I know there are lots of places that no news means no job. But when she follows-up, they act like they want her and that she will get a call the next day. Then nothing.
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's probably not a situation where a mama bear approach is beneficial. If K-Bug herself wants to give them a tongue lashing though, it could be a growth experience.
With your guidance, Suzi, this could be a good learning experience for K-Bug. Those people need a lesson in HR etiquette, seriously. If they're going to call her, they should CALL HER. I'd give her some points to go over (written down, practiced, even) and have her call and ask to speak to the manager, the hiring manager or the HR person right away. Explain that she's been waiting for a call, been promised a call and never gotten one. Then ask them to tell her what's going on.
Sadly, terribly common. BOO hiring ridiculousness.
Lack of communication from HR even after multiple interviews is very common, in my experience. Incredibly disheartening, but common.
We always send out rejections to every applicant. Sometimes it takes a month or two--but that's because I have to wait for the hiring person to MAKE UP THEIR DAMN MIND ALREADY. Not that I'm complaining or anything.
So what are people doing this weekend?
I'm restraining myself from walking in there and saying "Your hiring practices are going to make me boycott your store. Straighten up and hire my daughter NOW".
K-Bug is stressing over the SAT's (tomorrow) more than the job, but once the SAT's are over, I have a feeling that a certain store is going to hear from her.
Chilling! And going to a beer festival tomorrow. And hanging out with my neighbors tomorrow night.
I have Monday off, so after Saturday, we have 2 days of unscheduled hanging out to do.
So what are people doing this weekend?
Tonight, Friday Night Lights, baybee.
Tomorrow, cleaning, general puttering, with a probability of going over to GG Park and watching Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Also perhaps going up to Coit Tower to watch the ships come in to the Bay. Then, dinner with M & Vortex! Woot!
Sunday, watching the Blue Angels, probably. Also, Columbus Day parade and meeting many paisanos of the neighborhood.
Monday, I think there's a BBQ. Maybe.
