Try to think about it in a different mindset. See it as a good sign. While the usual interview would take 30 to 45 minutes, yours took 2 hours. It could mean that they are really considering you for the job since they're investing their time to get to know you.

i don't see the point in this. Like after 30 minutes if you can't tell if I'm good for the job then what are we doing. here?

2 hours is just the average. As you can see, we have other friends here who went through an interview longer than you did. But honestly, 2 hours is really long.

2 hours? I'll be drained after 1 hour. I'm okay with 3-4 rounds of interviews, not with 2 hours straight interview.

Try 6 hours …. I world have loved it if it were only 2 hours…

I did, but after the 4th hour I started asking myself if it was worth it. It was but good grief talk about stressful.

I once had to attend two additional screenings after my first interview, which lasted almost an hour. In the end, they gave me an offer that was way below my asking price.

2 hours? I recently had an interview that was 4 hours long. There's no was that isn't against some law

Wow. That's two hours' worth of anxiety. I had a previous interview, and we pretty much tackled everything in 30 minutes.

How can interviewers not run out of questions to ask? That's insane. Oh, the mental torment this would give me.

Tell me about he asked me so many questions including location of clauses in design code

Was it your first or second interview? I would totally understand if it's your second because they usually take longer than the first.

First interview with the hiring managers. Second in total

I could only imagine myself being interviewed for two hours straight. I would require an entire week of rest to get over that much anxiety.

I started at 1pm finished little bit over 3pm after that I was out of energy they spend extra 30 minutes to ask more questions

Actually 2 hours is quite short. I've been to one that was 5 hours long. I was so tired by the end of it/

5 hours for an entry-level job or for a manager position

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses. Unemployment has run out and I’m starting to crumble under the pressure of bills. My experience the past 6yrs has been in smaller companies where my role was never just one thing but instead spread over multiple departments, so I’m struggling to narrow down how to convey the vast experience I do have.

Hey guys I’m new to fishbowl. I’m currently at a job where the is paying way below the cost of living for the area I live in. So it’s time to start updating my resume my question is jobs that I was at for less then a year do include them?

Does anyone know how to make their resume look more manager like? My resume shows:

- I have the skills and experience.
- I tailored it to the job description

The recruiter at a job fair yesterday said I'm a good fit, but to send her an email with edits to the resume to make it look more like a managers one because they have to sell applicants to higher ups and schedule an interview.

I can't wait too long to send it, so nervous as I'm picking at it trying to further change it.
