Here’s the set up…I’ve interviewed for a position with a non-profit. First interview went fantastic. I met with the CEO (whom I actually know socially, but we’re not “friends” like that) and another employee, R, who was very impressed with my work at previous non-profits. The second interveiw (five days later) was with two members of the Personnel committe and R. Again, I felt that the interview went well. Fast forward to this morning, when the phone rings. It’s the CEO who says she tried to call me yesterday (Sunday, at home), but got a busy signal, but wants to “meet with you again”, and can I come in at any time today?
We have an appointment for 4:30 this afternoon.
I’m dying here, because she didn’t say I did have the position, but didn’t say I didn’t have the position. I’ve never heard of someone making an appointment to tell the prospective employee that they didn’t have the position, but nor have I ever had to make an appointment to come in and talk to them about getting a position. I don’t know what to think, and 4:30 isn’t getting here fast enough.
Any ideas?
