[quote=Anonymous]I've interviewed for two mid-level management jobs, one at a small co., one at a large university. All went well, we seemed to see eye to eye, clicked with everyone, no missteps that I was aware of, I'm completely qualified. Went through a total of nine interviews over more than two months. Am now waiting, waiting, waiting. Sent polite emails, emphasizing that I'm quite interested, asking when decision would be announced. I received one reply that a decision had been sent to h.r., and now nothing. It's been weeks.

The only negative I can think of is that I'd be taking a step down in salary because of the nature of the jobs, even though I'm very interested in both jobs, and don't mind taking a pay cut because the jobs are just what I'm looking for.

Both places have requested references (mine are stellar), but neither has checked my references.

What do I do? Sit tight? Call them? I have not looked for a job in more than 12 years, so I'm not sure how the recession has changed the employment process. In the past I would have been absolutely certain I would be offered both jobs. Now, I am puzzled.

Any insights? Thanks. [/quote]
