Have I mentioned how short my patience can get in certain situations. It often amazes me how I can have all the patience in the world with things that are seriously meticulous but with other things I am tapping my fingers, blowing and pacing needing a response immediately. It's a struggle for me but I will get better at it I promise. So I had that wonderful behavior based interview last week for that amazing job that I want extremely badly and I haven't heard anything yet. I guess that's the hardest part of applying for jobs is that you have to wait until they get ready to get back with you. I wish there was a way to hurry the process but I suppose that highlights my constant need for control in certain situations. As I skim the internet for answers as I always do when I have questions, there seems to be no standard wait time. I have heard though that it is a good idea to send a Thank You to the interviewer because they didn't have to take the time to interview you and it shows that you do indeed still have interest in that particular position. Honestly I don't think there are any sure fire tips to getting a call back or keeping your interview fresh in the interviewers mind with the current state of affairs in terms of unemployment in the US right now. My best advice is to put your best foot forward when doing any interview but continue to apply for positions so you will have more options. The search for me continues even though I am drawn to the potential of that particular position all I can do is wait and see. So until next time...Happy Hunting!Tuesday, May 10, 2011

I wish you much success on your job search, I know how frustrating that may be. So you used to live here and moved to Vegas, I was considering Vegas. What field are you in?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Thanks for the well wishes Inez and it is indeed very frustrating. Yeah I lived in Michigan for a while and then my fiance got a position out here so Vegas here we are. I am in the Criminal Justice/Social Services field.
