          The missus has been for a permie interview (non-IT), start date Jan 2010. Job was advertised (through agent) last Weds 18th Nov, she sent in her CV on the Thurs 19th and got immediate response with a request to meet agent on Friday 20th morning.

          Met agent on Fri 20th, CV was submitted to client on Fri 20th.

          On Tues 24th she gets a call for interview with client for Thursday 26th.

          Attends interview with client on Thurs 26th and is positive with the role, she is told she will know outcome on Friday 27th (end of week) as manager is away on holiday for a week after. Second interviews will commence w/c Mon 14th Dec after his holiday.

          No call on Friday 27th, so she calls agent on Fri afternoon and is told that client is busy, has cancelled his holiday and will get back to them next week with a decision.

          Weds 2nd Dec now, and still no news.

          Thoughts? Is this a loss-leader? Or do you think she is potentially still in the running for the position?


          she did'nt get the job. they thought she'd get to bored?!

          job hasnt been offered to anyone else. interviews still commencing.

              Decision was made before he got intouch - no harm was done just following up directly. As i know his email address, ive told my missus to follow it up directly anyways.

                Why waste time on a failure? It's not going to acheive anything except possibly make them think slightly less of her

                Tell her to leave it, move on and get looking somewhere else

                  why would you think less of someone who took the time out to send you an email thanking you for your time and asking for constructive feedback?

                    a) she's through an agency and feedback should be through them
                    b) she's been told she hasn't got it
                    c) her husband went and got direct contact details through indirect channels
                    d) constructive feedback will probably be something pointlessly inoffensive like "you didn't quite have the right experience for our organisation" instead of "we don't think you're intelligent enough or a good fit for the office"

                    Forget it, move on , they lost, your wife has got to concentrate on those people who (might) want to employ her rather than those who don't

                      do you think that my wife being russian might have anything to do with her not getting the job?
