Agency interviews you. Loves you. They want to make an offer.
Then they disappear for 3.5 mos. Unclear why.
Now they’re back & they want to hire. Said I was their 1st choice all along & they had to..>

JFC, OP- is this your first job interview at another agency? This is how things go. You get a great gig and a promotion. Shut up and be grateful for what’s being offered.

Happened to me at one of the big places about 5 years ago...had a great interview, didn't hear a peep for about 6-7 weeks...at which time they made me an offer. Go for it if it's somewhere you think you want to be.

@OP yeah I wrote that before you posted your extension. I take back my comment. It’s possible they had to check a box to satisfy a rule saying they considered diverse candidates. Who knows

It's irrelevant what happened, now they do want you so consider it a win and take it if you like the people and company, etc. Weirder things have happened to me and it took even longer.

They may have had to take a diversity candidate and then after a few months that didn't work out, so now they're hiring you.

If it were a big agency, I’d be more comfortable saying where. But it’s pretty small. And not in a big market. I can say that.

That is insane. Diversity is an important consideration in a number of criteria used to make a decision...whoever told you this is mostly likely incorrect and not a shot caller. Blaming diversity for their flip flopping is morally wrong too, and could get them in trouble.

Sounds like a bs excuse for what SC1 said, but if you want the job take it. Maybe get a few extra pto days while you work towards getting it.

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!
