For my latest job, I was hired on the spot. Day of my interview, I wound up filling out paper work. My last job took 3 interviews and about 2 weeks for everything to be a go. How much of an ordeal was it to secure your latest position? Was it immediate....or did you have to keep coming back and waiting for a final word?

Past few jobs I've held, I've always been hired the same day I was interviewed.

Just started looking for something new and improved. Have a telephone interview today.

They've all been the same day that I can recall.

Aside from the training, about 2 weeks.

I was hired the same day.

After two interviews, it took about a week for me to get hired, and another two to actually start working.

A month, at least. Government jobs never hire on the spot, at least not where I work.

I'd been job searching for six months, and my unemployment had just run out when I was offered the job. Ironic thing about it, is that two other employers I had interviewed with had offered me jobs within days afterwards. And those two sounded like much more interesting jobs but one has since gone out of business.

well i put in the application in june got called in for interview, drug test, and fingerprinting in oct... then started work a month later--- all for a temp job---but i worked that temp job for 2yrs... then i took the written exam... and it took 8mos from the time of the exam to get the interview, then two months from interview to start.

It took about two weeks with my current job, because I listed that my future husband worked there first. He lasted another three months-and by the grace of God-I'm still there!
