How to conclude a callback interview
So, you have an interview with a string of partners. The first partner walks you to the next partner's door and hands you off. What do you say when you shake the first partner's hand before he/she leaves?
Do you ask for the job with the second partner waiting there?

I dunno. I just wore a pin which said, "Will work for money," and assumed they would get the point.Ofta3184 wrote:So, you have an interview with a string of partners.

Re: How to conclude a callback interview
You don't ask for the job. It's assumed. Thank then for their time and greet the next partner.

Re: How to conclude a callback interview
haha naw mayne, I've been doing the whole "thank you for your time" thing and it seems like they always wait there for a moment waiting for something else. Just making sure I am not missing anything important (haven't done a mock interview with OCS yet)Grizz wrote:You sound like you have ass burgers.

Re: How to conclude a callback interview
You've just taken up 20 minutes of his time. He was expecting the billing code to charge ".4 hours to interview, 1 hour to prep for interview and read resume, .5 hours to review interview notes, and .1 hours to walk candidate to next partner" on his timesheet.Ofta3184 wrote:haha naw mayne, I've been doing the whole "thank you for your time" thing and it seems like they always wait there for a moment waiting for something else.

Re: How to conclude a callback interview
Definitely make sure you don't leave without asking for the job.

"The cognitive ability of children with AS often allows them to articulate social norms in a laboratory context,[1] where they may be able to show a theoretical understanding of other people's emotions; however, they typically have difficulty acting on this knowledge in fluid, real-life situations.[5] People with AS may analyze and distill their observations of social interaction into rigid behavioral guidelines, and apply these rules in awkward ways, such as forced eye contact, resulting in a demeanor that appears rigid or socially naive."

Re: How to conclude a callback interview
Have to say I thought walking with the interviewer you just had through corridors and up/down elevators to the next interview was the most awkward part of the callback interview. Small-talk time. I'm sort of awkward in general though; YMMV.

Re: How to conclude a callback interview
I used that to prove my small-talk skills. Probably a mistake. If it was a fancy office, I would comment on how nice it was. If it had a good view, I'd ask about that. If it was in a good location, I'd comment on that. That worked until I ended up in a building with tiny offices, terrible view, and terrible location. All I had left was talking about the vaulted lobby. That failed miserably.goodolgil wrote:Have to say I thought walking with the interviewer you just had through corridors and up/down elevators to the next interview was the most awkward part of the callback interview.

These walks were where I cemented my offers by definitively proving I fit in with the firm through my superior conversational skills.goodolgil wrote:Have to say I thought walking with the interviewer you just had through corridors and up/down elevators to the next interview was the most awkward part of the callback interview.
