Well, those of you who read my last thread, I didn't get the job. :/ But, on the flip side, I did hear from another NM at the same hospital and had another opportunity to interview...in a specialty that I wanted from the start! The interview was relatively short, only 20 minutes, so I left thinking I might have been a "quota" interview. But then HR called me on my drive home to say the manager wanted to move to the next steps with background and references! I am trying not to get too excited since I've been on 3 interviews over the past year with no offers, but the references/background step has me excited again anyway. Any insight? I know references/background doesn't necessarily mean I've got the job, but I have yet to get to this point with my last three interviews. Maybe four is my magic number because I definitely felt more confident in this one...possibly because the past three have led to no job offer I don't go in expecting much but still don't have any negativity (at least in the interview haha)
Insight?
ETA: If anyone remembers how long reference/background checks took in their experience with their hospital/facility, please share. The waiting is driving me crazy!
