Query:
Increasingly, the hiring process at many companies is becoming
an extended one. Candidates report going through multiple rounds
of interviews over a significant period of time before
ultimately being told they didn't get the job. Sometimes,
they're asked to interview for different role at the company
when the first one doesn't work out -- only to have the process
drag out all over again. It feels like a way of being kept
around as a candidate, they say, until the company can make up
it's mind or receive different budgeting information. The
practice is being called "breadcrumbing." As a hiring manager,
have you ever had to "string a candidate along" or keep them
invested in the possibility of a job over an extended period of
time? Why does this happen? Is there anything about the process
of breadcrumbing that job seekers may not understand, from the
hiring manager's perspective?
Requirements:
You're a hiring manager

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real

interview lenders, attorneys, financial experts/CPAs, housing

Shortening your mortgage for long-term strategies: Is it smart
to refinance to a 20- or 15-year loan? This article will share
the pros and cons of refinancing your mortgage to a shorter
term, including a 20- or 15-year loan, to pay off your mortgage

written responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via
email to the following questions. My deadline is noon central,
Wednesday, August 5.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it often a smart idea to refinance to a
shorter term on your mortgage? 2. Who are good candidates for
this strategy and why? 3. What is your recommended criteria for
refinancing to a 15- or 20-year loan? (e.g., must be able to
afford the payments, goals should be to shorten the term in
order to pay less interest, etc.)? 4. What are the pros and cons
of refinancing to a shorter term? 5. Is there a better
alternative to refinancing to a shorter term--such as making
accelerated mortgage payments? 6. Any other thoughts, tips or
suggestions on this topic? 7. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?
