Had job interview Monday....UPDATE
« on: August 16, 2013, 07:22:46 PM »
my peeps on the 'inside' tell me good things.  That the interview went well, and I'm just the kind of person they're looking for.  Sent the obligatory email thanking them for their time, the interview and etc.

Now comes the waiting.  I ain't real patient.  If'n you could spare it, a few kind thoughts sent my way would be helpful.

Better company, more money, better hours, less stress.  How much longer should I wait before phone contact again?

Good luck man!

Did they give you any indication of the time frames?
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

The man said he had to post a new position for an 'inside hire'.  Then, the position I interviewed for would be open. ::)

You did send a handwritten thank you note after the interview?

Hope you do get it.

Strap on about 6 guns and just hang out in the office....they'll notice you have an intense interest.

You think inviting the hiring manager to a long range tactical rifle match would be too much?

fbg, my suggestion is find out what his area of expertise is and invite him to a shoot out for that. Give him the opportunity to teach you "new skills" and then suggest to him you'd like to reciprocate. Make him feel important, but show what your contributions to his company will be. Best of luck as I'm sure we are all pulling for you.

Good Idea.  and google him/her and see what you find out. 

As a matter of fact, it's would not be unlikely that they googled you already.

Hiring manager was a catcher in the Montreal Expo's farm system for 3 years.  Prefers sales to what he does now.  Wasn't able to discover what his hobbies were.

I'm sure they're doing a background check, credit check, BMV check, and would send me to a proctologist if they thought of it.  The only google reference I've been able to find of me mentions that I was a pall bearor for an attorney.  The attorney was dead before we buried him, and no, I didn't kill him.

I wonder  how many points you will lose because of that  ;D ;D
