Would you cancel this upcoming interview and stop applying?

[Ethicaldebacle]

My role was made redundant exactly 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I've already had two 3rd stage interviews, a second stage interview lined up, and another screening call later today.

One of the 3rd stage interviews mentioned that last stage (CEO) is just a "vibe check" and the decision had already been made at that point. I've got the good need today that they'll schedule that call this week. (So I think I've got the job??)

The other 3 are good back up plans, obviously nothing set in stone, but I think I can breathe :)

I had already scheduled another interview for Wednesday (completely different company! ) but they've changed the time and now it clashes with the school run. I was never going to take that job but saw it as a decent practice run.

I was also going to start a new batch of applications, but it almost seems like a waste of time now.

So WWYD?

Go for it Op

As in stick with the interviews

I wouldnt put all my eggs in one basket.

The job is not yours until you have a signed contract. Employers can and often do change their minds, pull the funding, start a hiring freeze, you name it. Keep doing the interviews!

I would still keep most of the recruitment cycles going, just I'm thinking of cancelling the Wednesday one, and not apply not anything new for like a week or so.

If you already know you wouldn’t take the Wednesday interview job, then cancel. Have a week off from applying, take a breather, and start again if necessary.

Good luck OP!

Do you want to work for a company where the CEO says things like “vibe check”?!

Exactly, I think that's the sensible thing to do. (And I don't waste the other company's time).

That's semi "normal" lingo for us, so it's ok ;)

You're smashing it OP! Very impressive.
If you would never take the job and you've already had your practice, then I would relax, to be honest.
