Kamm: Jobless & Ignored In CdA

Kamm: I've haven't finalized my Thanksgiving plans because I'm waiting to see If I've landed a seasonal retail job. My savings account needs some fluffing; this past year has made it very flat. The interview went well; I was willing to work any shift and any day except Tuesday (lots of standing activities) but only wanted part time. I also said I could be called if someone called in sick or go home early if I wasn't needed. It's discouraging to still be waiting for some kind of information, though. My interview was early this month and I called Monday and left a message to let me know if I was or wasn't going to be hired so I could search for other options.

Question (from Kamm): Is it common to be ignored after you leave the interview?
