anxiously waiting for the interview. Should I call the principal?

[juviasama]

Hello every wonderful nurses, I need help!

I had an interview on June 5th with the nurse supervisor/coordinator for a school nursing position. It seemed to go well. But she told me it's just a pre-screening interview then she will send out my answers and my data to the principals and the principals will contact me for the interview if they're interested.

She gave me her business card and she told me to reach out if I didn't hear anything within a week because it might be the admin's busy and she didn't like it when they conducted the interview at the last minute. One week passed by, I didn't hear anything. I tried to reach the nurse supervisor simply because I'm not sure whom to call. She wasn't there, her assistant answered the phone and she just said that the nurse supervisor has sent all the names to the principals and we can only wait until the principals call.

But... I still want to reach out... I'd rather find out if they want to move forward with other applicants than keeping me in the dark here.

Do you think I should just cold-call the principals (even though I don't know their names) or.. what should I do? Please advise

I would look at the school website that has a school nurse opening. You can email the principal, however I wouldn't call. Email an introduction, interest in their school, and attach your resume.

at the school website, they didn't specifically mention the name of the schools. they just put multiple locations. Thank you for responding my message, and for giving me a valuable suggestion.

update: I did what you said. I emailed the principal and on the very same day, her assistant called to schedule an interview with me. So this morning I met the principal for less than 30 minutes and she said she's still interviewing the other 4 candidates and will make decision today. But she hasn't called me yet, so I don't know what to expect ?
