I got interviewed yesterday by the district manager. He asked a lot of good critical questions and directly questioned my abilities to be able to handle the job based on my experiences instead of beating around the bush or being vague.
One of the questions was where I see myself in 3-5 years.
I am hoping to be able to go after a master's degree after two to three years of work and this job would be key for me to be able to gain the professional leadership experience I yearn for.
Also, as soon as this question came up I understood that this manager is hoping to be able to find someone who is willing to stay in this position for at least three to five years.
Since I understood his needs and did not want to be selfish about only my needs for the job, I decided not to lie and straight up tell him I'm hoping to be able to apply for grad school after two to three years but this job opportunity is very important for the career path I see myself taking in three to five years and I am ambitious in being able to provide the company with as much productivity and efficiency as possible.
After the interview I talked about it with friends and they all told me I should have lied and made it sound like I intend to stay for at least five years and later on tell them I changed my mind and am hoping to go to grad school.
I felt that this would be unfair for the team I would be working with. I would be stealing the opportunity for the district manager to select another good candidate who actually is available for at least five years.
I thought that the hiring team should make their decision on whether they want to take the risk with me or not while being fully informed, so that if I do get hired and have to quit later on, the trust between me and the team would not be damaged.
His reaction to my answer was not too bad, he could have shut down the interview as quickly as possible and skim through questions then tell me "we'll be in touch," but his response was that this job opportunity and this brand could definitely be a good starting step for me before I head to graduate school and he shared how he was able to begin at an entry-level position in this company many years ago he and moved up the ladder through networking and diligence. He asked about my salary expectations.
The interview lasted for an hour and towards the end of it the district manager told me to turn in my list of professional references to the general manager and told me that he still has a couple more candidates to interview but that he would need the list of references once he's done with all of the final interviews.
I turned in the list about two hours after the interview as soon as I got replies back from all of my references that they are okay with their information being shared with this company.
I titled the email as "[(Job Position) Interview - (My name)] Professional Reference" and the general manager gave no reply yet.
Usually after each step they contacted me one day after the application/interview in the evening.
However, none of my references have been contacted yet and I am not sure if this is because the email I sent got filed as spam or if they simply did not select me for the job and they're formulating a rejection email.
I am looking at other job opportunities now, but I am not sure if I should send a follow up email and when I should send one.
