    I had a phone interview with Averitt last Wednesday (10/21) and haven't heard anything. Should I take that as a sign they didn't like what they heard? Is it normal to wait this long? Thanks....

    So it may be too soon to start panicking?

    Where you live at that could be a factor

    give them a couple of weeks before calling , they may need time to do their background checks and check referances

    My recruiter called me a bit ago....his wife had a baby last week and he's been off. Anyway, I'm scheduled for orientation on 11/9. So excited! Averitt was my first choice....I applied the first time in July (while I was still in school) and the recruiter I had then took issue with the fact I had been terminated from a prior job 2 years ago. She said she had to get it approved and she would call me back; I never heard from her again. I tried a few times to contact her but didn't have any luck. After that I applied to and went to orientation at TransAm; yeah that was a joke. I made a post on here about TA and even stated that I knew they were crap and I would suffer through it. Turns out it's much worse there then it seems and I wasn't up to dealing with them.

    So a few weeks ago for poops and giggles I applied to my first choice again. I figured heck why not, the worse thing that could happen is they don't call me. A few days after I applied a new recruiter called me, said he had already review my application, discussed the termination with his supervisor before calling me (it's nice when a recruiter actually reads your application before hand instead of waiting until you're on the phone with them) and everything looked good and he setup a phone interview. Had the phone interview, went good I thought. I didn't hear from him as quick as I thought I should (my excitement was getting the best of me) After a stressful week of not hearing anything I got the call today!

    Everything is falling into place and it feels right.

    Thanks everyone for the info about Averitt
