AboutRuth Butler Expertise I will answer questions about resumes and how to do well on an interview. I am a former employment counselor and I have owned my own resume and career counseling business since 1982.
Experience I have over 24 years of experience in this field. One of my greatest achievements was being asked to serve on the Employment Services Committee of our local outreach.
I also conduct workshops and am a guest speaker at many schools and for our local outreach.
Question Why do interviews say the following: "I'll be calling everyone in the next few days to let them know EITHER way".
I have never had one person EVER call me saying they didn't choose me for a position. I've had this happen on 10 or so interviews over the years.
Why do people say this? Thanks
Answer Dear Matt:
It's kind of like when a man goes on a date and says, "I'll call you."
Seriously, some employers actually do call everyone back. In a situation like this, if you don't hear from them in a reasonable timeframe, you should call them. It's annoying, I know, but it's the only way to know where you stand. Warmly, R.Butler
