Live blogging my JERB application process with MEGA CORP
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 14th, 2015 6:53 PM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke The modern job application process is fucking horrible and you bros will be going through it with me.
I work at mega corp and I applied ~2 weeks ago to another mega corp. the job based on glass door is ~20% higher pay (from 96K now to 120K) and a step up on the corp ladder. I'm between 70-85% objectively qualified.
Within 3 days of applying I got an email from HR. 3 days after that I interviewed w HR by phone. A week after that I interviewed with what would be my manager. It went very well.
So what the fuck is the point of this thread?
Not only am I supposed to interview with her boss next week, I also have to interview with her boss' boss two weeks from now. Why the fuck is this so absurdly painful?

Date: October 14th, 2015 7:07 PM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke Told them 101, so basically a 5K exaggeration. Glass door actually says 135K for this job, but I have a friend in HR at this company and she said the mid point for this job is 115K so I told them "120K would make this an easy decision."

Date: October 14th, 2015 7:10 PM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke She told me it was between me and an internal candidate but that if I did well with her boss I had a "very good shot." I think she preferred me over the internal candidate but she could have just been blowing smoke up my ass.
Also I looked at her LinkedIn and she is a year younger than me and would be my boss. Lol at my pathetic career.

Date: October 28th, 2015 1:19 PM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke Final interview today with the person would be my boss's boss's boss. We had a good conversation but he did say he was concerned I was too senior for this role and he had a couple other more senior positions he might like me for. Said I had a nice presence about me for how young I was. Unsure if he was serious or letting me down easy.
I'm supposed to know something by Friday. |

LOL, it's stuff like this that always has me scratching my head. After reading your resume, an HR screen, and multiple interviews being "too senior" is why they don't want to hire you? Doesn't it seem like this could have been established within 5 - 10 minutes after a close read of your resume? |

|
Date: November 2nd, 2015 11:49 AM Author: light temple place of business Agreed.
Hopefully I'll never have to go through a process like the OP's ever again. But, if I did, I'd love to turn around the interview and ask the questions posed in my previous post. |

Date: November 2nd, 2015 11:49 AM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke This is MEGA CORP. you know this company and it is routinely cited as one of the better run companies in its industry.

Date: November 2nd, 2015 11:33 AM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke As I was leaving last Wednesday they said the 3 of them were going to discuss it and make a decision by Friday. I haven't heard anything. Sounds like DING FAG to me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3016999&forum_id=2#29093445) |
|
Date: November 2nd, 2015 11:39 AM Author: Sinister turdskin This hiring process is itself a bad sign. Beware.
The boss' boss' boss doesn't have enough confidence in their subordinates' word to let them make a hiring decision. No, they have to personally stick their nose in it and waste additional time and effort. |
|
Date: November 2nd, 2015 11:51 AM Author: Brindle rigpig yarmulke I would normally agree but the superboss recently accepted his position from a competitor. He asked me about the hiring process and he complained about it as well.
My guess is they offered it to the internal candidate and are waiting for them to accept before I'm dinged. |

However today they emailed me and said they were still interested in me for a different position, as I alluded to in my Oct 28th post.
Odd case. |
