Well...things might not work out so perfectly for the new job after all.

But, it's really too early to tell.

The problem is that I'm getting not quite honest vibes from the potential employer now, which worries me considering I've been dealing with them from my current employer for some time. Makes me kind of leery, you know? Go with new dishonest vibes? Stay with old, familiar dishonst vibes? Not a great choice.

Yesterday, the plan was for me to go to lunch with the Controller to meet the president tomorrow and get the job offer there.

This morning, it changed to me going to lunch with the Controller to meet the rest of the accounting department. I wouldn't get the job offer there. That would come later. The HR lady would draw it up and send it to the agency who would send it to me.

Tonight, it's changed to needing a background check (which is standard...the company I work for now does them) first.

They still want me to take two hours off work tomorrow for lunch. And, they still want me to give them a day for free (take it off at the expense of my current job) next week to sit and discuss the cost accounting system with the person who created it.

So, I e-mailed the agency again and I explained to her that I already had to get dressed for the Tuesday interview at work and people saw me in make-up and a business suit (didn't tell her that part), that I took yesterday off for interviews. Now, two hours tomorrow and a day next week might just lose me my current job and I would be without income until the background check goes through.

Where I work now, it can take anywhere from one week to more for a background check to be completed.

So, I'm concerned.

No solution tonight, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Booooooo!

I'm sorry, sis. Hopefully, this is just the universe's way of telling you to hang on for something better.

hmm

Perhaps the person who initially interviewed you was slightly overzealous?

Will keep praying on the situation hon, hang in there.

they should not be having you sit down to discuss their systems for a full day, till after they've given you an offer in writing.

just my two cents.

This sounds like the company in question is trying for a win-win situation. Even if they don't employ you, they'll still have your opinion and advice on their systems. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but something similar happened to me once, and it became clear they wanted inside info on my old company, more than they wanted me.

Good luck, I hope it's all sorted out soon :)

Well crap. However, since you got one quick and great nibble, you'll get a splendid one soon.

Hang in there and good luck!

They're messing you about, and it might not be what they planned to do, but the agency should be making sure they they don't.

I hope it all gets resolved for your benefit today :)
