Waiting for an Answer
Dear Sue:
Last week I had an interview at a company I would love to work for. I interviewed with a would-be direct supervisor, as well as two people higher in the department hierarchy. They told me that they wanted me to meet with another person who wasn't available that day.
I was told I didn't need to call, and that they would take care of the arrangements. It has been a week now and I haven't heard from them. Should I call them? If I do what should I say? I really want this job.

Sue Says:
Yes, call them. Tell them that you are following up from the meeting last week. Explain that you were told someone would call to schedule a meeting, but no one has called, so you wanted to do what you could to get the meeting scheduled. Tell them that while you don't want to seem pushy, you also don't want to appear uninterested.
After you call, see what happens. If you don't hear from them then you can assume that they failed to call because they changed their mind. I hope it works out for you.
