Well I did the on site interview last Friday, a week ago, and I thought it went very well. That evening I had another phone interview, this time with the intercompany funding controller, which I also thought went very well. I came away from both thinking that this is the type of role with which I am very familiar, and I could easily imagine myself working with these people. I was told that the next stage would be an onsite HR interview, and after that there was a possibility that the Irish M.D.'s boss in the US might want to talk to the successful candidate.
So it's been a week, and I have heard nothing from them since. Diddly squat. I really don't know what to do now, and the waiting is just driving me insane. If I was going through an agency, I would be ringing the agency now to get them to chase it up. Would it be very forward of me to call them at this stage to try and get an update? If they had six candidates to interview, and even if I was the first one a week ago, shouldn't they have come to some decision by now? Patience really is not a virtue of mine.

Ah the waiting! We seem to be always waiting for something...I would give it another few days, if you have heard nothing by the middle of next week give them a call to see what the situation is (you can say something like you are going to be away for a few days and just want to make sure you won't be missing a call etc). It sounds very good though, I'm keeping everything crossed!
ReplyDeleteFran said it better than I could Jane..we seem to be always waiting for somthing! Am keeping my fingers crossed for you too hon x
ReplyDeleteI don't think giving them a call would be a bad thing at all. It might work in your favour - show that you are keen and keep yourself in the forefront of your mind. Chances are getting hold of such senior people is just taking a bit of time. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteWell I took the plunge and rang and left a message on the M.D.'s voicemail. He rang back and left me another voicemail, saying that they had only just finished interviewing the last candidate that day, and that person still had to have the phone interview with the intercompany controller in the US. That's happening today, so by Wednesday they should have a decision as to who's through to the next stage. It's worse than fecking X Factor!
