arrr... I wouldn't trust a word from those HR people.
If those words come from someone who is "able" to interview you and is directly linked to the operation (i.e. chief engineer, project manager), then I would take the words lor.
For some HR people, their responsibility is to find the best candidate for the company. However, when they fly all the way to meet you doesn't mean he/she has super high interest in you. To fly over to see someone, the 1st objective is to show the company that he/she is working hard not searching locally only. Plus, the person get the benefit to travel for fun (may be).
But don't worry, that's just my opinion towards the situation. Whether you are their frist prospect or not, I can't tell, but for sure they are interested in your qualification, which matters the most. When my company hire people, we care about the qualification and experience highlight the most.
In most industry, it is hard to hire good people now. So don't worrry. There are lots of opportunities out there at the moment
The whole interview with this company make me feel like I"m day dreaming...... they were like quick action that I quickly gone through their 3 interview within a week.......so hot that all the sudden, it's quiet down without any notice........
It just so strange...., the so called Financial manager (their accounting based in Montreal) and the HR manager dun seems to be a talker at all.
80% of the interview, they just sit there and wait for me to sell myself to them. They spend probably 5-10 minutes to ask me question and the rest of the time, they keep asking "if there anything else you want to ask" or "if there is anything else you want to tell me" for sooooo many times..........
and on my 2nd round, I don't think I done good at all...... then they select me for the 3rd one...and give me a feeling that is the final one............. ( I can't recall now.. it was the office manager who done 80% of the talking.... just a old gentleman keep telling how great their company is and how life change without notice...... )
I had no experience that deal with international company like that before. When I said international, it mean they have office globally, including HK regional office lor...
So I'm not sure if it's because they are still selecting candidate or big company tend to do things slow
Twin,
until the day that you get a contract appointment from the new company, don't quit your job. no matter how promising the interviewer make it seem like, they might turn you down last second.
I'm quitting not because of this interview la.
So many things had happened lately, and that's really way too much. I can only feel uncertainty and mess in this office lately.
Everyday has something new happening and with the key employee away for meeting for two weeks and new management and new owner, everything seems to be out of control.....
ai....., well, my case is different I guess? If I can't find a job sometimes soon, I would focus on education since it's my first priority.
i think if you have a backup plan and no need to worry (financially), then why not quit your job if you are so unhappy. Don't think too much about the job offer from Montreal as they haven't proved themselves to be a company you can trust yet. Just make sure you know what you're going to do once you quit. If you can find a second job right away, then do so. If you want to enrich yourself educationally and can afford it, why not take this time off and study what you want?
Just make sure you have a plan and don't depend on the new company until they have a contract for you.
