    How long do you normally have to wait between interview and them telling you the outcome?

    How long's a piece of string???

    I try and tell people within 3 working days of the interview.

    I once waited 3 months just to be told I had a job, and another 3 months to actually move into it.

    I applied in April, waited a month for an interview and so I was hoping they might tell me the answer fairly quickly. If it takes too long everyone who wanted the job is not going to want it anymore.

    Surely it does not take forever to send a yes or no email.

    I agree

    And relish the best bit "is there anything you want to know about the company"

    and tactfully bring up whether you should be on an increased salary to what you are on now as you are already pre-trained in that exact job :cool:
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I thought it best not to ask what I really wanted to know, namely, as this only a weekend job can I come in unpaid on the weekdays to help out?


    I thought best not to as it looks too keen, but I am hoping with a touch of luck it might build into a full time job if I push at them enough.
