no call after my interview

[yarong321]

I'm just frustrated right now....

i went to interview two weeks ago... I thought it went well...and also gave nurse manager

a recommendation letter...(she said she will look at it)

and she asked me if I wanted to shadow a nurse....so I told her "yes"

then

Nurse manager told me....to call her if I would like to have a position after shadowing a nurse.....

After I shadow a nurse...I called nurse manager back and told her

I would be very interested in it........(this was last monday)

and

Nurse manager said..."we will make decision probably next monday

and give you a call"

now its friday (11 days after) did not hear or recieved any calls...

Iam very frustrated and feel like a looser

it was my first job interview and i DID practice practice (but i dont know

if nurse manager liked it or not.......I was very nervous)

I wanted this job so much......(my dream was to become a cardiac nurse)

Do you guys have any recommendations? should I call nurse manage following monday?

I'm just scared to call her again...

or email her?....(I just dont know what to say....)

I just dont like when things just goes out of my plan....

.I just want a call ....telling me

if I got hired or not......( i know i didnt since it is taking them longgggggg timmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

my friend told me to wait till next tuesday and call...(she said sometimes they take longer than what they said)...

I really don;t know what to do....besides keep applying for another jobs....

First of all, things are never going to go as planned all of the time. Nursing is a world of improv :) call the manager. Persistence is key

thanks RileyRN2013.......

I called the nurse manager and left a voicemail..two hours ago...hopefully she ...calls me back ....

I really think...she should call me back even though she is not going to hire me..

it does not take a long time to call or email someone and say they're not interested in hiring me

if she doesnt call me back until next tuesday......I will either give up or email her.....

..I'm just paranoid..and frustrated...

I would never dream of calling anybody, for any reason (date, job, etc.), that had told me to expect a call from them that never came. That's groveling- and for no benefit, since obviously they want nothing more to do with you. "I'll call you" translated means: "Adios, Amigo- and don't let the door hit you in the behind as you leave!". The games people play.

You didn't do anything wrong. The problem is with the manager that conducted the interview - and failed to uphold a promise to follow up with you. This really tics me off! Obligations like this should never be taken lightly - people deserve respect. I know it is not very comforting, but working for a person like that would undoubtedly be very dissatisfying if this is an example of her disregard of obligations and lack of respect for others.

Hope you get that 'perfect' job very soon!
