I can't post this anywhere else since I have coworkers that could potentially ruin my escape. Haven't interviewed in close to 10 years, but I remember the process being a lot smoother. You vet people via phone calls and then just call them in to make sure they're not complete psychos. The whole process usually lasted about 2 weeks. This one has taken over a month of coordinating with the recruiter, talking to managers, face-to-face interview, etc. I got home, sent an email thanking them for the opportunity and got a response that they want to make me an offer.

Here's to not having to do this again for a good while...  chug

Congrats on convincing them you're not a psycho. Wink

I had a slightly different experience several years back when i got my current job.

One day in mid January 2012 I got pissed off at my job while I worked at IBM.
Took a day off because it snowed, and I didn't feel like driving 30 miles, in 5 mph idiots-on-your-bumper traffic.
I updated my resume because I was ready to find something, anything else.
Not 5 minutes after I finished updating my resume, and was about to post it on one of the many resume portals out there, my best friend (who just moved back from NYC to Denver 2 weeks earlier) called me up and told me that he needed a copy of my resume for this new company he had just joined. Needless to say, I sent him a copy.

The very next day, I had a phone call/email from the HR department, asking when would be a great time for an initial phone interview.
That was Wednesday.
Friday I was in their office, doing the in person interviews with 4 different teams, and about 12 different people.
After the interviews were over, I went to work at IBM, and just did what I always do, hate my job.

When I got home that Friday night from IBM, there was a job offer from them waiting for me on my answering machine.
My mouth dropped with how quickly the whole process took.

Apparently, when the HR team started looking around at my LinkedIn profile, they realized that I had previously worked with 4 of their current employees.
Once they start talking to their internal employees, my resume apparently got shoved to the top of the pile.

Started with the new company on Feb 1 2012, and then promptly got pneumonia 3 days later.

Luckily, I'm still here, and loving it.
Hope you enjoy your new job as much as I love mine (and I do a whole bunch).
Don't catch pneumonia, though. Highly overrated sickness.

if it doesn't kill you you are pretty disappointed until the antibiotics take effect. Wink

He speaks the truth...

Thanks guys for the potential congratz! I should be pretty local for a while, but I there's a high probability that I'll be visiting all over the east coast, so hide your women and children.

I've only had it three times. Not trying for any more.
