Job Interviews: My Current Economy of Transactions

Interview last week. "Permanent" job in financial industry. International company with a brand name on the US east coast. A new role being created by them. Commute within 30 minutes. Open house. Spoke with one of ten people I would be supervising. Very young. She asked questions from a checklist and wrote in the answers. Sent my thank you emails to her and the recruiting manager who was a no-show at the event. No response from them as yet.

Interview today. Contract job. Good company with a brand name. Health care industry. Short term 3 mths. Might be extended. Has taken a long time with repeated applications to get my foot in the door. Commute within 30 minutes.  Will speak with three project managers. Was advised by the recruiter to wear a suit and arrive 15 min early. Hah!

Interview Friday. "Permanent" job. Company in a formidable industry I have been in previously. Commute is 60 - 90 minutes. Will speak with 4 senior vice presidents.

Which is the more prepared of the three? Interested in the candidate?  Professional? Serious about the business?

Just thinking on things.

P.S. After a couple days....and another phone interview....looks like the contract job is the only one that might come through. Doesn't seem like there are any real jobs out there. Sad.
