Don't read anything into that Perch. Companies commonly prohibit anyone but HR representatives from making any comments regarding hiring and personnel matters.

Be patient! OD is a big company. A lot of red-tape to overcome until an actual offer-of-employment is to be tendered.

Think positive bro. It's all good.

thanks guys. i feel a lot better. i'll just chill and ride this out. if it doesn't come through, i guess i'll have to go with roehl. keep your fingers crossed for me!

so when would it be ok to follow up with this guy again? he told me on monday afternoon that he won't know anything until he hears from corporate, and he has a habit of not following up with me.

If you want the job, go after it. Otherwise your just another application to him. I'd call him atleast every 2-3 days.

agreed

True, but keep in mind that they're coming off a major industry holiday in which a lot of people were either gone last week or are gone this week...especially corporate. 8) I'd follow up Friday MORNING and then again Monday or Tuesday of next week...give them time to catch up on the paperwork that sat on vacationers desks the past 2 weeks. :)

Got word today. They're passing on me because I don't have enough "seat time".

It's a bummer. I guess I'll have to go with Roehl and pay my dues until I have enough experience to qualify for local work.

If you have any questions about Roehl, send me a PM. I've been here for about 8 months now...

Hey Tom - I'm under 50 posts and can't PM yet, so let me know if it's ok to message you via AIM next time you're on line. Thanks.
