I should let it go, right?
Two interviews, time came and went for the decision day, I touched base and they said they would make the decision by another date, that time came and went and another week went by. I shouldn't follow up again should I?? That would make me annoying, but I really want this job and just want to know if I should let it go.....Dh says to call and check in and I think I sound desperate. Advice?
Re: I should let it go, right?
I would check in. Who cares if you sound desperate if you're not getting the job anyway? And if you are going to get it, then they'll let you know that (or that you'll hear back by x date) and they will understand your checking in.
If it's been a week since they were supposed to decide and more than a week since you last checked in, I don't even think it's desperate.
PS, I was reading up on negotiation tactics last weekend (as I might get a job offer soon) and there was a lot of commentary about women being afraid to negotiate. That sounds a little like what's going on here, too. Women are afraid to check in about a job for fear of sounding desperate or annoying. I bet a man would have no trouble calling to check. We totally need to shake this!
Good luck!
I'd follow up once more, then let it go.
It won't sound desperate if you word it right.

I would call again. If they say they haven't decided yet, I would ask them if they want you to check back at that date. At this point, if they are just taking a long time to decide, they'll probably appreciate not having to call everyone just to tell them that they're still waiting.
If they say that they'll contact you when they make a decision, then I wouldn't keep contacting them if you don't feel comfortable.
