Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

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.

Robin, as an HR person, are you as annoyed if they ask if there's a timeline for decision, or is just if they're all "When WILL you decide"?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Been a long time since I had a job interview, but I like to use the words "check on the status of" something.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
As a glorious part of my job, I just got to serve one of our tenants with a court summons for eviction. Take THAT deadbeat renter guy!

Ask if there is a timeline is okay. Asking for a date isn't, because if there was a date. I woulda told you already.
Joe--from now on, I suggest you send a written thank you note directly to whoever interviewed you. It may not matter, but some managers set a lot of store by those things and you never know. We didn't hire one guy who blew us away in his interview because he never sent a note, and the head of that department felt that showed he didn't really want the job.

absolutely. If the person doesn't care, you've wasted two minutes. If they do care, it can make or break you.
