Given they have a two stage interview process it sounds like a formal process and so I wouldn't expect to hear back straight away. Likely got at least two people at 2nd interviews and they won't make a decision before both have been done but I'd expect to know within 24hours of the last person being interviewed. You will hear back given you got this far, and I'd expect to know next week. Might even get the nod this afternoon if you were the last.

I've narrowed down eternity to less than a week!

Back in the olden days, there were no CVs, no interviews, no vetting. You heard about a vacancy, went along and were told to start  next day or as soon as. I had 3 jobs in  a week once. Didn't like the first one, foreman was an arsehole in the second and the third I stayed two years. Too much malarkey these days. Employers definitely have the upper hand, it's ridiculous imo.

I,ve had two jobs in the last year, first one came about 6 weeks after I popped in and left my number current job week after my interview,

Yeah, it was different in the past, but it was far easier for an employer to get rid of an unsuitable employee.

These days it's almost impossible to sack someone, you'll end up at a tribunal or a court case and , win or lose,  it will cost you !

Good or bad ? I don't know, but if I was an employer, I'd want to be absolutely sure the guy I was hiring was right for the job !

Cheers.

thats why so many just use agency staff now, benefits of a full time employee with none of the hassle and they work harder thinking there may be a full time job at the end of it

Unless you`ve been employed for 12 months or more you will be very lucky to claim unfair dismissal.

Just been for a second interview at a company. Very informal this time round..

 

I take it a second interview is a positive thing but not quite in the bag just yet.

The question is gentlemen is how long can I expect to wait to here back.?

A second interview is always positive. Normally less than a week for a response afterwards.

Remember to ask for feedback (good and bad) regardless if you get the position or not. Never hurts to see yourself through another set of eyes and improve 

I got knocked back a few years ago for a job, the feedback from their HR was, I didn’t come across hungry enough. My response… I called the global sales director directly and pitched the cnut I was offered a job and negotiated a 15K raise on their offer.

Failure is the path to success mate!

I have noticed with the minimum wage going up some firms are finding it cheaper to sett folk on with a 3 month trial.
