Last week, I found a job online that is PERFECT for me, would give me the pay I need and have me working back IN TOWN, rather than continue my hellacious daily 110-mile round trip. I'd have those two hours a day back in my LIFE, not in my CAR. I'd be able to stop spending so much money on gas (appx. $45 a week at this point, going up as we speak).
I was so excited, I e-mailed my resume literally 10 minutes after I saw the posting. I followed with a voice mail two days later. That was last week Wednesday and Friday. Nothing yet.
I had my hopes so high for this one at first. It is absolutely perfect for me, and draws on not only my customer service experience, but my experience in an industry I really didn't want to leave, but the only move that could be made in the company I worked for was OUT (there was no "up" unless I wanted to work twice the hours for maybe $5K more a year and nowhere "up" to go after that).
Maybe it's because with the internet age I've come to expect instant communication gratification, but I mean really, come on - I e-mailed him my resume a week ago tomorrow, AND followed up with a voice mail. It's a small company so I'm guessing there aren't a lot of applicants, and with my qualifications and experience I was sure I'd have heard something by now. I got my hopes up, and now they're fading.
Since I e-mailed my resume last Wednesday, and followed with a voice mail last Friday (basically said "hi, I'm Kat, I e-mailed you my resume and am very interested in interviewing for this position. Please call me at..., I look forward to hearing from you"), when can I leave him another message and not look like a total desperate stalker??
I REALLY want this job.
