Bang bang bang (sound of my head on my desk)
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 02:00 PM by HEyHEY
I just called a place that I had sent a resume too. I asked the woman if they had yet made a decision. I was expecting her to say yes and I was calling to find out why I hadn't been hired. She said "No we haven't, we're just looking through resumes this afternoon, I belive yours is on the top"

I couldn't think of anything to say so I was just like "Oh, okay then I guess I'll talk to you later"

Goddamit....wit and charm where were you when I needed you most!?

Hope she doesn't think I'm some kinda dipshit.

1. Don't worry about it
It was good that you called. To me, it does not sound bad.

Stay positive.

6. Did you at least thank her for her time?
:spank:

Nah, the fact that you called is a good thing. Shows you are interested. And, hey, yours is on top. ;-)

11. Don't worry. A dipshit answer would have sounded something like....
..."You're just now lookin' at them? It's about fuckin' time!"

or

"How do I know you're tellin' the truth? Is it really on top, or are you pullin' my leg, skank?

THOSE would have been inappropriate responses. Don't worry, dude. You may want to call back in a couple of days and do a low-pressure inquiry, and offer to provide them with any further info or references if they need them. Always worked for me...

Best of luck.

13. You shoulda said:
"Oh, okay then I guess I'll talk to you later." You did? Fine. What else is there to say?
