What is a good ratio of interviews to job OFFERS?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 24th, 2012 11:32 PM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard I've gotten like five solid interviews in the last month. One has already rejected me. Two have not told me anything yet, but at best I'll get a call back for an interview with the GC or higher level person.
And I have two more ints in the next week.
I suck at life in general so it's possible I will blow ALL five of these interviews. Is that pathetic, even in this economy? |

Date: April 25th, 2012 12:12 AM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard You should probably just say Thanks, fuckturd.
I dunno. That is pretty crazy so I wouldnt even bother replying. Thats borderline unprofessional to even call u back a second time and then not give u |
|
Date: April 25th, 2012 12:21 AM Author: Lilac Half-breed wait are you calling me a fuckturd or are you saying i should call him a fuckturd? yeah, very weird situation. i thought for sure i had the jerb in the bag. WTF would you call someone BACK in after dinging them only to ding them again? alright, if i wasn't good enough the first time, they know that. no need to bring me back in. if they want to bring other people in for the second job and compare to my first set of interviews, that'd be fine too. but this shit was just goddamn ridiculous. |
|
Date: April 25th, 2012 12:24 AM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard i was saying u shld call them a fuckturd
but u are a fuckturd for getting ass raped that bad.. seriously ive never heard of that shit
though technically ive applied to the state dept foriegn service two years in a row and been rejected even after passing the test but thats diff |

Date: April 25th, 2012 12:29 AM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard i hate interviewing.. it is such bullshit.. just lying and overstating ur abilities and the interviewers usually are just full of shit.. they already know who they want to hire really based on the resume..

Date: April 25th, 2012 12:12 AM Author: pearly heady filthpig I don't want to get your hopes up, but my only offer consisted of a 2-month process. I had to meet every single person in the department, but the partners would periodically call me if I had any questions. I felt like asking (after the third round of interviews): "Yea, do I have an offer?" I went through the whole pony show for another 3 weeks before receiving an offer.

Date: April 25th, 2012 12:15 AM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard When I was in BIGLAW I had this inhouse place where I sent my resume, didnt get called for three months. Then I literally had a phone interview with the inhouse guy, a second phone interview more indepth, then I think a third phone interview, then a inperson interview with two more ppl, then anotehr interview with teh GC of the company.. this took over 3 months and then...
they rejected my ass. hired a blond with less expereince. |

|
Date: April 24th, 2012 11:53 PM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard i think so too.. cause the job market is so bad they can just call in shitloads of ppl
so far ive interviewed for one temp inhouse position, one SHITLAW position that rejected me, two corporate positions related to law but non-JD technically, and one perm inhouse position
but yeah, all these jobs are just fuckturds.. they know they can take their time and that ppl are desparate and they can pick whoever they want.. i assume hot girls and white frat boys with connections are doing well |

|
Date: April 25th, 2012 12:04 AM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard yeah that is what it seems like which to me is a lot..
ive interviewing for a THREE month fuckin temp job in the middle of no where and they are int 10 ppl and u have to have a second round with the GC.. fuking gay |

|
Date: April 25th, 2012 9:41 AM Author: Galvanic police squad 1 offer for 5 interviews would be a very good ratio.
it pisses me off the most when you interview and then never hear from them again. I've had this happen even on second/third round interviews where they have you meet the entire dept and do all kinds of other stupid crap and they still won't bother to take 15 seconds to type an email and tell you that you didn't get it. |

Date: April 25th, 2012 11:06 AM Author: vibrant whorehouse gay wizard OCI is diff. If you have good grades its pretty common to get more than 10 offers. Also, if your a good looking girl you get offers left and right.
I wish getting a job post OCI was like OCI. |
