[quote=Anonymous]It depends on how fast you are trying to go through the process.  If I don't get a message from a family within 3 days after submitting an application, I move on.  I've had a couple families that wanted to drag out the process for three months.  With one family, it was fine, they kept me informed as they moved through the steps for weeding people out and interviewing, I think I either got a text, email or quick call once a week, just as an update, then they let me know that I was the back-up choice to their top candidate; that was fine, they knew I was interviewing with other families at the same time.  The other family expected that all candidates would have open availability to interview with them on their schedule (at first she wanted to schedule for either 5am or 11pm...), they didn't want to provide any updates on where they were with the process, nor provide me with any information as to how long the process would take; I informed them that one of my main concerns with NF is communication, and I obviously wouldn't be a good fit for their family.

On the other hand, I'm leery of anyone that wants to skip a background check solely due to time concerns.  Also, it raises red flags for me if the family wants to skip an interview (I'm fine with phone, skype and/or in-person), to not have a trial period and yet doesn't want a contract for at least a month.[/quote]
