After attending an interview for a
financial planner, I asked how long they would take to tell me I was being invited to a 2nd interview. The interviwer replied there and then that he was going to invite me to a second interview. Of course, this verbal offer is not worth the paper it's not written on.
Unfortunately, the interview won't be till June - I will have to decide if I want to assist the teaching of English in Japan before then.
