Summer hopefuls talk here.... good luck to us all!!! :redbeathe
hey thanks for starting the FB group, I just joined, too!!! so awesome.
I just got a 'soft offer' on friday, and I haven't heard back from the UD or HR yet about start date or any other specifics. I JUST got an email asking me to interview for another job this friday, and I have another interview scheduled on monday. I don't want to cancel the interviews until I know FOR SURE that the UCLA job is secure. I've had friends who were offered jobs over the telephone and then it was taken back. then there's the whole 'budget' thing, and Ive been burned with that before. Anyone hear from HR or have any advice on that?
Allie58D--you can't do 'livescan' fingerprint in NY state? there must be a way... Of course, I just went to the security/police station on my college campus, and this administrative assistant did all the live scan fingerprinting right there! So it doesn't seem too complicated. And, I bet it's a national company (can't imagine it's just local!). btw, cali BRN is IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of by email or phone. I had professors suggest to just drive to sacramento and walk into the office, but I've had luck by just waiting on telephone hold for 45 min. the paperwork is pretty straightforward, I would just do it asap.
ok, thanks for the community everyone!
What is a soft offer? Is anything offered over the telephone considered to be a soft offer?
actually, i dont know either! i was just echoing what 'fullofmox' wrote... maybe (s)he can tell us?! thanks!
I just assume it meant telephone offer? because it feels pretty 'soft' until I see it on paper!
