Interview's Do's & Dont's

[TheNeck]

I had an interview last Friday, and the interviewer said they should know by next Friday(tomorrow), if I got the job. Should I give them a call or wait for them to call me. Also I already sent them a thank you letter which they should have gotten tuesday or wednesday of this week. Man I hate the whole interviewing process.

What do you think i should do?

Wait or give them a call?

i dont think calling would cause them to change their decision....

edit: i've never had a real job before, just fyi...

 

[Mo0o]

I would wait and if theres no call from them, call them back on Monday

At my last interview I was told when they'd be making calls.

Pieces of shit at Best Buy didn't hire me because I said I don't buy service plans, so later on in the interview she said "Since you don't believe in service plans how will you feel about selling them?" I was so pissed because that's not at all what I said and it seems to have cost me the job since I made it through all three interviews up to that point getting along with the people really well.

That sucks, what position at Best Buy? The Geek Squad, Double Agent position pays decent, but only at bigger Best Buys though, not at some of the smallers ones they are building lately.

Interviews suck in general, my friend can ace any interview, even for a job he has no experience for.

I know, it doesn't matter in the forums or does it.

If they have already told you when you should expect a response there is no reason to contact them (other than the thank you note).

Wait a couple days after they say to expect a call to call them. It could be that they had other issues to address and couldn't sit down with other people to make a decision, had another interview to do or had someone need to reschedule their interview.

The truth is a lot of people really don't like to be bothered unless they have to be.

Yeah, it sucks to be told you'd get a call and then never hear back, but that's life.

If you do decide to call and they decided to go with someone else, don't just rush to get off of the phone ask if there was any particular reason they turned you down or if there is anything you could do to make yourself the better candidate in future opportunities... if you're not going to get the job at least get the piece of mind to learn from your failures.

QFMFT. Its more likely than not that they are busy but they will make the call cause they probably have it in their outlook tasks to do list.
