Your story is so similar to mine! I applied back in May when they had that 72 hour window open, didn't hear anything for over a month so I figured they had moved on from me. Mid July I got an email about the HireVue interview and went from there! Was your F2F this week? Honestly, I've read so many mixed reviews on here about the interview process I got a little nervous, but had to put it all aside, and just show my real self. I ended up having so much fun that day! Yes, super long, and SUPER exhausting, but SO worth it in the end!! Although I will say, toward the end of the day especially when the number of people in the room got smaller and smaller, it was really sad when they asked people to leave because I felt like I was friends with some of them after spending all day together. :(
I'm wondering if they told you an exact date for training?! They were still unsure of it during ours, they just said January. I am so excited for the next the step, January can't come fast enough! Congrats to you!! :)
