Calling and asking if I got the job after the interview...
    #11072174 - 09/16/09 06:51 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

I went into an interview today and it went well.  I have previous experience, live near by, and they showed me around.

The secretary told me, when scheduling the interview, that they were interviewing today and tommarrow.

When should I call and ask if I got the job?

Also, how exactly should I ask?

Thanks.

It kind of depends on the job.  If one person is doing the hiring and only has to choose among a few candidates the process can be really quick.

If a group of people has to decide among multiple candidates, it can take longer.

If interviews are today and Thursday, I'd call Monday.  Ask politely and directly: "I'm calling about the status of the job interview I had last week".

Just phone in a few days asking how far along they are with the interview process, and let them know you're still interested.

Fair enough Im in the same position as the OP.  I had a phone interview 7 days ago and Ive been pussyfooting around waiting for them to contact me.  They said they would like for me to come down and meet them as a next step, however they haven't contacted me.  I guess Ill contact them and ask them 'what the fuck is up nigga?'

Wait at least a couple of days, but it would be a classy touch to send them a "thank you" letter.  Do that.

send a thank you email. find a sample somewhere on the intrawobs and tweak it. you should do that probably tonight.

If they dont call you, you didnt get the job.

So its pointless for you to call except to express desperation.

If you honestly want the job, call, tell them "I really want this job" I've done this. I've also called and said "I just wanted to follow up and make sure you were able to contact all my references". Either way Ive done this more times than I can count and it seems to keep your name on their minds.

I think it's best to show up in person. The power of showing up in person in crucial situations can be amazing

You shouldn't have to call.  You should have made it clear to the interviewer that the job is already yours after they accepted the $1000 bribe you were offering.

calling and following up always enforces your interest unless they specifically ask you not to call than call.

Yeah, there is usually a negotiating period.

The thank you letter sounds good.

I've never done that, but it couldn't hurt huh?

I think it is very important to call and follow up after the initial interview.

You must let your potential employer know that you are ready to work,

and it really helps if you make them think that you are excited about the job.

It will make you stand out among the losers that usually apply.
