I applied for a job three months ago and I just heard from them today. They want me to come in for an interview. Is it a bad sign that it's taking this company so long to fill this position?

That seems unusual, but hey, it's good news, don't question it. Some companies seem to have been in a state of suspended animation, not sure whether to do any hiring. So a company moving along at a crawl is odd, but in the current context maybe it's just the way things are going.

honestly, it sounds like they had hired someone already and they work out so they went back to the drawing board

Ask them about their search

If you are still interested, go for it. Probably their first choice candidate reneged. No harm in asking during the interview the reason.

Yes. If they are this slow to initiate contact the process of interviewing will be painfully slow. 🚩🚩

I think tho to a lot of people interested in the same role

I genuinely think I’m on the brink of quitting. Nope, I have no exit plan, no job searches started, not even an updated resume. But I do have three 4:00 AM-ers in the last 8 days, partners telling me to *increase* my hours, and anxiety that’s so high I can barely eat or sleep. My body is physically breaking down from a year of high stress and I’ve been on the brink of a panic attack for the last four days. I don’t want to do anything stupid, but I don’t know how much longer I can last. Thoughts?

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer.

Would I still have chance to be offered?

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
