    Still waiting...

    Interview last wednesday went OK; agent just called and said they found me a strong candidate but have 2 more candidates tomorrow and thursday; then they decide. I'm not used to waiting this long, but it could be a really good gig.

    Cross fingers and hope.

    Fingers crossed, but I hate that "we have a few others to interview" line. I usually take that to mean keep looking - if they thought I was that good, then why the need to continue interviews?
    The close proximity of the letters 'G' and 'T' are the reason I'll never again send an important email and end it with "Regards" ....

      I'm lucky, they usually can't find anyone else to interview.

        They have to interview 2 people from each company on the PSL.

          That's quite a bit of competition. You'll have earned this one if you get it. Good luck!

            Yip, usually means you are boderline. They want to keep you hanging on as you are in the possible list. If you were perfect for the job, you'd be offered it there and then. Now this isn't necessary based on your skills and ability it could be a multitude of reasons.

            Best of luck anyway.

              So they have to resort to interviewing you
              Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

              Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

                Yes, or else they´re enjoying the luxury of a market with plentiful supply and think maybe the ideal match is to be found somewhere.

                    At least your job is secure ....... no one else wants it.
