i live in maryland heights, mo. i had a job interview with charter communications on may 8th. they told me they would contact me by the end of next week....the next week was the week of may 15th.

so i called back on this past monday to get an update and the hiring manager says they are still in the process of everything and she hopes to contact the qualified candidates by the end of this  week because she is on vacation next week.

i have not received a call yet, and i believe my interview went really well. and since i havent heard that i DONT have the job, my hopes are high that i did get the position. who should i contact next week to see about the status of the open position?? or should i just wait ANOTHER long drawn out week?Huh

Unfortunately this is the way most companies treat job interviews.  I had the same thing happen to me and I waited over a month only to finally find out that they hired within the company.  They receive so many applications for jobs, especially in this day and time, that they simply can\'t respond to each individual.  I\'d say keep on looking. If they were excited to hire you....they wouldn\'t put you off.  Don\'t pass up a possible hire waiting to hear from them. She clearly said they\'d contact the qualified candidates by the end of this week and if they didn\'t contact you, then there must have been those more qualified.  I wish you all the best!

Let me share from the viewpoint of a former recruiter.

A lot of times, there are a lot of issues involved as to why someone does not make a decision right away.

Often, more than one person is involved in the decision-making process, and those people typically have a lot more work than just the interview for one position. I know it\'s hard to wait, but, I can tell you that when I was working as a recruiter, I often worked 12-hour days with an hour\'s commute one way. I barely saw my family. So, it\'s not always possible to get to things as quickly as they state at first. Oftentimes, other projects take precedence, especially if other issues have to be resolved right away, or if one of the decision makers has not yet made a decision.

You\'ve got nothing to lose by contacting the company and making an upbeat polite inquiry. You also may find that you are still in the running, by the leading person has not yet accepted the job offer, and when the interviewer\'s vacation time came, they had not yet made a decision.

In other words, there are a lot of reasons why they have not notified you yet. So, I would continue the job search. If it turns out that you receive a job offer from Charter later on, you can always decide at that time whether or not to accept the job offer.

As a professional recruiter with 15 years of experience and regardless of how busy a manger or recruiter is any candidate that personally interviewed for a position deserves the common courtesy of the learning of the final outcome. The manager made a comment and a mistake because he said she would try to contact the qualified candidates by the end of the week; no mention of the candidates that don\'t make the cut.

Personally I would wait longer before calling but if you have the manger\'s e-mail address try sending e-mail. Politely and diplomatically inquire about where they are in the decision making process and anticipated date when you should expect to know about your status. I would make sure to express your continued interest in the position; however, tell her that since you are interviewing with other companies, one has moved you quckly through the interview process and looks like you are moving to offer stage. (don\'t look desperate make it look as if you have other options but your first choice would be with the company that you actually interviewed with) Becareful on how you word this; make sure you let her know that working for her is your first preference but other options are in the horizon. Don\'t present it at as ultimative; make me an offer now or I will take another offer.
This benefits you in a couple ways; first it makes you look like a wanted commoditity. Second, if the company is truly interested in you it might motivate them to expedite their decision making process. Third, if they aren\'t interested, it will be easier for the manager to tell you that you aren\'t being considered since she thinks you might have another opportunity.

Making calls to tell candidates they didn\'t get a job is the worst part of recruiting but whether it\'s a phone call or e-mail you deserve closure.

If she doesn\'t respond to your e-mail; wait at least a week and then call.
