That's like telling a fish not to swim! :eek:
Can't do it. I've tried, failed, tried again, gave up.
I am a certified smart arse, you're get used to it. ;)

"On a bright note. The company I had the interview with is calling my references, so maybe I didn't do to badly after all."
Great! Now do as I suggested... call them back and just say that you are very interested and that you wanted to check...
If you are getting good reports... calling now could help you a lot.
I know that when I hire I like to see initiative... goes a long way with me.

I normally would Stringer, but they're hiring 50 people just for my position and then 300 nurses for the actual immunization portion of the job. They have a lot on their plate. I'm actually really surprised they called all my references.
I was thinking I'd give it another week, then email as it's less intrusive. I don't want to be the applicant that annoys the crap out of them by calling while their this busy. ;)
I'm getting a better feeling about the whole thing. My one reference basically told them they were idiots if they didn't hire me. The lady that called said she agreed. It's sounding promising. :)
Fingers crossed. That's what I'm doing now.

Wrong thought process hon, way wrong. Make a short phone call, it won't bother them, it WILL show interest... just call, believe me.

Good luck Alty. I bet you will get it for sure.
It can go both ways on calling about it. I like to call about a week after I apply to check on it and that is it. I had one guy call EVERY day to check on his application. Do you think I chose him as a hiring choice? Well, I think you can figure that one out.
Anyway peeps. I am out the door as well. I will talk to whoever is here in the morning.

Exactly. A short phone call will do greatly. Never repetitive or anything.

You should listen when someone is trying to help. You now know more than you did before.
"Stringer-Business expert" :):) but it was more, just wanted you to get the job and be happy... is that possible... :D:)
Luv you.
