[quote=Anonymous]Very longtime HM here - starting year 12 this summer.  I have learned that if I don't click and fall into "easy conversation" with someone I am interviewing, then it's not a good fit.  So either our first interviews last 10 min (not a good fit, take 10 min to try to coax someone into comfort) or an hour.  The second interview, only with someone I clicked with the first time, is more structured and probably 30-45 min.  Third interview is with DH and then one of the children, with me facilitating the hello/change to the next person/goodbye.  Last is with the other child who the AP doesn't care for - just for them to be comfortable with the other but it's not really an interview.  The final is my asking to match.  Along the way, at the end of each skype or facetime interview, I ask the AP to consider how the convo went and to let me know if they would like to continue in the matching process. I do the same thinking before scheduling the next interview.

Being very quick with the first interview means that I waste less time on interviews now than i used to.  Good luck, OP.[/quote]
