Starting date not negotiable

Can't hurt to try. But I'm betting the same company would want you to submit notice before quitting.

 

Some companies hang on to apps for so many months then others like this one hires right then and there.Wait till you're ready to start this carreer then reapply,you'll get hired.

 

One month is a little excessive don't you think? Two weeks is appropriate but I've left with only giving them one week. Look at it this way.......if they fire you they don't give you notice, it's immediate termination. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The company that wanted to hire you sounds like they just need a warm body to fill the seat. Those companies are a dime a dozen.

 

So to understand, with little to no experience you applied for a position that requires a year exp?
Commendable to want to give good notice with current employer. Speaks highly of your character. If you are interested you have a decent chance it's still available then. But I can't get past recent grad and requires a year?

 

Have you ever gone into a car dealership and told them you want some time to think about it. Oh, no, the deal is only good for right this minute. It is call high pressure sells. The company that you wanted to work for most likely doesn't want to give you time to do research into them.

What company was it? Feel free to drop the name. We like the dirt.

You will do fine in this world by having a decent set of ethics and never compromising them. Welcome to trucking.

 

whats the name of the company? Also the norm is a 2 week notice... if you call they guy back and ask him if he'd be willing to let you give your current employer a 2 week notice, i'd be surprised if he said no
