company A: I go in for interview, interview goes well and I have brother that works at the place that they really like. They call me two days later and say they have 1 more interview before they make a decision. I call them them a week later and they dont answer. I call them the next day and they say theyll let me know a few days later. A few days later goes by and they dont call. I call them and they dont answer. This has been goin on for 3 weeks now. I dont get these companies.
Company B: Interview goes really well. They say theyll get up with me a week later and let me know. A week comes and nothing. I call them and leave a few messages. Still no call back. I call them again and the recruiter says she hasnt heard anything. I call them 3 days later and she says they were suppose to run everything by the engineering manager and call me back. Still no call back yet. I call today and no answer
I'm taking classes while doing this and if I don't get these jobs I need to apply for financial aid. Financial aid costs 800 to get so I wait and wait and wait and no calls. 2/14/2008 6:13:06 PM |

Sometimes hiring managers get so caught up in their other work that hiring a new employee gets put on the back burner mid process. 2/14/2008 6:18:35 PM |

It sounds like you have the perception that the interviews went well when in fact they did not. 2/14/2008 6:19:13 PM |

now you know how girls sometimes feel
in all reality i agree with both statements. it could be anything but good for you for showing initiative. you can't really do much more than you're already doing. 2/14/2008 7:08:46 PM |

you may be a 2nd or 3rd choice, and they are waiting on their 1st choice to get back to them. 2/14/2008 8:25:58 PM |

Each company said they had multiple positions open, so if they were waiting on somebody I dont see why that would matter. 2/14/2008 9:24:18 PM |

Seriously sounds to me like either you didn't do good in the interviews or people are just busy as shit... hard to say which but where I work we generally notify the people we want to hire very quickly, and sure as fuck at least answer their calls. 2/14/2008 9:39:36 PM |

Also, you can't get your brother to ask around. Big companies work slowly.2/14/2008 9:47:12 PM |

Yea he's a twin brother and they told me he was doing the best of any person theyd ever hired. I would think that would help me a little bit. 2/14/2008 10:28:16 PM |
