-I applied to couple of places YESTERDAY.
-One is very important for my career.Others are avarage law firms.
-One of the smaller law firms called me to schedule an interview for TOMORROW
-I'm still waiting for an answer from the big one.
How can I make sure they wait for at least few weeks before my spot in the firm is finalized?
Tips to Ace Your Insurance Job Interview
Recommended Answer:
You can't. You're asking to work for them at their pleasure, not the other way around. You seem to have the whole employer/employee relationship backwards in your head.
A Job Interview Without Cold Sweats
- Even though you have applied to several places yesterday, there is no guarantee that any of these places will hire you period;;;;;; Granted, getting an interview is great, since most people applying will not even get that.
My husband who retired after 40 years practicing law, wrote a glowing reference letter, talked to several other lawyers on behalf of his secretary and it still took her 3 months to find another job in a law firm. So she had everything in her favor going in vs other candidates.
Most companies today, may have 2 or 3 interviews before they hire anyone. The odds are that in all the places you applied to, there could be up to 100 other people who applied also and would be in the mix of being considered.
Your best option is to take the 1st one that offers you a job. Then after you are hired, go after the one that you really want, which might take 6 months or a year before another opportunity comes up.
You are assuming that all the places you applied for will offer you a job, which is doubtful. The competition is fierce out there and this is an employer's market.
good luck - You can't. You're looking for employment, you can't tell an employer to wait for a decision as there are dozens of other people who have probably been considered for the position already. If you get the offer, take it! Do not count on this other law firm until you have received an offer.
