Nah, sometimes we just have to produce full backup for everything that went into a report. Usually it is enough to cite the source but sometimes the steps in the middle are needed.

The second was a big presentation, for which I spent hours preparing. They also requested a rather lengthy professional references list prior to the second interview. I got word that at least some of my references had been contacted last week, and then a phone call from the job today. I'm thinking, "cool, here comes the offer."

I was right. It was an offer. For a third interview. I don't know how I'm going to manage to make it, given it's a three-hour round trip to each interview, and it has to be done during business hours. I've already taken 1.5 days off of work to make the other interviews, and I'd have to take anther half day to do this one. I really want this job, and I've gotten nothing but compliments along the way from them, so I feel pretty good about it. Still, this is getting ridiculous. It seems a little excessive to me to expect a working professional to make three interviews work. I have to call them back after five today and let them know when I can be there, and I have no idea how I'll manage to fit in another appointment.

My company is somewhat notorious for subjecting candidates to many rounds of interviews - the average is around 7 or 8 and I've heard of people going through more than a dozen rounds.

Anyway, good luck!

I am sure it is down to either you or the half-black half-mexican woman in a wheelchair.

Wasn't there a half-Indian lesbian in a wheelchair that got pushed down an elevator shaft during the Clinton administration? Or was that a movie?

Yeah, my last company made me go through four rounds of interviews, it seemed like overkill by the end. Fortunately both jobs were in the same city, so it way much easier to take off an hour or two of work at a time than multiple days to make all of the interviews.

I've never had a driver's license. Don't you get to see if you like the picture after they take it?

That seems like a total dick move. Just curious, what's the point? Weed out maneuver or are there legitimately 7, 8, or 12 groups of people that need to interview you?

Fuck if I know. The Senior VP of HR described it as a broken process, after telling us she'd gone through 19 rounds of interviews over 6 months.
