Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I went for an interview for EYFS Coordinator today at 11.00am. I was the last to be interviewed. I rang at 4pm as I still hadn't heard anything and was told the Head had been on a course all afternoon and was now in a staff meeting. I asked could I be rung at home as I was now going home. It's now 7pm and still not heard. Do I give this one up as good experience? Do you think it's rude that they haven't rung me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It takes time sometimes - don't get annoyed, it's just the process. I've always been called at home in the evening. After all it's only in education that i've known same day decisions, in other industries it can take weeks!!! Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 good luck - hope you hear soon and that it is 'good news'! Sunnyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezabel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I certainly wouldn't give up so soon I don't know that it is usual to get a call on the same day as the interview? unless of course they told you they would ring today. Fingers crossed for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Well isnt that strange? I've been wrestling with the same thought today. In the end I gave up hope. Being told yesterday that I would be phoned today lead me to think I would actually be phoned today! Funny that. Anyway at around 4pm I gave up and decided I could now send the application for hospital volunteer work. I'm not defeatist, just practical. Hope you get some good news Edited May 20, 2009 by Rea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hope youve heard something by now but dont give up and if communication really is that bad, maybe its a lucky escape! I was once phoned after 8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hope youve heard something by now but dont give up and if communication really is that bad, maybe its a lucky escape! I was once phoned after 8pm. It's now gone 10pm and still haven't heard anything. If they ring tomorrow I expect a very very good reason why they haven't phoned today in order for me to accept the job. Perhaps they've offered it to someone else and they haven't accepted yet, a phone call or even an email to explain the situation. Will keep you posted as to how it turns out.

Guest Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 just wanted to say good luck - hope you get some good news today Yes I eventually got some news at 3.45pm and that was only after I had phoned them again. I was told at 3.45pm (by EMAIL!!!!!) that I hadn't got the job. I get the feeling I wouldn't have been told at all if I hadn't phoned. Decided it was all doomed from the start. When he was due to come and observe me he got lost, didn't phone to say and it was down to me to phone him to rearrange. Decided I'm probably best out of it. Who wants to work with someone so rude?

dottyp Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Look on the positive side of your experience - If the company are so hap hazzard with their notification process the day to day running of the setting would almost certainly be heading the same way ....... I'm sure you will have better luck next time with a more worthy (and less rude) employer dottyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
