what do you do? do you forget it and look at other places and assume you didn't get it or do you call to see whats up ( does that seem desperate, even though I am, but don't want to show it)

If you do call what do you say, if email what do you say?

Love u all M

You don't forgot it; I do recruitment for my company and if it is a busy day things can get overlooked, however I would continue looking cause you might find something better out there.

Also, sometimes taking the initiative and giving them a call can be a good thing and shows that you are enthuasiatic, just be calm and relaxed when you call. Don't ring up and say I'm calling cause no-one got back to me; just say 'I am following up on .....'

Good luck!

Call!!!! Telling them ur following up your interview ...
If you don't get the job ..ask them "for personal development could you please tell me why I didn't get the job as Im am always wanting to improve"

ok! I haven't had an interview yet- we talked for 15 mns on the phone last week and she said she and another person would ring and then I can ask questions etc and when their next work meeting is.

Was that the "interview"? Over the phone?

Have I ruined my chances already... oh man.....the last time it took her aggggges to ring back, I left it a bit cause I thought she was just busy



Ill ring tomorrow, first thing.

Yes, calling to FOLLOW UP is a good thing, it will show that you have INITIATIVE.

the job im in was filled 2 days before i enquired about openings.

2 weeks later, it was mine- the person who had the position decided not to take it up, id already applied on line- and went to see the store manager as a follow up with my resume...he wouldnt have known i was still looking if i hadnt approached him.


good luck

How does this sound " Hi, this is ( my name) and I'm following up on a call I had with ( her name) last week"

Then what? What if she doesn't reemmber she said she would call again? How do I approach that?
