Anxiously waiting for a important call...

Had an interview Wednesday for my dream job, was told i would get a call today telling me if i was successful. What time do you think they will call before? The wait is killing me... i thought they would call first thing and put us out our misery. Was 7 people interviewed for the role. Do you think they would call the successful or unsuccessful candidates first?

Good luck! It’s not the same but we’ve been waiting to hear if the seller of our dream house has accepted our offer so I know exactly how you feel. Fingers crossed they call soon with good news for you!

I was chatting to a neighbor the other day about random stuff, garden, kids, school etc. He then explained he had 5 people to call after he had interviewed them; he clearly was not in a rush. This was about 12.30.

I would not read anything into when you get the call. You never know she may just be gossiping with a neighbour 🤣

anxywait · 04/09/2020 13:31

Imagine i somehow miss the call after all this waiting!!

Good luck OP. I’m waiting to hear if I’ve got through to the next round of interviews for a job so I’m equally antsy every time I check my emails.

madcatladyforever · 04/09/2020 13:41

I waited a month once for a job I really wanted. I assumed I didn't get it as they never contacted me then they rang the month after to say you've got the job.
I wondered WTAF they were playing at.
