UPDATE: New Question...Interview - WWYD

[DietCokeLover]

Update: I called her back Friday afternoon and left another VM. She called me on Monday around 5:30 pm. After a brief discussion, she has some paperwork that she wants me to complete and wants to discuss pay, etc with me then. She suggested coming by my business/ home on Wednesday to do this. A little strange, but I think it is right along her way between two spots, so ok. My question is... Can I stay dressed in my "Mom" wardrobe, or do you think I need to dress professionally? Even with our business when it is open, we dress casually, so my "mom" attire is typically windsuits, yoga pants and a T or something like that. What would you do in this scenario?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted last week about an interview I had that went really well. So, the woman I interviewed with called me yesterday afternoon and left a message to call her back. I called about 45 mins later and got her voicemail. This would have been around 3:15 or so. She has yet to call me back and it is now 11:00 here.

Would you call again, or would you wait and assume she is just busy and will get to it later?

I would call her back and if I got VM again would leave a message telling her what time would be a good time to call back.

"Hi Ms. X! This is DCL, returning your call from yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that I would be available today after noon. Look forward to hearing from you!"

[vludmilla]

I would wait a bit longer. Maybe call in the late afternoon if you haven't heard back from her.

I'd probably wait about 24 hrs before you call again so before end of the day today for sure. Maybe call again around 2 or 3 pm and definitely leave a when a good time to reach you is.

I'd wait a little longer too maybe even Monday morning. She could have been in meetings this morning or she might even have Fridays off.

[TwoBees]

Since it is Friday, I would wait until Monday mid-morning, maybe around 11.

I would call back. One of the things I do in cases like this is say something along the lines of "I know I left you a previous message, but I can be hard to get ahold of so I thought I might catch you directly". In my case this is true, as I dont have a cell phone, but I think its a good thing to say.

I was just coming back on here to see what everyone's advice was. I like this statement. I still haven't heard back from her, and I'm concerned that maybe she didn't get my message or who knows what.

Bumping for update in OP.

I would wear something in-between "work clothes" and "SAHM clothes". Slacks and a blouse for instance, but not so formal like a suit.

[MoJo]

If you don't yet have a firm job offer, I'd dress up at least a little, unless your business requires you to be dressed more casually.

Sounds very hopeful so far!

[ha98ed14]

I would wear khaki pants or chords and a solid/ calm colored turtleneck sweater, or shell and cardigan or similar.

[Indianamom2]

Sounds really encouraging about the job!

I would dress nicely...not a suit, but not yoga pants either. Nice dress pants and a sweater/blouse would be appropriate, IMO.

Good luck!

[ohsara430]

I'd dress in business casual or nice mom clothes. No workout type wear, but jeans with a shirt and cute blazer, sweater or nice top would be ok.

[JustMe]

Another vote for stepping it up just a little with your clothes. It may be slightly inconvenient, but better safe than sorry I say.

On another note, I would be keeping my eyes open for boundary or other related issues on her part. Dropping by your business/home is more than a little odd to me, even if it is in between 2 places she is going.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
