Sweetbabygirl | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 04:01 pm     I need lots of cyber fingers crossed for an Administrative Assistant position I am pursuing. I had the interview on Monday. It went very well as far as I am concerned; I passed all the testings and clicked with the three people I had to meet (actually, I was scheduled to meet just the Human Resources Manager, but after a while she got another Manager and Supervisor). All told, the interview lasted four hours (made me miss Passions, lol!). Anyway, the HR Manager gave me her card (which included her e-mail address) as I left. The plan is to wait until this Thursday before calling to inquire about the status of the position. Here is my question; should I call the HR Manager, or should I send her an inquiry letter via her e-mail address? Also, is Thursday too soon to call? |
Bandit | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 04:13 pm     Sweet- IMO, I don't think Thursday is too late too early to call. Hopefully, they would get back with you sooner than that, so that's why I don't think it's too early. I think that it is good to know you are interested by being persistant without being bothersome. Good Luck!!!! |
Urgrace | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 04:50 pm     Sweetbabygirl, the question is why Thursday? Was there a cut-off date which made Thursday the likely day to check back, are they still interviewing others for the position until Thursday, or are you just being patient until Thursday? If none of the above why wait, maybe you should drop the HR manager a nice thank you-inquiry email today. This gives your interview a freshness that brings you back to mind especially if others are being interviewed. From last Monday to next Thursday is possibly too long unless you've been restricted. You can always follow up with a phone call. It shows initiative and eagerness. My cyberfingers are crossed for you  |
Sweetbabygirl | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 05:37 pm     Thanks for the good luck guys; I have butterflies in my stomach everytime I have to pick up the mail....I'd be crushed if I saw the envelope with the company logo and the "Thanks but, yadda, yadda" letter inside. I like the company and would love to work there. To answer your question UpG., I remember the HR Manager saying that she would call those invited for a second callback. What I can't remember is WHEN that will happen....I was sooooo hungry that day and she was beginning to look like a hotdog with mustard, lol!! I figured that Thursday would have given her enough time to interview everyone. Dangit, I'm so mad that I can't remember when the interviews are supposed to end. |
Dahli | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 04:19 pm     I have checked around on the board for the answer to this cuz I know it's out here somewhere but haven't had any luck.... a while back was one of those 'mystic sites' that would inexplicably be able to tell you which symbol you were thinking of. You just clicked on the crystal ball after selecting in your mmind a 2 digit number and then subtracting the total of those two digits from the original number etc...It was called the Flash Mind Reader. I read somewhere on the board the explanation for it and now I'm trying to explain it to someone and can't remember!!! Can somebody remember what or where that info is? Thanks |
Draheid | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Dahli: I believe you're looking for the thread called "A Puzzle" in General Discussions Over Here |
Dahli | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 05:39 pm     My goodness Draheid... I truly wonder sometimes if you are really just one person! Thanks ever so much. |
Sia | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 08:34 pm     Dahli, Draheid IS just one person. . .but he's one person with multiple personalities!
ROTFL! |
Urgrace | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 09:18 pm     Dahli, I've met Draheid in person - just one body from what I could tell, and he didn't seem to have mutiple personalities either > just one great personality! A real nice guy. Oh yeah, he does have a sidekick named Jmm! |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 08:27 am     Bandit and Urgrace....like the impatient minx that I am, I called the HR Manager today. It turns out that they hope to wrap up the interviews this week; by the end of the week to next week, second callbacks will be made. Keep your fingers crossed, and thanks again. |
Urgrace | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 09:36 am     Sweetbabygirl, You did just what I would advise, call the office and ask! Your name will now be refreshed in their mind and your interest will show. |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 07:46 pm     UGrace, I forgot to mention one thing....I was so friggin' nervous, that at the end of the conversation what was supposed to come out as "Have a good rest of the week" came out as "Have a good WEST of the week"....Jesus!! When I hung up the phone I felt like such a moron. |
Urgrace | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 06:25 am     LOL Sweet! Thanks for the belly laugh. I sure feel better Now don't you worry. We all get tongue-tied. Still got my fingers crossed! ((((Sweetbabygirl)))) |
Sweetbabygirl | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 06:55 am     Didn't get the job; found out this morning. Thanks to all who wished me luck. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 01:05 pm     Bummer SBG.. Sorry. Maybe next time? |
Spygirl | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 02:52 pm     I'm sorry to hear that SBG  |
Mware | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:50 pm     Hi, Everybody! Mrs. Mware and I are celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks, and I've arranged the babysitter, and hired the limo. I was planning on taking her to a restaurant in Newport, RI that we had been to several years ago, but I found out today that it closed. I'm stuck now. I really want to go to Newport, but I don't know any other restaurants down there. I found a bunch of names on the Newport tourist bureau website, but I don't know which ones are any good. I'm looking for a quiet place, romantic, for a dinner for 2. Steaks and seafood would be fine on the menu, and a wine list isn't needed. On the water would be nice, but not required. Anybody ever been there and have a favorite place to recommend? Thank you! |
Heyltslori | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:03 pm     Hi Mware! Congratulations to you and your wife! I don't know of any restaurants in Newport, but I was wondering if you happen to have a brother?  |
Mware | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:07 pm     LOL Lori! |
Wargod | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:19 pm     Isn't Lori so helpful? LOL. Sorry, I have no clue about restaurants in Newport, but wanted to come in and congratulate you and Mrs. Mware! |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:27 pm     ((((SBG)))) mware, congrats, sorry but im not from that area and can't help. |
Pamy | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:10 pm     Does anyone know info on an internet 'sniffer'. We heard our work just started using a sniffer to check on people's internet usage. Rumor has it that it can tell where we have been, how long, etc. and they don't have to be on our computer to tell. They can ck it from a main computer in the systems area |
Urgrace | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Aw Sweetbabygirl,hey it isn't even Thursday yet! That's too bad. Maybe it just wasn't the right one for you and the right one is waiting around the corner. Mware, will you please talk to Hisgrace. It seems all his romantic bones have forgotten how to do something like that. I've never even been to New England, so I can't recommend a particular place, but it might not be a bad idea to call and talk to someone there - like a motel clerk - they know all the best places! |

Squaredsc | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:53 pm     darn so now someone will be sniffing my computer at work, lol. |
