I had an interview a few weeks ago. They told me they hoped to be in touch by the end of the next week when they had completed their interviews. I called up at the end of the week and was told the two interviewers were in fact on holiday- one for two weeks and the other back on Monday. I sent an email on the Monday to the one who was coming back and she said that they had two interviews planned for when the other interviewer was back and that they would be in touch after 9th July.
I know someone who works there and I spoke to her and she said that she'd been told that I came across well but that they didn't think I'd be on the job market long (ha!).
Having heard nothing further I emailed yesterday to see whether there had been any progress but have not had a response.
How would you read this? Is there even any point in double guessing (probably not)? I'm moping around waiting to find out, and don't want to be seen to pester. I'm not sure whether to call up, or whether to call my friend- but I don't want to put her in a difficult position (I did text her about something else the other day and during our exchange asked her whether she thought it would be good news and she hasn't texted back).
I'm starting to feel that they have messed me around- I do have some other opportunities but this one is my favoured one and I don't really want to pursue the others any further until i know one way or another about the other job as they involve ex-colleagues and I don't want to mess them around. Is this a normal interview process and is it usual to have to wait almost a month for a decision? I feel like they're making me hang around and I'm not exactly feeling wanted by them....
Sorry, this is rambling and I know that nothing I say or do can change the outcome- I just need to be patient. But it's hard as I'm trying to sort out childcare for a job i may or may not get and the hours of which have yet to be decided...... Aaargh.
