Should I send this?

The \/\/anderer

I attended an interview about two months ago. Two weeks after the interview, I had not heard back from HR, so I sent an email inquiring about the outcome of the interview. I was told that they had not come to a decision yet, and they would be in touch in due course.

After waiting around for another few weeks, I still had no correspondence from HR, so I sent another email just before Christmas. This was ignored - no reply.

At this stage it's been two months since the interview, so I'm sure I won't be offered the job. However, after going out of my way to attend the interview, I'm p1ssed off that I have not heard back about it.

Basically I am going to send another email to HR to ask them for a proper response about the interview. Strongly worded but polite. At the end of the email I was going to say something like: 'I would appreciate a response to this email if you can find time in your busy schedule to actually do your job'.

Is this too much?

If you think you may be in contact with the company for work again in the future dont do it, also you dont know where that HR person who reads it may work in the future and remember your name.

Not worth it IMHO

Think about how you would react if you received such a mail.

I think you know the answer to your own question.

Ring them....

So would it be ok to end the email with:
'I would appreciate a response to this email, Regards, The \/\/anderer'

Yes. If I received such an email, I would never look at anything you wrote again.

Something along the lines of "I would very much appreciate a response to this letter. I look forward to hearing from you shortly."

Thanks for the replies. I'll go with the more polite approach. It just annoys me that I haven't been contacted. It doesn't take 5 minutes to write a letter or email.

OP, i think you should ring them. They can claim no record of your email and not reply you...

+1 to the phone call... It's the best way, and more personal.

It's not so easy to find the time/privacy in my current job to make such a phone call.

Surely you have a mobile phone and they let you outside every now and then...

+1 . A phone call can allow for changes in tone and help you clarify your points in a balanced way. An email can be very black and white, and I think it would be crazy to word it the way you had originally planned. Ireland is a small country!

they obviously did not think enough of you to extend you the professional courtesy of a reply. i say stick it to them. if someone can be that ****ing rude they deserve the verbal onslaught. do you really want to work for a company that treats their potentail employees like that. i thuoght you were very subdued in your final request for information. ring them and put them on the spot. ask to speak to the "man" in charge and ask him if that is the way he conducts business.
