    Had a job interview friday. Think it went well and they said they would call back at the start of the coming week. Thurday now and haven't heard a word, so I'm guessing they are signing contract with someone else and just won't contact until its a done deal.

    They did seem very impressed by the html email job application mail I did, so guess thats a tip for others job hunting to stand out that way.

    • Phone them up, goddamn.
      You want the job? Chase it.
      Don't be desperate about it, but just as equally, don't cower in the shadows.      detritus
    • My partner does this all the time - frets about applications but never Just Phones The Cunts Up. Much better to know either way.detritus

    • detritus - that was my thought too, but my other half actually adviced against that, as I would seem more desperate doing so.Nutter
    • If they say 'start of the week' and you've not heard back by Wednesday, it's absolutely not desperate.detritus
    • 'Desperate' is phoning up that afternoon or right on the day they've stated. 'Desperate' is a mile off showing you're keen, interested and professional too.detritus
    • Personally it annoys me if we're hiring, haven't let anyone know yet, and someone rings up to chase. I think it's a little rude and pushy personallyset
    • Same thing a long time ago when interviewing for housemates. We liked two but were deliberating. One rang up and text to see if we'd made our decision...set

    • Frankly, a phone call is never going to change their mind and make them choose you.set
    • The only benefit to you I think is to find out sooner if they haven't chosen you...set
    • Called them yesterday, the boss wasn't available so I left a message. Gota text today that they moved forward with other candidates. Not really surprised.Nutter
    • You'd have totally gotten the job if you hadn't have calledset

    • I'm just joking btwset
    • can i see the html job app? im curiouspockets
    • give them a week and 1/2 they might just have a slow hiring process depending on how large the company is.notype
    • notype, normally I would wait, but when they specifically say "start of the week" then it just seems odd.
