And they said they'd let me know "early next [ie this] week"
I can't believe they're going to leave me hanging for the weekend

Good luck OP Star I’m in the same boat! Interviewed last Friday and said they’d let me know Monday just gone. Heard nothing but too nervous to phone and ask. Will bite the bullet and do it tomorrow...

Good luck and report back

Thanks for asking - nothing yet. I’ve left a message for the person with the answer. It’s a school so maybe I’ll get a call late afternoon. I’ve accepted I haven’t got it but I want to make a point about following through with the promise she made to let me know either way. She told me she’d only interviewed three so that’s a pretty poor show IMO if she hasn’t let the two rejections know. Hope your second interview went well!

StealthPolarBear · 23/11/2018 14:50

Yes I do get they can't feed back to everyone who applied but following an interview they definitely should.
It could have gone worse, but it Co ld have gone better thanks for asking. Not hopeful. I will find out on Monday so another weekend of obsessing :(

Fingers crossed for you, Stealth.

Bunnyhop1502 · 23/11/2018 14:53

Oh god that’s torture! I’ve never been confident after interviews but I’ve been lucky in the past with getting jobs I’ve gone for. I have a sneaking suspicion that since I’ve had my children I’ve become a risky employee. Every interview I’ve had now has asked how secure my childcare arrangements are. I may stop mentioning them 🤷🏻‍♀️

StealthPolarBear · 23/11/2018 15:00

That's naughty!! Luckily I work for an extremely flexible and family friendly organisation. So if I don't get it it will just be down to me :)

So this is relaxation is it? I'd forgotten

OP posts:
Penisbeakerismyfavethread · 23/11/2018 18:29

How are you both feeling? Any news?

StealthPolarBear · 23/11/2018 18:51

Relaxed :) and they're making me wait until Monday. I think I blew it but at this stage I'm just pleased it's over

OP posts:
BerriBorri · 24/11/2018 07:44

I have to admit I’m amazed any job is taking this long! Sounds painful

StealthPolarBear · 25/11/2018 00:11

They advertised it in August. Yes, August

OP posts:
eloliphant · 26/11/2018 19:10

Any update?

StealthPolarBear · 26/11/2018 19:17

I didn't get it :( I'm devestated.
Bunny, hope your news was better
