Job searching is so tough and hard on the morale.

That way, he is giving the principal a little more time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2554591 Mon, 23 May 2016 11:13:14 +0000 IRunForFun 2554591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I wouldn't assume anything. We just had this situation where my DH was told he'd hear within a week, which would have been this past Thursday, but he didn't hear until today. There was a hold up getting in touch with one of his references, apparently.</p> <p>Good luck, I hope your DH gets it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2554520 Mon, 23 May 2016 09:01:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2554520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: is he gonna call? or still waiting? </p> <p>I feel like there is still hope; sometimes people just get tied up....? I am hopeful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553911 Sat, 21 May 2016 22:00:36 +0000 raspberries 2553911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely don't assume he hasn't gotten it! I'm in HR, and there are so many factors that can delay a phone call - decision makers getting sick, references not being reached, questions about salary getting delayed and pushed around before final decisions are made, etc. Have him send a checking in email/phone call in mid next week if you haven't heard yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553792 Sat, 21 May 2016 15:39:41 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2553792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In education all rules are off! I recently got a new jobeithin my district and it took nearly two months to get an interview and then they called nearly a week after they said they would to offer the position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553753 Sat, 21 May 2016 13:17:45 +0000 Mama Bird 2553753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry about the waiting game! It's certainly possible they're just not giving him the job, unfortunately, but it could also be just a delay - maybe the person doing the hiring got sick, or the decision is delayed on their end because another candidate rescheduled their interview... In any case, good luck! It's so tough out there these days, but what can you do but keep trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553750 Sat, 21 May 2016 13:13:32 +0000 catomd00 2553750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait until Wednesday and follow up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553735 Sat, 21 May 2016 12:41:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2553735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: yes!

I'd think that maybe they were struggling with a final decision, waiting on a business head to weigh in, got sidetracked with normal business, etc.<br /> I would give it a couple of days (maybe till Weds) and then politely reach out and ask if a decision has been made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553595 Sat, 21 May 2016 05:44:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2553595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Give it a few extra days but if he really wants it have him call Monday to see if he can answer any more questions or provide any more info </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553590 Sat, 21 May 2016 05:26:45 +0000 hellobeeboston 2553590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'd give them a few more business days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553580 Sat, 21 May 2016 01:47:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2553580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes decisions are delayed. :goodluck: </p> <p>A friend of mine once followed up on an interview all to find out the hiring manager went on vacation before making a decision. Not too long ago a job I was up for had a delayed final decision because the first pick declined. </p> <p>Your husband can always follow up with a concise email inquiry. Is the position still available?/ Im the perfect fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553579 Sat, 21 May 2016 01:24:24 +0000 lilteacherbee 2553579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I feel like I remember your husband is a teacher? or maybe I'm making that up? Unfortunately, in my experience, when I interviewed for a lot of teacher jobs right out of college, I was told they would let me know and probably 75% of the time, I never heard back. I really hope your situation is different and there's just something holding the process up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553569 Fri, 20 May 2016 23:11:47 +0000 simplyfelicity 2553569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: @MamaCate: Thanks for the good thoughts, ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553563 Fri, 20 May 2016 22:38:01 +0000 MamaCate 2553563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: ugh this is so stressful! As a supervisor I have been in situations where I said this and then six other emergencies happened which prevented me from doing whatever I needed to move forward (check references/paperwork/etc.). So don't give up hope but a nice follow up email/call next week couldn't hurt. </p> <p>Fingers crossed! Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-assume-you-didnt-get-the-job-if#post-2553561 Fri, 20 May 2016 22:31:28 +0000 Jess1483 2553561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told once definitely by Monday. I was so upset when I didn't hear. They called me Wednesday--they'd been struggling to get in touch with a reference. Thinking of you! </p>
