How fast did your job offer come after interview?

I guess there must be something wrong with me.

1st job: interview day 1 morning, job offer day 2 morning
2nd job: interview at 9 or 10 in the morning, job offer at 2pm in the afternoon
3rd job: interview at 230pm, job offer at 3:45pm today

yea, I have been looking for a job for about a month. I am sure someone here have got job offer on the spot.
 
For some reason I'm generally the first to be interviewed, and when I am, they still have to go through the rest of their "first rounders". So it takes awhile.
 
1st job: Interview on Tuesday at 9am, offer on Thursday at noonish
Current job: 1st Interview in May, 2nd interview in September (with no communication in between) and offer made about 2 weeks later.
 
For my current job (graduate research assistant), the offer came about 1.5 weeks after the interview and about a month before I was actually accepted into the university.
 
when i got my last and current job, i interviewed on Monday night and got a call back Tuesday afternoon telling me I was hired. I didn't really want the job and I was waiting to hear from another one so I waited until like Friday to accept it.

Worst decision I ever made.

Now I can barely even find any jobs to apply for and rarely even land an interview.
 
Initial HR screening phone interview on a Friday.
Actual phone interview on the following Monday.
Job offer Tuesday.

Oddly I'm one of the few people where I work who never had to have an in person interview.
 
Last job:
  • Interview at 10:00
  • Received a call at 14:30(ish) with an offer - Negotiated daily rate as they were trying to undercut
  • Received a call at 16:30 with a revised offer and accepted
My contract is up on 18th December, so all being well it should get extended for another 6 months.
 
the HR guy who was taking me around after my 2 interviews basically let the cat out of the bag as we walked downstairs. I got a call from the HR office while I was in the lobby asking me to go online and fill out the paperwork when I got home, and scheduled a drug test too. I was really just a good fit for the position. I had no idea what the salary was like though until the letter came a few days later. 33% raise? Sign me up! This was nearly 10 years ago - still there.

Directly following the first interview I got. Since I was 16, I've had almost a 1:1 ratio of interviews to job offers. I do very well in interviews.
 
In 2006, i got a job offer, 10 minutes after i finished the call. At the end the , I asked the interviewer how i did and they said it was okay and they highlighted some weak points. so I was not feeling very comfortable.

When i was outside, i got a call and they asked me to join 2 days later. I was like wow..
 
Right after the interview. I've been offered quite a few jobs that went like this: "Mr. <name>, we've reviewed your consolidated statewide application for a math teacher, and we've looked at your resume. You can start Monday."
 
Job 1: Automatic due to high school internship program (had to have good grades etc.)
Job 2: Internship asked if I was returning next summer for actual salary.
Job 3: In-person interview, the HR lady called me before i had even left the parking lot following the interview asked if I wanted the job.
Job 4: My brother was leaving his co-op position, and his position was higher level than my Job 3 which is the same company. His boss asked me if I wanted his job, and I said "yes". No formal interview. I didn't even get a job offer. I just started work, and HR got my pay stuff all settled with a 15&#37; pay increase compared to Job 3.
Job 5: Over-the-phone interview, 1 week later, HR asked for me to fill out some paper work which would "speed things up" if I were to be extended an offer (Gov't job). 1 week in addition to that, over-the-phone offer.


If 2-3 weeks go by and you don't have a solid offer, you weren't meant to get the job (unless you were second on the list). IME.
