So I called the lab today, and they said they've already made a decision. They're just waiting for this other person to call back. Which means now the only way I'm getting this job is for this person and in front of me on the list turns it down. A month delayed while they got more people to apply, whole month preping for an interview, several months waiting for an agent to do a background check...all a waste.

Thanks to everyone for their support, The lab job will reopen for applications in the beginning of next year, and my substitute teacher application is in the mail, but right now I'm just going to enjoy a good sob.

God Bless,

Jackie



Regardless of their decision, send some form of 'Thank You' letter (another one, not just the one you might send right after the interview). Who knows... someone they pick over you might wash out, and they may not want to go to the bother of soliciting applications again. Many employers look at that sort of thing when it comes to rescreening previous applicants (those who bothered to do a proper follow-up).
