was 35-40 minutes, long detailed stories, a full page resume on resume paper, and both interviewers telling me I did exceptionally well, looked sharp, provided great answers/questions, and that I had the experience they wanted. Basically telling me I had the job without actually telling me that because they went through the whole "We have other candidates we have to interview as well" spiel and that they'll give me their answer soon.

They might give you some sort of test task, it depends on job you are applying for.

Good job man, I had one myself recently.

Lasted an hour, sweating pints because I was in a suit in a building without AC in a heatwave. Went well anyway, should hear from them soonish.

When do you find out? Did they just say after other interviews or they give a timeframe?

They specifically said about a week or two. They have one open position now but they will have one or two other open positions in the next two weeks hence why they said a week or two, but that they will definitely be reaching out to me within that time frame.

I can't believe Ian is going to become Mickey Mouse.

Nice one. I had an interview for a job a few weeks ago that I didn't really want but felt like I had to have available as an option, didn't do my homework for the interview at all and told the interviewer that my preferred job was something completely different and I was offered it anyways

UPDATE: I just learned that one of the people that interviewed me apparently called my leader a few days ago and asked about me. Don't know how to feel about that.
