Do you have any doubts you wouldn't?

@PhoenixPhail I didn't until now. I'm supposed to start Monday, and we still haven't heard anything back. It's taking a very long time according to HR.
@perceptivei I think that's more of a better sign than a bad one.

@PhoenixPhail Why do you say that?
@perceptivei To me, it means they might be still in the process of considering. If there were something unacceptable, I think they would dismiss you much sooner.

@PhoenixPhail I understand that. However, the HR lady said it's normally a very quick process. She's been asking me questions about my history to see if there's anything there that might be holding me back. So, the fact that it is taking so long signals bad to me. Plus, I'm supposed to start Monday! That's my biggest concern. I know it should come back fine, but if it isn't complete by Monday, they will have to go with someone else.
@perceptivei Oh, I see. Well, good luck with it. I hope it works out for you.

@PhoenixPhail Thanks. Me, too.
