Got an offer to clerk for a DJ over the phone a couple of months ago. Silence since. I start in late summer, but when should I expect HR to reach out with onboarding materials? Is an offer letter usually sent?

This happened to me. I finally reached out to chambers and they had to send the paperwork to HR again (or they forgot to send it in the first place…). So I’d reach out 60 days out if you haven’t heard anything. HR typically sends an application and authorization for a background check, which they say can take 30-45 days.

This happened to me. Depending on where you are going (if you are moving/big city etc) you can ask for an offer letter for renting purposes. But generally I feel like its mostly on clerks, and clerks do not really think about how important offer letters are to seal a deal. I didn't get anything until I repeatedly asked for mine, maybe 4 months after accepting they got back to me.
