So I had this interview last Thursday...

[Catmusicfan]

I am between jobs right now. So when this company called to schedule the interview I was excited and so let me explain I applied to an add late May got a call in early June asking if I was still interested in a position I said yes. They e-mailed me a form to fill out. didn't hear anything for about 2 weeks. Then they called back to schedule the interview.


Went to the interview was there for 1 hour 10 minutes. At first I was nervous because they got me confused with another candidate and well after talking with me instead of only one team of the company was interested in me 3 different teams show interests. So before leaving I was told I would need 7 references all professional and all need to be able to be contacted by e-mail. They did say they where doing more interviews. Now they didn't tell me when or how to get them the references. I am going on the assumption that when they do all the interviews and have decided who they want to move on they will contact me again. It is just making me nervous to hear from them again.

I now have 2 more interviews for late this week and early next. I think this one I did though might be the best. Chance for advancement while the other 2 that will pay nice are just entry level customer service which doesn't seem to have any advancement.

So I am checking my e-mail daily. Nervous and am beginning to wonder if I screwed up the interview.

1. Hmm ...

I think you should inquire how and when they want the references,
in case someone was to provide you with that info slipped up.

They might be waiting, and getting nothing, well you know ....

2. okay. I didn't know if that would be over pushy.

The time has allowed me to line up most of them. one reference I had normally used does not e-mail nor has a computer... Elderly woman and one is out of the country. so I need replacements for those 2. I will e-mail the contact Wednesday.

Thanks.

10. No, it need not be 'pushy'

I'd just put it in such a way that you want to clarify when they may want them.
Best of luck

5. Follow up is my advice

Just moved to WA and these hiring mang take their sweet time. Also, it's a holiday and so many people take off that it drags the process out. I am waiting to hear about a job. They did at least warn me that they are busy and actually told me to call after the fourth if they don't call by Friday.

May the fourth be with you!

****(I don't feel very patriotic - due to the resident in the WH)

6. I had an interview nearly a month back and have not heard anything

And they told me they would let me know either way.

It was a 3 hour interview, I had a thousand chances to blow it.

My only hope is it requires a security clearance and they are still working on it.

8. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

16. Since they already showed interest in you then you should

contact them with your references. It will show them you're quite serious because they asked for the references and you came through.

If they have other people they're interested in then it will only help your case if you remind them that they showed interest in you.

It also shows you're interested in the job. Why else would you contact them? It never hurts to let them know you are interested in working for them.

They would only think you're pushy if they turned you down but you kept calling. Or if you called every day to ask if they've hired anyone yet.

17. Thanks I will take the step and e-mail the references.
