Hello. I really want to get hired at the VA hospital in Long Beach, CA and frankly I'm getting anxious. The wait game is getting me all twisted. I recently interviewed almost a month ago and I have not heard back. I called HR and they just said they have not heard back from the hiring managers and added that managers probably have not made a decision yet. I realize this is the VA and a month may not be too long of a wait but is it? As days pass without a call I feel like I didn't get selected. I thought the interview went fairly well. They hit me with couple of zingers that I didn't have the best replies for but I felt they were receptive and engaging with me. At the end of the interview one of the manger said I did well - as to if that was just being nice or I really did, well who really knows. The interview initially started with one nurse manager then after couple of questions, she invited two other managers to continue the interview. Is this a sign? Maybe it was a screening process and if they bring in the other managers then its a positive thing. For those who work for the VA or is familiar with their ways I would love to hear from you!

Hello Deliverator... I was recently interviewed with the SCI unit at LBVA. Initially it was with one nurse manager then she brought two additional managers to continue the interview. Its been two weeks since and I'm anxious to hear back. I was told that HR would contact me to get my approval to contact my references which also includes my immediate supervisor of my current employment. I was hoping to hear from them by now but have not. With two weeks gone by should I assume I was not selected?
