Just finished my 3rd interview for a Trader position (1st with a recruiter, 2nd with management, 3rd with a director).

The third interview seemed to fly by and the director seemed distracted and more interested in hearing who I was, my experience and then wanted to wrap up the meeting. Was this just a formality and it’s likely I got the job or was his disinterest a bad sign for me? He did mention that the previous manager was impressed with my background.

Probably good. The director may have been intending to focus on your personal skills rather than specific job skills.

I’d say this is good, any interview where they’re more interested in learning about YOU as a person has always seemed to be a formality to getting a job to me. Why would you think it would be negative to have your possible future director express that your last round went well and that he wanted to get to know you? Workplaces have a lot of moving parts and while you may be able to find 100 people with a skillset that fits a position, chances are there wouldn’t be as many people whose personalities would mesh with current office culture wherever that may be. I say don’t worry about it and I’ll give you preliminary congratulations on the soon to come job offer my friend.

So, did you get the job?

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
