Interview Details I applied online, 3 wks later my application status changed to "under hiring manager review" on their website. 2 more wks later I got a call for an interview for another 2 wks later. That was 6 wks ago and never heard back from anyone. So a total of 14 wks. My application still says "under hiring manager review'.

It was a shot interview process of around 20-25 minutes with questions on your experience in contracts. However, they required someone with more specific experience in healthcare industry. My resume never displayed experience in healthcare but was called...dont know why?

The process lasted about seven weeks and involved intensive questioning concerning management style, experience, sales strategy, grass roots efforts, and ethical considerations.

Negotiation Details – Very easy to work through

Interview Details I applied online via their website. A few months passes and I didn't hear anything, so I assumed they weren't interested. Then a recruiter emailed me and said my would-be boss wanted to do a phone interview. I had pretty much forgotten I even applied, so I was thrilled.

First I had a 30 minute phone interview. Basic and typical, but really good. Then they asked me to come in for a full day of interviews -- they just gave me a day the next week and told me I needed to be there from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. I was sort of taken aback, since this is short notice, and I had a full-time job that I couldn't just leave whenever. But, I wanted this job a lot, so I made it work.

I guess I made it to the next round, because then they had be do phone interviews with even MORE people over the phone. It was annoying though because they once again just gave me a date and set up three interviews back to back. Even though they were on the phone, I still had to leave my office for a total of three hours to take them.

Then I was called into a final round of interviews with the same group of people I met the first time. It seemed silly because most of the people just flat out said to me, "Well, I feel like I know everything I need to about you..." and we just tried to make small talk to fill the time.

I had a final phone call with my would-be supervisor after that, and she told me they would decide by the end of the week. Three weeks passed -- and then I got a form email saying I wasn't selected. I felt that with as much time I put into the process, I should have at least gotten a feedback email from the hiring manager saying why I wasn't a fit or how I could have improved.

Interview Details Research the company to respond to pre-employment questions when submitting. Try to find a way to tie in any relevant work experience to match, as you are given points based on your answers. Only top 10% of candidates are forwarded to the hiring manager so you should review the job posting carefully and make sure you display your relevant experience using the same verbiage. Google any terms that are not familar to you, it may be an skill you have, but by different terminology. Interview are typically conducted with behavioral interview questions. Listen carefully and be sure to offer specific details in your responses. Don't be afraid to ask that the question be repeated or to ask that a question be skipped

Negotiation Details – External candidates should always counter offer because you may be offered the starting pay of the position, which is typically less than the median rate for that job level. So asking for about 10-15% more is beneficial. Internal candidates can only increase 17% from one job to the next. If the position is a significant increase from your current job, you may not be able to negotiate due to the internal policy.
