Waiting for the call...post interview


Three weeks ago I interviewed at another company. I have worked at my current employer for almost nine years and I LOVE it, however, I am ready for a challenge so I interviewed elsewhere. The day of my first interview I was asked to come back the following week for a second interview. I felt like they both went fine but it is always hard to tell. The same day as my second interview I was asked to take a personality/IQ test called the Caliper Assessment. It was a lengthy but I felt like I did fine on it as well. It has now been a week and a half since I took the test so I decided to email the hiring manager for an update (I was very professional about it, of course). She quickly emailed me back with the following:

I’d like to set up a quick time to chat tomorrow via phone, about 5 minutes. Do you have a time that would work well for you? I have from 9-10 or from 11-12 available.


Of course, I can't help but analyze this message.


1. Quick time to chat, about 5 minutes. Is this so she can quickly tell me they have decided on someone else?


2. Do you have a time that would work well for you? I have from 9-10 or from 11-12 available. If she is not interested why didn't she just call me quickly to get it over with?


I find out tomorrow, 9:15. Ahhhhhh! I am not sure what is harder, knowing I find out tomorrow or not knowing and playing the waiting game. I am fine with either decision but I feel like this could be an exciting new adventure for me!


I will keep you updated! Please cross your fingers....

*Update* I called and she let me know that she just wanted to tell me over the phone instead of via email that the process is taking longer than they had anticipated and I am still in the running. They will let me know when they have reached a decision. Back to waiting! = )

  1. Waiting games are hard. I hope they let you know something...anything, soon.

    Tomorrow is another big day, right?
