Now What...........

[CLEARVIEW82]

Need some advice brothers. I had a interview less than a week ago, i think it went well, other than being nervous as he11. I was prepared for every question but one and think i had a good response to that one. Overall i was happy with my preformance.I'm not sure how many were interviewed i heard eight for two spots and three for two spots so who knows.The panel didnt give me a time frame and i was not asking any questions. So do i just sit back and wait or do i call a week or two later, do i send thank you notes as in business interviews? Any help is appreciated, thank's in advance!

Mike:

First step back and slow down man; way down. Now take a deep breath. Stop looking at the phone and waiting for the mailman.

So do i just sit back and wait or do i call a week or two later,

Sit back and wait. It will probably take more time than you think. You don't want to be know as the person who couldn't wait.

do i send thank you notes as in business interviews?

This is not a business interview. The decision was probably made before you got home.

Hope is the Anchor to the Soul

Rick had been testing for a while without much luck. Then, a
firefighter took him aside and directed him to out web site. He
immediately saw why he wasn’t succeeding.

Rick started testing with his big city dream department 19 months ago
with 4500 other candidates. Things finally made it to the chiefs oral. He had all his ducks in a row. He heard after his oral that one of the panel members said if all the candidates today could be like Rick, we’re going to have a great day. The job offer came conditional on the medical and psych.

The results for the final psych test were due out the following Monday and calls would be made. Monday came and went. Just hold tight and don’t panic. When he finally called he found out the HR gal had gone on a weeks vacation and the envelope was sitting on her desk. Several days passed after her return. Nothing. Everything imaginable went through Rick’s head. Rick and his wife experienced every symptom of stress.

Out of the blue on the Thursday before Christmas the phone rings. He
got the call! All fears disappeared followed by screams and shouting.

Rick was number one by a bunch of points.

Rick is five foot two inches and weighs 118 pounds! Academy started Jan 30th.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
