OK LADIES and GENTS, (Sorry about this being repeated to some)
I need some help. As some of you know, I hate where I work, so I have been sending my resume out. Last week Monday I sent it to a company who is hiring (Im in sales). Tuesday the site manager called and I had a 1st interview on Wednesday late in the day. By last week Friday the secretary called to ask me to come in this week Tuesday for the second interview. There were 18 people that were interviewed and 6 were called back for the second interview (I am the only female). So that was Tuesday late in the day. I asked when they would be making thier choice, since they want whoever they hire to attend a big show with them on Sept 14, I mean pretty tight schedule for leaving 2 weeks notice where I work! They said "within a day or so". So yesterday I emailed the site manager a "thank you for giving me a second interview" email and he replied with a "generic" reply, so I couldnt read anything into that. The regional manager was there for the 2nd interview and he made the comment "you are definately in the running for the position". So I figured I may hear yesterday, well that came and went. Now today is almost over and I am wondering what is happening! I mean if they call tomorrow you pretty much have to put in notice right away to get a full 2 weeks! I really hate waiting, but I am wondering if I should call back, or email and ask if they had made a decision and use the 2 week notice as an excuse? I have been driving myself CRAZY over this for 10 days!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!
Oh and they are supposedly going to run background checks, at least I signed a paper giving them permission to, so I wonder if they are waiting on that to come back, which I nothing to worry about there, but I wonder how long that takes....I am curious are they waiting for that before offering employment? I mean every other place I worked they ran that after making an offer of employment, pending your background check comes back clear. Any thoughts?
