'Beneath You'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Okay, serious question time.
I gotta call this company and follow up in re: Hey, do I get the job, or not, or are you still thinking about it? I'm stuck on what to say.
Like: "Hello, Ms. Prospective!Employer, this is Joe Conat. We spoke last Tuesday. I was just calling to check in with you and..."
...and what? "Ask you what the FUCK is going on?" "Beg and plead that it be me me me"? "Tell you I thought your suit was FABulous"?
Help?
Ask, "Have you made a decision yet?" or somesuch.
"Hello, Ms. Prospective!Employer, this is Joe Conat. We spoke last Tuesday. I was just calling to check in with you and..."
tell you it was nice meeting with you. I think my (skill you mentioned in interview) can really address the (issue they brought up). Is there a time frame on the hiring decision?
Them: Blah, blah. 2 weeksorwhatever
Great! I look forward to hearing from you then.
"I just wanted to follow up from our interview last week. Is there anything else you need from me? Also, do you have a timeline in mind for when you'd be making a decision and for when the new hire would ideally be in place?"
"You are getting sleeeeepy.... sleeeeepy... your eyes are getting heavy... you will hire Joe... you will hire Joe...."
Just put Em on the phone.
NYET!
Just put Em on the phone.
Yeah, that'd get me the job.
"That's my daddy! And that's my puppy! I want Dora! Dora! Go, Diego, Go-Go-Go. 'kay, 'bye!"
Joe, have you already sent your thank you note? If so, then just say you are calling to see if a decision has been made yet. If they say no, do not say "When WILL you decide?" as the person you are talking to is probably as annoyed at the delay as you are. You can ask if you can provide anything else. They'll say no, but it's a nice gesture.
Didn't send a thank you note, because they e-mailed me to have me take an online test and I included a "thank you" in my e-mail letting them know I'd taken the test and offering my availability if they had any further questions.
Turns out it was moot: Ms. Prospective!Employer wasn't in. I left a voice mail expressing my appreciation of the opportunity, my enjoyment of the interview, offered more info if they need and wondered if they had a timeline for the decision. Also left contact info.
That should do.
In the meantime, I have another interview tomorrow for a different job. Now Aims and I have to juggle daycare thingies.
