Thanks. I haven't taken a passive approach. I was told of my job elimination at the beginning of the year and have been actively looking and applying. Have had business lunches with a few prospective employers. I've been contacted by a headhunter, etc. However, my severance package and bonus payments are very substantial. 20 years on the job will do that for you. Because of that, I have the luxury to be very selective in what jobs I apply for. I will also get internal placement assistance with my current employer in a few weeks.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, but I've got that covered pretty well. I was just curiious about this particular job and if the delay would fit in with what others have experienced.

Knowing this tidbit then you are in a much better situation than others to say the least. During college I was advised to find my employment for after graduation during my junior year or first semester of senior year. That timeline has a range of 6-18 months in advance of graduating college. The hiring process very much differs from company to company and considering you have 20 years of experience padding your resume, the position you are hiring for might require extra time and consideration before the position is filled.

The hiring process for the company I am at took all of three weeks from initial contact to employment. This has been my only position out of college and from what I have seen since coming on board, we continue to have a fast paced hiring process. I believe that fits in line with the fact there is so much turnover due to the competitive nature of my field.
