Please post the email you sent.
I bet it asked something about how much vacation time he would get if he got the job and if he could work noon-8PM

You don't give the boy enough credit.
- The Sleeper - 02-19-2004
yea, you're right, I'll never get a job
- GonzoStyle - 02-19-2004
not with that attitude.
- The Sleeper - 02-19-2004
yea seriously, i will be unemployed the rest of my life
- theDude - 02-19-2004
Always good to ask in the follow-up email, "Umm... I forgot to ask earlier... do you guys do drug testing?"
- GonzoStyle - 02-19-2004
never a good idea to answer questions with "thats stupid" or "why? thats stupid" or "you're stupid!!"
- Keyser Soze - 02-19-2004
emailing them was a horrible idea, you should have called. you need to be more aggressive and follow what gonzo has said in this thread already. i don't think you sincerely want this job otherwise you'd be making more of an effort, either that or you just have a passive aggressive personality where you only approach things with assertiveness behind the security of non-human interaction (message boards, email, etc...)

Maybe he's just getting used to the whole deal. It's not always clear what's appropriate to do.
And for the record Sleeper, my last job was working for a huge university. When I was hired it took them 5 months total to wrap everything up. I had 3 interviews, but from the time I had my first until I knew for sure I'd get my 2nd it took 3 weeks to get a response. Meanwhile I callled every week to follow up.
You could easily follow up the email with a phone call tomorrow. Say that you wanted to be sure they knew you were serious about your interest. I wouldn't push it further than 2 contacts this week though.

I blame it on that crazy music you listen to.
- The Sleeper - 02-19-2004
it might be a crazy concept, but not everyone shares your personality.
- IrishAlkey - 02-19-2004
And that is why we have wars.
