If you were invited for a third job interview, would you go? UPDATE: THIRD INTERVIEW NEXT WEEK VIA ZOOM

[DonRe]

Ive been interviewing lately and 3 is to be the standard. First a zoom one with HR. Then another with the dept head and maybe coworkers. Then a 3rd with all 3 plus maybe the ceo/cfo.

The 3rd one is so they can see you can dress alright and arent reading off from notes when they ask you technical questions.

I think past that is overkill.

It is a job in finance law which I wanna get into and pay is better too.

Put it this way, I will get paid more than what I get in my current role even though I have years of work experience here.

Might be worth it though if it's in a field/price range you want. Sometimes you gotta take the risk even though it's a pain. The gain would be worth it in the end.

3 is normal for a decent paying job. HR/ Recrutier screen then hiring manager then executive. If you get to the executive interview you normally got the job 90% of the time cause the execs normally defer to the hiring manager decision.

Im in tech so I had 6 interviews for my current gig.

They wouldn't keep spending time if they weren't interested.

Always remember that

You want this job but are unwilling to take some time off to go to a final interview? You obviously don’t want the job. Company will focus on people who want the job.

I want the job but a 3rd interview is unheard of for a job in this field.

Tbh, I thought the initial Zoom interview itself was enough for them to know what kind of nikka they were going to be dealing with.

I suck at interviews too. Always start mumbling when I get put under pressure.

Managed to do well by getting this far. I was hoping the second interview would be the end of my ordeal but no. Dont know what I am gonna say in a third interview

They not paying for your flight?

What's the field? I don't understand bailing now after going through 2 rounds.

"Unheard of" goes out the window when things get more competitive.

The HR people do love their games.

Don't be nervous job interview aint nothing but a conversation. Start off by trying to steer the conversation into something that's not about the job, i know it sounds weird and stupid but it works, it'll ease you and relax them.
I did 2 interviews last week and for both of them the first 5 mins was us talking about what shows we watching on TV (I work in TV so it was relatable), another zoom interview I started off by talking about how I just had to wait for 2 hours to get my oil changed cause I was in the car. you're in law find a big law story going on and when they ask you how you're doing say something to the effect of "im doing well been keeping up with ______ case, its crazy" and it should ease the tension cause they've been doing a ton of interviews and they tired of talking about the same shyt too.
If you're a funny guy lean into that within the interview, not to the level they think you're a clown, but tell your answers in a lighter way.
Make them like you. Folks wanna work with people they like more than anything.

my job pretty bad...the most we've done is pay for their gas

and no relocation bonus for the few people we got outta state/country

Some roles have a multi-stage process

If you really want the job then go to the third interview

Is this the real reason you don't want a 3rd interview?

Have sought out professional services that you can practice with?

 

[Geek Nasty]

Definitely go. We do 3 rounds of interviews. Normally the 2nd 2 are on site though same day.
