delta employment
When you go to face 2 face interview with a manager of delta after interview does the manager tell you right away if you are hired or not? And if hired how long does it take to start the job?
And when you go to interview are you interviewed alone with the manager or group of people?
If anyone knows please help.
Thank You
With respect Ak360

It varies by position, location, and requirements.
Either way, best of luck! It's always great to have an insider on flyertalk. Bring in the flyertalk spirit!

with no specific knowledge of delta's hiring policy, i think it's safe to say that you will not be told on the spot if you are or are not hired. this is not common practice for most fields, so unless you really screw up the interview and they are not interested, your interview will likely end with a polite "thank you, and you can expect to hear from us in a few days."
also, the amount of time between your offer and your start date would likely be more up to you than up to delta.
again, this is just a general observation and not based on delta policy

Without knowing DL's policies, I would expect them to verify some of the information on your application/resume and google you (either before or after the interview, depending on the number of applicants) before extending a formal offer. The background check could happen after you have accepted a conditional job offer and delay your start. You probably need to sign your permission for the background check, but this might be included on the application form. You might not be able to start, or even begin training, before the results of the mandatory drug test.
Most employers will respect you for delaying the start date to give fair notification (typically one pay period by convention, but this expectation is stated in some employee handbooks) to your current employer.
