But you really think I will get an offer? I mean, I've come this far and had five very, very good references.

We shall see...

I don't like giving definitive answers because we've seen cases where people have gone through all of the stages you have, and then never heard anything again. But those instances are rare and if I had to bet, I'd bet that you will get favorable news. Companies usually only check references on the person they plan on making an offer to.

So I don't know, but it looks really good and fingers crossed.

Why does a job require more than one interview?

They might be stringing you along. Keep your options open until you actually walk in the door. You knows maybe you'll find an even better opportunity.

Thank you, MPowering. I will keep you all updated.

I know I did well in each interview and in my edit test, and my five references were all glowing and from very important people (one, again, whom he has worked with).
Just, the silence and waiting is killing me!

Pray for me, all!

Anyone else, before this thread closes?
Sorry, this is my very first thread here and am just curious to get as many perspectives as possible!

This thread isn't just going to close down because someone said it should.

That's how it seems to work too. Once you have one strong prospect, that's when others tend to roll in.

This is true. I was only being dramatic.
