During a job interview, the hiring manager wrote "OK" on my resume...
what the heck do you think that means? I am in HR/Staffing and I haven't the slightest idea what that could even mean.

:P

I can't believe I am freaking out over this - I have done hundreds of interviews with candidates, but never written OK.

Im just tired and stressed. I need a drink.

6. He or she intends to send you to Oklahoma for a second interview.
Too bad he or she didn't write "HI."

7. Not Oklahoma...
Nothing but fried food and homophobes there :)

That being said, it is freaking me out - why, I have no idea. I need to start drinkin'.

8. I'm with you....
:toast:
I started hours ago...just before my last post.

But don't worry. I'm sure in the interviewers mind, your O.K.

Maybe even A.O.K.

or maybe it just means that you are not defective.

in any case, It doesn't sound negative.

So Good Luck! :thumbsup:

9. I can understand hating on the fried foods...
but what have you got against homophobes?
:hide:

(I really hope that this doesn't need to be said but this post is completely tongue-in-cheek.)

10. I think it means you are ok by him
or would that be too simple? Acceptable for consideration at least.

11. Old Kentucky.
He's guessing what kinda whisky you like.

Seriously, who knows? If it does mean "overqualified" it's a cheesy way to document it. Maybe he really thinks you're A-OK!
