Have you looked for a job lately? It sometimes takes 3-4 months to get through a single hiring process. Three interviews is not unusual these days. Certainly you can and should aim to be in multiple processes at once but it takes time. And if you end up as a finalist but not selected you are back at the beginning trying to network and get yourself into other processes. Then once elected sometimes you have to wait for security clearances. [/quote]

True.  One thing I did was not rely on anything until I had the signed offer letter and all my contingencies were passed.  Until then, I continue to search, apply, and interview.  Hell one place I applied with first and never heard anything.  After a few weeks applied at another job that called me in right away, interviewed twice, and had a signed offer letter within a week.  Then #1 calls wanting to talk.  So I kept #1 open while on the path to starting with #2.  Ended up starting with #1 and then going to #2 after their long process for interviewing and hiring.[/quote]
