Yeah, I've also applyed for a bartender position since I'm in Cali I had my 1st interview over the phone ( I guess that was what that was) then went in for my Dept interview in late May, did the background check and last the drug test which was mailed to a hospital locaton near me. Last month I called CC and the rep told me that everything look good and that job offers will be going out the 2nd wk- mclose to the middle of sept. My status online also says OPEN, Blank after I took mt drug test. No change. Not sure if its suppose to. Some has said theirs was asaid active then blank then active again. I do know that the job is no-longer posted and around the time I my app. Status went blank was the same time the job was removed from the website. Maybe that has something to do it. Maybe when they stop accepting apps for that position the current canidates status goes black and if a canidate that was in the running didn't clear that spot becomes available again and shows active on the staus to everyone that is applying for the same position. Kinda leting everyone know that applications are STILl or not being excepted for that
position. I dunno maybe.

I do know that I'm going to call CC and see what my staus is tomorrow and see what they say.

It will generally be blank after your drug test at least from what I have encountered and from what others have said. Some people have had their status bounce around quite a bit but generally blank from what I can tell they haven't gotten to that dept or having narrowed down the candidates yet... I remained blank for over 2 months and when it changed to active I called. Thanks to the person who recommended that by the way I am sooo glad I called.

My first interview was done over the phone, they didn't want me to fly down for that but said I HAD to be present for the department interview. So I went to that and was interviewd by the bev manager at the Belliagio and he told me that I would come back for another interveiw in July/ August. And that I would be contacted as to when. When July came around I didn't hear anything so I contaced CC and the rep told me that I no longer needed to come in 4 another interview. That I should be contacted and evreything looks good and that no new is good news. ?? Then a week or so after that convo the background check guy contacted me and so on. Since then I've just been waiting like everyone else and called cc last month and was told AGAIN that everything looks good and that job offers go out in Sept and that I should be hearing somthing between the 2nd week- middle of Sept.

I've been reading this thread for a while now, so I figure, why not contribute.

I applied for a BOH culinary position early this year (Aria). I live a few thousand miles from Las Vegas, and it's my guess that is a reason that my experiences thus far have been slightly different with the hiring process.

About two weeks after my online application, I had a phone screening.

A little over a week after that, I received an e-mail inviting me to schedule the time for my department interview, which I scheduled for late March. Not only was this the best interview I have ever done, the chef who interviewed me made a point of telling me that I was the only person that answered every question correctly that was applying for this position so far.

I was told to make sure to frequently check my e-mail around the end of August/early September, as I would know by then if I was going to be hired.

The first week of July, I received a phone call, and was told that I made it to the next step in the hiring process. I was told that a drug test kit had been sent to a lab near my address. I thought this was great, although, they sent it to the wrong place.

This clerical misunderstanding continued for almost two months. Each time I spoke with someone on the phone, I was told, ok, you'll hear from us in a week. Each time, I waited for ten to twelve days, and then called them. Each time, I discovered that no one had taken note of the clerical error they made, and was told, ok, we'll get that straightened out, and you'll hear from us in a week.

Well finally, the drug test was scheduled for a location around 200 miles away (at the end of August), which was "sorry, that's the best we can do" which made little sense to me considering my location (which is adjacent to a major metropolitan area with multiple labs).

I currently work at a summer seasonal location, which is coming to an end soon. I had anticipated knowing by now if I'd be hired (since this is what I was originally told), but can not wait much longer on city center. The myriad opportunities that are becoming available to me due to the current time of year are very attractive. I find it very unfortuneate that I may have to take another position elsewhere, due to some apparent delay in their hiring process. I very much had looked forward to working for such a respectable company....but practicality demands that I don't put "all my eggs in one basket."

As far as my status has progressed: First time I checked it online was mid July, and it was open/blank. After I took the drug test (which I know I passed since I do not use drugs), my status changed to open/active. Several days ago, the same day "Joiboi" (or however it's spelled) announced in disbelief that his status changed to open/blank, mine did as well.

I'm sure the task the HR department has is substantial. I just wish things hadn't fallen this far behind schedule, since they are about to lose a very qualified candidate for a supervisory culinary position. I have received no further communication since the drug test. If I have to wait more than two more weeks, I'm going to have to reluctantly withdraw my application.

My waning optimism continues to be watered down with the prospect of moving to Las Vegas, becoming bound to an apartment lease, and then possibly being laid off in a town which doesn't seem to have many other opportunities at the moment. Even though I have a reputation for being a very hard worker, and actually overqualified for the position I've applied for, the fact that I'd still have to worry about "the chopping block" would be a level of anxiety that I would not want to have to worry about in an already high stress field.

So, you could say I'm a bit conflicted at this point regarding the City Center hiring process. I continue to hope for the best, but won't be surprised with the worst. Eh....c'est la vie, n'est pas?
