Would like to ask a general idea of interview response in this summer vacation period in Europe.

I did an interview last week and was said there are only a few people working in HR right now due to the summer vacation so the response might be in August.
On the other hand, in my country, usually if the result is positive, they will get back in few days, no matter they are in summer vacation or not.

The country I’m applying for is in Europe - is it common? will you please share your thoughts?

Are you from the U.S.? I’ve recruited in both markets and in general, things move much slower in Europe. Europeans use their PTO as intended and don’t work through it the way Americans do. They also have a long notice period in most European countries, so hiring isn’t done in a rush the way it is in the U.S.

Hello and thanks for your response.
Im not from the US unfortunately but used to work in the US firms so I understand. But then I still responded during the summer vacation so it’s surprising actually.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
