Top 10 Job Interview Disasters

• It could be a good sign. The hiring manager (or whoever) may have been running late or they could be showing your husband around the place, letting him see what he might be doing and stuff.
  
  My 2 1/2 year old daughter doesn't normally take naps anymore. If we have to get up early and go somewhere she might fall asleep in the car on the way home but if we're home all day, she doesn't nap. I can't remember the last time she did LOL.


• It could be good or bad. If he's still in it, that could be good, but if he's not and he's just out running errands... I dunno. I think the average interview is about 30 minutes.
  
  PQ: It varies... she's only 2 and a half but doesn't really take naps anymore. If she does, it's around 3, honestly. A bit late for my liking, but it's when she falls asleep. I guess I don't mind since she goes to bed at 8:30p even when she DOES nap.


• I have been into TONS of interviews and I've done TONS of interviews. An interview can last between 10 minutes to a couple of hours, IMO. He could possibly be waiting to start the interview if someone was running longer in a previous interview or he could be in the interview impressing their socks off their feet. You won't know until you hear from him. Good luck to you both!!
  
  PQ: My son naps for two hours from 11:50 to about 1:50 (times vary, but normally they are the same)


• Well, from my own experience it normally takes about 15 to 20 min. But, it can take longer if the interviewer is interested in the interviewee. It is also possible that the interviewee got asked to start working that same day. GOOD Luck & GOD BLESS


• The interview doesn't take that long, but maybe theyre making him wait and he doesn't want to be on his phone.
  I've only had a couple I think it took like 30 mins? One 15 mins.. It depends what kind of job I guess.
  
  
  BQ: Riley is falling sleep right now is 12:26 pm here..


• Any interview beyond an entry level position takes at minimum an hour, and an interview that is going well I'd expect to take 2 hours or more.
  
  My kids no longer nap. The 3 year old has "quiet time" at daycare, but she doesn't sleep during that time period.


• This seems like a long interview. But the more they talk to you, the more likely you can sell yourself. Yes, it's probably a good sign.


• I'd say that's a good sign...maybe they're going over job specifics or something. Good luck to him.
  
  PQ: Um...it varies day by day. Sometimes 11, sometimes 1230-1.


• Depends on how well you're doing :)BQ- She usually take her first nap around 11am.


• Most job interviews take less than 30 minutes. Maybe its a good sign!
  
  PQ: My daughter is 8 and doesn't take naps anymore.


• I've seen my boss interview people anywhere from 3 to 7 hrs. That includes a lunch and a tour of the plant.


• Longer interviews are a good sign!


• It can take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on the position and the wait.
  
  You obviously never had an interview before...
