I accepted a job offer @ Walmart and set the joining date to 2 weeks from now I have not given notice to my current employer yet as I am waiting for the background checks to clear out and sign the employment contract, to be safe. I was wondering if i had to move the joining date @ Walmart to later, Is it normal? Or will it be frowned upon by my new employer?
Very normal. I moved mine by a week in Amazon
Thank you so much
My start date has moved multiple times in the span of two months. No big deal. Sit and relax. Wait for HireRight to complete your background check.
Thank you so much
Do it at your own risk of rescinding offer
You can change the start date
They won’t rescind the offer
You can discuss with the recruiter. But choose your words wisely when you raise your concerns. It should not raise a questions on HR side, i.e. hiding something, not being transparent since the beginning etc. In the beginnig of interview process, I usually say “I can join x weeks later after background check is done”. So, HR would be aware of that. Giving notice before that is not a good idea.
Yup. Normal.
No totally normal - esp since background isn’t complete and you haven’t signed yet…
Thank you so much
