      Interview

      I applied upon an employee referral. I received an invite to complete a video interview. 4 days later the HR rep reached out to me to schedule a panel interview. There were three people in the panel interview, but their openness made it very comfortable and conversational. I received an offer later the same day of interview. Very fast interview process.

              Interview

              Received a phone screening from a Talent Acquisition Specialist then progressed on to a Skype Interview. The phone screening went absolutely well. The talent acquisition specialist asked why did I want to work for the company and how I felt my skills and knowledge would apply to the position. The Skype interview was done by the Director of Training Services. She was very distracted during the process. Was not really paying attention to me. Even had to get up because the vacuum started running in her home. I continuously heard her phone sounding off in the background.

                The interview process was pretty extensive. There was a phone interview followed by a face-to-face interview and finished with a panel interview. If you pass the phone interview you will be brought in to have a face-to-face interview with the talent team. If they like you, you will then be asked to interview in front of a panel of managers.

                  Lead Business Consultant

                  Was laid off 6 weeks ago and I have two opportunities that I feel good about. One with a consulting firm (ABC) and one with an industry company (XYZ). I have 1 more round with XYZ and I was verbally told an offer would come from the ABC. I want the industry offer, but given it's not guaranteed, I'm not sure if I should 1) decline the ABC offer if it truly comes through and wait or 2) accept ABC offer and leave if XYZ comes through, thus burning bridges and setting a bad reputation. Thoughts?

                  Is it possible to not be given a job offer because the background check is taking too long to clear? I was essentially given a contingent verbal offer last Friday, but they wanted to run the background check before they gave me an official offer.
