I recently posted about this job I wanted and asked whether or not I should be checking in while they "figure out a hiring budget." Around that time I had just contacted them so I wanted to wait a bit, but the general consensus was that I should check in every 1-2 weeks and see how it was going, especially since they told me outright they'd be making me an offer. The last I heard from the decision maker was, "We're really impressed with you. Hang in there please." That was a month ago.
I was planning on e-mailing the HR person this time. I have no clue what to say, though! "Hello [name]! Just wanted to check in and see how that budget was coming along!" ?? LOL. I am totally inexperienced when it comes to the interviewing/negotiating game. Help?
Re: Put words in my mouth, please!
Dear HR person,
I hope this email finds you well. I'm inquiring today about the status of my application for the pole dancing position. I have re-attached for your convenience my resume, do let me know if a decision has already been made. I look forward to hearing you.
Kindest regards,
Sparkly tits.
Dear so & so,
I am contacting you to inform you that I am still very much interested in working at such & such place. Please let me know if there has been any update to the interviewing/hiring process that would affect me in moving forward.
Something like that.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
LOL.
Thanks to you both, this helps!
