[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you need to be freaking out. I don't think it's common for a job to be funded, listed, have a series of interviews, offer someone a job and then fall through for non background investigation related purposes. That 60 percent number included people who failed background or had just gotten tired of waiting and said "f--- it," and took another job. 
HR is the group that sends out the tentative offer. They won't send it out if you're not qualified. In the instance of the job I just took, they wanted to hire me, but HR squawked that my resume didn't match the description in the listing. My supervisor-to-be just had me send a tweaked resume. If you got a tentative offer HR has approved you.

I think it's unlikely that your job will fall through. But what I think people are saying is that selling a house and moving cross country and buying another house is a big gamble on an offer that is labeled "tentative."  The risk may be small, but on the one percent chance it goes bad, you're really screwed with no
Recourse. [/quote]

Thanks, I feel better.  I live in DC so no move here - I just want it to come through![/quote]
