Good luck!! I never tell anyone when I have an interview. Then you have to deal with so many people asking how it went and did you get the job. And if you haven't heard back from them or get the call or email that you didn't get it you have to rehash it to everyone.
I learned this lesson awhile ago. It just depresses me more to have to have to tell people I have been rejected. The worst is when they don't even bother to call or email or even send a letter.
Just got the contact info. ::big sigh of relief!:: They told me to dress for a formal interview! Like I didn't know that?! I got new pantyhose just for this! The e-mail sounds VERY positive......
OMG, I was nervous wreck on the way over there! Honestly, I had hives and heartburn!
However.....
The interview itself it seemed to go very well. It's a small office (12-15 people) that I would be supporting. Nothing I haven't done for many years. The big thing -- maintaining calendars for the two PMs. Oh yeah! Travel arrangements too. When I told them I was familiar with DTS, their faces lit up! I didn't freak out when they said 'Office Mom,' grinned and said 'Cat Herder.' Yes, I can be a bossy bitch, but I have the Southern Nice Girl Training, so I can do it tactfully.
Just talked to the HR person. We hope to hear back -- positively!! -- by Monday.
Saturn is right. There is nothing ruder than being left hanging by a company that interviewed you. It only takes a few minutes to send out a canned rejection letter with the applicant's name on it.
I had to make the call to find out, since they hadn't bothered to let me know.
That's common, although I think it's polite to let you know because you were on the short short list. Send them a note thanking them for their time and saying that you would be interested in working there if another position came up that matched your skills.
Just think, when you do get your job, there will be another person who will be in your position - interviewed well but someone else (you) got hired instead.
Well, the most annoying part of that was the HR person saying "Oh, SoAndSo was supposed to send you a message. I guess she forgot." Gee thanks. It's probably not the most fun part of your job, but don't just leave people hanging, wondering.
