Hi Abby. I wanted to get some insight into a situation I have going on with a job offer. Thanks to your videos, I was able to land an interview and got offered the job. First verbal, then in an email. I now await for the letter of offer. Just to put things into perspective, I got this job through a recruitment agency about a month ago. I feel the process had been too long. He responded to my query on where everything is now on Friday, and he said he called the school and they have my template for my offer letter which they are finalising now. Now Monday has come and gone and still have nothing. What should I do?

[stalinsanjeev]

Thank you this helped in my preparation that questions i got were :

1.When can you start working ?
2.What is your expected salary ?
3.Challenging projects? / What project or accomplishment are you most proud of?
4.Describe yourself in 3 words
5.Tell me, in your own words and through your research, what does the company do?
6.Tell me about what intrigues you most about this particular position?
7.Why did you apply for the job ?
8.Do you have any questions for me ?

Not the exact verbatim on questions but basically the same.

thank you for your advice I have an interview 2maro

How would you know if you're booked for the phone screening or phone interview? So far, every interview that I went to, followed what I thought was a phone screening. What I'm trying to say, is there a way to know ahead of time if you're being scheduled for phone screening or phone interview? Every time I was asked when I'm available for the phone screening but the content varied from organization to organization
