I received a conditional job offer from a UK university on 8th April. The email stated the employment particulars including a start date and that a contract would be sent in the next 48 hours. I have received nothing since. I've emailed and phoned the recruitment department in HR, but can't get through to anyone.
I get they may be waiting on references to come back or have staff off sick etc., but AIBU in thinking that I should just start looking for something else? Surely they'd let me know if they'd found someone else for the role? It's my first professional position so I'm just worried it's not going to come to anything...
