I am pretty sure I am having a panic problem today!

And being that he is a lawyer he will be happy that you are a law abiding citizen Good decision

Hahaha. I never thought of that. :dimples:

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Don't lawyers prefer citizens who are NOT law abiding?

 

[Halo]

Maybe they do in their clients but in their staff they normally prefer law abiding citizens as they don't take kindly to calls for bail :lol:

 

[sunset]

UPDATE.... After all my worrying and feeling sick to my stomach, he NEVER even called me. I had the phone with me all day. Guess he really isnt looking too hard for help.
I am not worrying anymore about it. If he calls, he calls, if he dosent, then that is just rude, and I dont want to work for that type anyway.

Bummer

 

[Halo]

Don't give up too fast yet Sunset. Knowing what I do about Lawyers, things can change on a dime for them and their schedules can be turned upside down in a second. Don't write him off yet but I do think you have a good attitude about if he calls great, if he doesn't, it wasn't meant to be and there are other opportunities out there.

P.S. - I have confidence he will call though

 

[sunset]

Hi Nancy.. That is just how I react to a lot of things. Someone dissapoints and that wall of mine goes up, and I dont want to bother with them anymore. I have been hurt so much, that I think its a natural response for me.

I will see if he calls today. I understand that things come up,and that very well may be what happened.

 

[Halo]

I understand that wall all too well as I do the same thing to avoid being disappointed and hurt however in this case I would try to encourage you not to put that wall up so fast because I would almost bet that something came up yesterday for him and he was just unable to make that call.

I know it is hard when you have the expectation of someone calling but lets keeps our fingers crossed :crossfingers: that the call will come through today. I have faith that he will call

 

[Miette]

I'm sorry he never called after all you have gone through, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that he will call today.

 

[sunset]

Well, its 2:30pm here and still no call.

Not very reliable is he? And I am the one being interviewed??? Sheesh.

 

[sunset]

He never called. I am seeing my T on Thursday and will tell him about it, since he is the one who set it up. Dont think my T is going to be too happy with him.. If the man would rather not hire someone new, and would just like to keep complaining about the help he already has, all he had to do was say so.
At least I know where I stand. I will keep looking for a job... but not with him.

sorry to hear this went this way, it's disappointing for sure. keep trying though - this is how it is with job interviews. it's not just you who's being interviewed, you are in fact interviewing them too, whether they will be the kind of employer you want to work for. it goes both ways.

I totally agree. It obviously wasnt meant to be, and thats ok. Its just annoying that I spent the day dealing with major anxiety because of it.

 

[Halo]

Sunset,

In my opinion, I wouldn't count him out just yet. Although he said that he was going to call on Thursday, you don't know what circumstances or emergencies that may have come up that drew his attention away from making that phone call to you as he anticipated. Granted I may be too optimistic here but I know what its like to work in a law firm and the chaos that can happen if an emergency erupts, all hell breaks loose and the thought of that promised call is unfortunatley the last thing on the lawyers mind and given the holiday weekend, I say give it another day or two.

Take care
:hug: :hug:

 

[Into The Light]

well, i think it wasn't a total waste of your time. maybe this will help you next time when you are going to have an interview. you can remember that you're not the only one being evaluated, and that they need to be on their best behaviour as well if they wish to attract you as an employee.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Nancy has a point: The office probably hasn't been open since Thursday and, being a family weekend for many, he may not even have been in town.

 

[sunset]

LB, I agree. Maybe I will be less nervous the next time around..

Nancy and Dr B... You are way more trusting and understanding than I am. I have written him off, and I would be shocked if he called me now. If this guy dosent have 5 minutes to spare to make a call he said he would make, then he needs a lot more help than just me.
Maybe the girl who works for him is decent and he just likes to complain about her. For a professional, I would think he would DO something about her if she were the problem, but he chooses to complain and keep her. Dosent make much sense to me.

 

[Halo]

Sunset,

I work for lawyers so I am can be a little more understanding of how their days go. They may have an agenda of all what they intend to accomplish in a day but if something goes haywire on another file the agenda gets blown out the window and everyones focus (including the assistant's) is on the crisis. It is nothing person towards the numerous people that the lawyer was intending to call or write to that day.

Yes I guess I am more trusting and understanding being that I work in this field. Again, don't write him off just yet....give him another day or two, then you can write him off and say good riddens

My opinion of course

 

[sunset]

Ok Nancy.. I will let you know in a couple of days. lol!

 

[Halo]

Thank you Sunset......lets hold out for a couple more days and if he doesn't call them you can write him off completely

:hug: :hug: (have faith...he will call...I know it )

 

[sunset]

Well Nancy, its now Thursday and no call. Can I write him off now?:think:
