The Second Interview

Xyro

I have a question for all of you who have been lucky enough to get that second interview.

When did you know you would get a second interview? Was it as soon as you left the first interview or was it at a later date?

It depends on the company. Ive had a few where I didn't know for weeks, others I had lined up right after the first interview. All depends on the company's schedule.

It all depends on how fast the company needs the position filled (or how fast the HR division is..) so many factors..

As I would agree that it does depend on the situation, I was recently lucky enough to have the HR rep pull me aside while leaving the first interview and tell me that the interviewer liked me and that the chances were good that I would be back a second time. I was called back the next day and asked to come in again. The “big wigs” in the second interview were much less candid however and much harder to read, as we speak I sit on egg shells waiting for the call…

Thank you everyone. I see now that it is a variable, ok.

when i got a 2nd interview that had let my recruiter know by the end of the day when I had my interview at around 1, however it was a 3 process interview and I didnt get the third one because one of the interviewer's kept probing me questions regarding how to troubleshoot a pc not booting up (doing help desk work we didn't get to do this that much)

i usually try and ask in the interview what the interview process is like, most places are usually arent hesitant to give you information

This is a great idea and also coincides with another issue I have during interviews which is coming up with questions to ask.
