Roughtread asked:

I was contacted three weeks ago by the HR person and told that she wants to bring me out to CA for a final interview and would contact me. This was by voice mail. I called her the next day and left a message. I then waited four business days and called again only to leave another message to call me. I then called another four days later and left another message. I now have called her four times only to leave messages every time and she hasn’t returned my call.
Should I ask for the HR Supervisor and see if anything is going on that I should be aware of or should I just wait? I **** to wait and lose the job, which is a dream job for me, by sitting by instead of taking action but i don’t want to go “over the person’s head” by going to the Supervisor either. Any help?
This is for a mid level position that will pay around $100k if it matters.

Perigee asked:

My supervisor approached me, and asked me if I wanted to apply to this agency. I already work as an international analyst for this company, and I have a mid level clearance. But to me it’s a regular job, in at 9, leave at 5.

She told me it’s a “compliancy officer” position. She wouldn’t tell me any more than that…seriously! I don’t even know what a compliancy officer is. All she told me was that it’s nothing like the movies.

I love my country, and want to do something meaningful to contribute to it. But I don’t know how different my life would be. I am 25…so still young, and no wife or kids. Working for the CIA…I won’t be in a place where random firefights break out will I?

LM asked:

I am currently employed as a mid-level employee (not a manager, but not a sales associate either) at a retail store owned by a large national corporation. I am seeking to relocate to the city where the corporation’s headquarters are located and am interested in several positions that are available at the head office.

However, I do not want my current supervisor to know that I am looking for a new job. I am worried that if I’m considered for the position, the people from the head office will contact my current boss without telling me (despite the fact that the position I would be applying for is completely different from the one I currently hold). Does anyone know what the protocol is in situations like this? Do I have a good reason to be nervous?
