    er not yet - she just hasn't heard yet

    it is not unknown in business (especially with a nice summer spell on) for decisions to get delayed.

    I wish you luck Choyaa whichever way it goes - please don't beat yourself up if it doesn't go your way. And please don't let any one else beat yourself up for you - there does seem to be a queue forming
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    The interview sounded like a nightmare, completely overshooting the allocated time, choyaa is dead in the water.

    Tell me have you actually ever had an interview for a job where some element of judgement is required in making the decision

    Based on my experience from what Choyaa said she is finished.

    4. No response from company four days after interview despite being told contact within a week and the company are on holiday now for several days.

    That really isn't unusual - I've taken longer than initially stated to let people know about a job role. Sometimes it's because another candidate has rearranged the interview for a later date, occasionally because I've offered the role and don't want to turn down the candidate who came a close second in case the first person declines the job, sometimes it's because work is completely manic and I just don't get letters sent as quickly as I should.
    I'm starting to wonder if there's more than one version of you on here, the way a couple of you follow each other round then a new poster turns up just to hammer the point home.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Pretty much substantiating what I've said, the job has been offered to someone else.

    Not necessarily so - I have know a 2 week wait because 2 candidates were so close the interviewing officers could not make a decision between them.

    Even taking into account what Choyaa said about how poorly the interview went?

    Granted it was an uncomfortable interview.

    I tried to counter my lack of answers on specifics regarding the company at the end by asking about training and I got a detailed answer with even names of who would be carrying it out (people I had not met).
