I have two jobs I'm looking at right now, Job #1 I'm going in on my 3rd interview today, and should be able to get I think, It's a job I would take over my current one, but maybe not the industry I'd want.

Job #2 I interviewed last week, the guy ask me all the questions showed me around, said he was going to talk to his manager and all this about money and an offer, and asked if the number on my resume was the best contact, etc. This would be the industry I'd be more interested in, and would pay better, but haven't heard back from the guy at all.. Should I call and ask? Didn't get his email so can't do that, or wait it out.

PIIHB and tell her to make you a sandwich.














Oh sorry, wrong "auto response" to when an OTer asks for advice. Carry on.

I think I'd be happier at least, but industry wise I'm not sure I could grow much.

That's what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure that didn't sound desperate.

who knows? maybe knowing that you have another offer on the table will speed the process up a bit?

Do you know his first/last name and have anyone at the company's email? Emails really aren't that hard to figure out with small to medium sized companies everyone typically has the same email format.

Did you follow up with a thank you note of some kind? That is a must in most situations. Since you didn't get his email, you should/should have mailed him one.

If you haven't already sent him a thank you note, you should call to tell him that you weren't able to send him a follow up/thank you note because you didn't have his direct contact info, so you are calling just to say thanks, etc...and then that will likely segue into a conversation about where they are in the process.

If you have already followed up, I still think it's fine to call and ask where they are in the process.

If #2 hasn't contacted you by next Monday call and explain your situation to him/her.

I'd do a hand written letter to the person you interviewed with thanking them for their time and consideration in you as a potential hire.
