Well, as of yesterday the background checking is to commence.

As for the offer letter, the hiring manager intervened to by pass that as the HR person is on vacation! So now here we go with the BC.

As for the drug screen? Time will tell and I'm not holding my breath.

I am in week 5 since my face to face. This is going to be the longest drawn out process I've ever been involved in. Hopefully I will start before Labor Day!

and you get to post on C-D.

I am surprised companies allow for this long drawn out process. It's just plain nuts to take months to go from collecting resumes to having the interviews and then finally going through the checks and the offer portion.

That is the problem. Do employers realize this longer process is taxing on potential employees?
