    Default Re: Interview waiting process, is the worst.

    I wouldn't worry. If your friend is a good employee there, his referral will mean a lot. For the job I'm at now, my friend and I both applied at the same time. I got hired after my first interview, and my buddy got three interviews and wait listed. During our training, our recruiter sat in our conference room to see how his choices were panning out. Since I came in with a certification that the others were studying for, I helped out the group a ton...even staying afterwards to work on some concepts they were having problems with. At the end of the training, I pulled the recruiter aside and told him they'd be missing out if they didn't hire my friend. I made it clear that I hate giving referrals because I hate looking like an idiot if they don't pan out, but I was positive about this guy. They called him two hours later and offered him a position, and he's been one of our best employees ever since.

    Good employees are hard to find. If one is willing to vouch for you, it'll mean a lot. You're lucky in the sense that you already have a job; so try to relax in the meantime. Good luck!

    I will patiently wait for their decision.
    I'd only contact them if it gets to a point that it's affecting a secondary decision you need to make. At that point I'd follow up. Other than that Deuce is right, wait.

    Yes, good point. If you have an additional offer contact them again.

    But don't do something stupid like fake an additional offer just to get an earlier response. That would be incredibly stupid and will likely blow up in your face.

    I emailed a thank you letter to the partner Friday, September 25th at 10am.
    She replied to me at 10:21am.

    "You are welcome [insert my first name]. It was nice to see you. We are working through all of the interviews and hope to be back to you soon.

    Have a great weekend,"

    Around 1pm that same day, she contacted my friend who is now a Senior Staff Accountant there, my friend immediately contacts me on facebook and tells me about it. Ends up the conversation with "I personally think you have the job."

    Pretty much why I'm a nervous wreck.
    Had a great weekend, didn't worry at all but as time passes, the waiting game is torturing me.

    I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't look good. If they're understaffed, shouldn't they have gotten back to you already? It's been now more than two weeks. I agree with DW, don't badger them, if you're the one they want to hire, you'll hear from them so chill. And it's not the end of the world if you don't get the offer.

    Title of the thread misleading.


    Stop being a btch and stop worrying. You have a job already, most of the people you're talking to on here would kill for a good job like yours.

    Wrong.
    I'm legitimately worried.

    It's been 8 days since the interview.
    7 days since I emailed the partner and since she contacted my reference.
    My friend said the turnaround is usually quick for KPMG.
    But she also said it might be different circumstances as they might be hiring more positions this time around; so it is more time consuming.

    Their last interviews were finished on Tuesday (so 3 days ago).
    I'm only extremely anxious because of my friend.
    The recruiter said 1-2 week; but she told me by Wed/Thu you should hear if you got it. I guess I'll just listen to the actual recruiter.

    Follow up with the recruiter.

    It doesnt matter whether the recruiter thinks you are a nagging SOB. If the partner wants you, youre in, and nothing you say to the recruiter short of really stupid shit like "*** yo mama" can change that.

    That is terrible advice. Very immature.

    OP, chill the fuck out. Professional hirings can take months. You have no idea what internal processes they must go through before the hiring can be official. Everyone will have a lot of anxiety in your position, but you need to grow up and have some patience.

    did they not tell you when they will contact you with their decision? Any professional company will tell you that information.

    One to two weeks, the recruiter told me right after the interview was over.
    Thanks Deuce, I will take your advice man.

    I needed to hear the harsh reality.
