is this an appropriate e-mail to send to HR?
On 8/22, I interviewed for a position with a company that I would love to work for. The interview went well and on 9/8, they asked me in for a second interview. That interview also went well and I'm waiting to be scheduled for the third and final interview. This third interview is with the CEO and the CFO and the HR recruiter who had been arranging everything for me told me on Friday that she hopes to have something arranged by Monday (yesterday 9/26) and "Don't worry. There aren't any more candidates. You're the only one." This is a great sign and I'm really happy about that news, because I really want this job.
However, it isn't a tiny company (10,000+ employees) and I know that the hold up has been the availability of the executive officers. (I had read in several articles in the WSJ, the New York Times and other trade publications that the CEO insists on meeting Every. Single. Employee. that works in the corporate HQ, no exceptions).
That being said, I've been contacted by several recruiters for contract positions in the area and being unemployed, I can't afford to be overly choosy. But I'd rather have a permanent position established versus a contract position (the contracts range from 3 to 9 months, with one possible contract being 12).
So I've crafted this e-mail - do you think this is appropriate to send to the recruiter who has been organizing the interviews:
Hi Recruiter,
I just had a thought - would it be easier to meet
with Mr. CEO and Mr. CFO early morning or after-hours in the
evening? If they are open to that, it might make it easier. My
schedule is pretty easy to work around, so I can make adjustments as
needed.
I have had some more companies contact me, but the position at X-Company is the one that interests me the most (and the one I like the
most!), so I'd like to give as much preference to you as possible.
Thanks,
roar
Re: is this an appropriate e-mail to send to HR?
Thanks. When I was going through the first and second interviews, I was asked if I was in contact with other companies, and at the time I had just had preliminary interviews, but nothing concrete. It's only been a few weeks that I've been unemployed, and realize that a month isn't the worst wait for a job from start to finish, but it feels like waiting for molasses to pour in the dead of winter.
I'll leave it at the first paragraph and formalize the wording.
