    Too soon really. I always ask in an interview "how fast they are going to be moving" so I know when to expect a phone call or PFO letter.

    In saying that I also had an interview last wednesday(could have been same job :) ). They said that because of the weather some of the people couldn't make it until next week so I would have to wait until the coming week to find out.

    The interview, for me, went badly anyway so I don't hold out much hope. :rolleyes:

    In your case, I would wait until Wednesday or Thursday and if you haven't heard anything just give them a a call.

    1. Apologise for calling like this
    2. Tell them you appreciate how busy they are and how many people they have probably interviewed in the same boat

    It's one of those "if I'm not going to be too much trouble..........would you mind" phone calls.

    Nope, Pallas Food in Newcastlewest, Co Limerick. ;)

    That sounds very good about the 2nd round and business card. Is there an e-mail on the business card?

    Yes, then e-mail him, thank him for his time and say you are excited about the possibility of working for the company and you look forward to speaking with him soon.

    No e-mail address. Phone the company reception and ask for it.

    I was offered a job Friday morning with somebody else anyway so I wasn't bothered about Pallas Foods.
