offers and background checks

Nov 26, 2019

Hello, I'm new to this and have enjoyed reading the conversations on this site. :) I had an interview last week and they called my references the next day. I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up but also want to be prepared and know what to watch for. Two questions , , ,

1.) I'm curious as to how a tentative offer comes. Is it sent via email or by regular mail? What all is included in the offer?

2.) They told me it would be a quick turnaround as they need someone for next semester. After reading about the slow process with the background checks I wonder if they will go with someone already working in the system. I would be a new hire which could take longer. This is for a job in Germany and we would have to move from the U.S.

Any thoughts? Thanks!
