I went for a job interview in West Sussex last week. The job would be perfect, I have really really set my heart on getting this. However its now been a week and I havent heard anything. The interview was good, but there were some hard questions!:shocking:
Im going out my head expecting a rejection letter to come thru the post any day.
Has anyone else had to wait so long to hear back from a job ?? How do you stop yourself getting totally absorbed into your perfect job, incase that rejection letter comes thru the post soon :chin:
Cheers

In the end, she called on a Sunday afternoon! She told me they "wanted to progress my application further" and so I went for a medical on the Tuesday and had the offer by Friday.
I really really wanted the job as well as being desperate to leave the one I was in so that didn't help much!
Hope you hear something soon!
We always send out "thanks but no thanks" letters to unsuccessful applicants if they've applied for a specific job (not just speculatively) and "unsuccessful on this occasion" letters to applicants that made it as far as interview.
Gutted when I got the letter through knocking me back, kept looking though and got a job with a different mobile provider with a better location and more money.
All is not lost if the worst comes to the worst :yes:
Im so pissed off, even more so they dont give feedback!
What was that saying...... every cloud.... only joking. Something positive has got to happen soon.
Thanks to everyone who wished my luck
Cheers

Does the letter actually say that they don't give feedback, or does it just not give any in the letter?
If it was a big company, call the reception and ask the receptionist for the interviewer's email address. Drop them a quick email, asking for feedback - say that you don't want to take up too much of their time but you would appreciate some feedback on the interview in order to build on the experience for the next one you have. I did this for a couple of jobs I got rejected from and always got a response.
Emails are usually better than phone calls as you don't want to put them on the spot and for them to have trouble remembering you and then fobbing you off with something generic. Emails give them chance to dig the notes out and consider their reply before answering. Hence why it's easier to call the receptionist who won't know who you are and always gives out email addresses willy-nilly! (I was one!).
Yeah its a big airlines, so they say with all the applications they can not give feedback.
Im just thinking maybe I should still send an email, I havent really got anything to loose (well apart from my reputation )
Just state that despite you not getting further than the interview stage this time, you are still very interested in working for the company because <reason why that particular company and what you feel you could offer> (bit of honest flattery probably wouldn't go a miss!) and that you would very much appreciate being contacted when they are next recruiting if they are interested in meeting with you again.
I did spend 9 1/2 hours traveling to and from the interview and over £200 in costs to get there, and few words of advice from the wouldnt kill them.
