Need an advice: I might get an offer soon but I’ve just interviewed with another place that I like much better and they seem interested. So, in case I get an offer from the first place, should I let the other place know about it and see if they want to move forward with me? Thanks a bunch for any help!

Where are you interviewing? Need to know if you’re my competition.

I had this happen recently. Agency was moving faster than the in house interviews. I emailed the in-house person who was handling the recruiting and said I’m far along with another place in the interview process but am much more interested in their role, how quickly are they hoping to make a decision. They moved up the interviews quickly. They likely know you have other interviews and would appreciate knowing if a candidate was about to drop out.

If you're okay working at either place—i.e. this is not a "bluff" situation—tell the "much better" second place that you have an offer & a day or two to think about it, but you REALLY want to work at their/the second place, but would need to know ASAP.

This is exactly how I secured my second job which was a huge step up. I let them know the offer and my timeline, and they moved things up FAST.

Be completely honest and transparent with both companies. Let the first one know you have a final interview with the second company and let the second one know you have an offer on the table. It would be highly unusual for either company to back off. The first will be patient and the second will expedite. At least that’s how it was for me last time.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
