During an interview for an HR position, I was told the VP of hr was genuinely impressed with my skills and qualifications and even spoke of the position as if I had already had it. Said the position would not be open until the current merger was done they were going through. That was 2 months ago. A week ago, she told me she hadn’t forgotten about me and that they were in a hiring freeze at the moment but would be reaching out soon. Every time I reach out to her, I get ghosted but when she does

Never wait around. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Always keep applying to other opportunities no matter how much it seems like this hiring manager wants you. Until there is a formal offer extended, nothing is set in stone. So, don’t miss out on checking out other opportunities and doing other interviews. Waiting around is unfair to you.

Speak to me or about me (personal acquaintance) she speaks very highly of me and that she is very interested in me. Am I crazy for waiting around for her to reach out to me or should I just take it as it is and continue waiting?

Mergers often take a long time. If there is still a hiring freeze, then this VP probably doesn’t have anything else to say to you because, well, they are waiting on the merger to go through.

Starting the interview process at a competitor and the people I will be interviewing with know my current team members just from being in the industry and I think some even used to work together. Does it go without being said that the people I am interviewing with won’t say anything to my current team members or should I be concerned about this?

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?
