Job interviews
Is it common for job interviews to have a 3rd stage? My interview is for a it role (not to technical) I've passed the phone interview, passed the 2nd interview and now have a 3rd interview?? What's the point of a 3rd interview?(also it's booked for 530pm WTF)
In England at the most there would be a phone interview and a face to face and that would be it. |
Re: Job interviews
Is HR involved in that one perhaps?

Re: Job interviews
Not uncommon to have three interviews (or more). Depending on the role, company and industry of course.

Re: Job interviews
Not uncommon at all, often in our company a third interview is more of a meet and greet with the team but each company is different.

Re: Job interviews
I had seven interviews (and a couple of rounds of psychometric testing) for one job I didn't get. I think I had five for the one I'm currently in. Conversely for another job the only interview was a chat over a couple of pints.
It depends ;) |

WTF, you're not in England and if you continue the "in England we do it this way" routine someone will tell you to FO back to there, perhaps after they punch out your lights.
To be fair to sanjuk, he was referencing what he experienced as the norm in England. He wasn't suggesting that it should be done that way. |

Re: Job interviews
Two for my job.
First was with the COO and then the 2nd was a round table with about 6 staff (which is about half the company!) |
Re: Job interviews
I do nothing but unskilled, entry level work, and sometimes have 2-3 interviews.
I know someone who got hired at Target in Canada, entry level cashier job, and had 3 interviews before being hired. My last job (entry level non-skilled) had 2 interviews. First one was with the department manager, then the second one was with the operations manager. |

Re: Job interviews
Each employer has their way of doing things or indeed their HR department has its way of doing things. I do think it is unusual as every company has it's way and if you want to work for that company you follow the process.
Some jobs in the UK I have had one interview and secured a position and some I have had two interviews and then secured the job. Im not fussed how many interviews as long as the end result is the same. |

At one place I worked they interviewed a colleague for an IT position 3 or 4 times. Each successive interview was with someone higher up the chain - the last one with the CEO. I think all these interviews are excessive but you have to play the game.

My record is three phone interviews (30 mins each), and then eight in-person (45 mins each). The in-person ones were all done in the one day, though.
