so I am going on an interview Thursday morning...and while I was browsing the webpage I am in shock when I see who the prinicpal is!! the same principal of another school I interviewed with in June...He left that school...for this one...
anyway...at the interview in June...I didn't do as well as I would have liked (not offered the job ) but I was in a very weird place in life...i had just moved across the country and 5 weeks later DH was off to Spain to help his mom in an emergency. i stayed for the interview, but was leaving right after.
So he left a message to call him on my machine, but since I was in Spain, when I checked it I screwed up the answering machine and knocked it offline and it was a constant busy signal - so he couldn't call back...so I called the guy until I reached him...and he told me I didn't get the job...but it sounded like he wanted to say something else to me, but I was disappointed - so I just thanked him for and that was it.
He may not even remember me...but what should I do if he does? If he doesn't should I bring up anything or just let it go...(why remind him that I was someone who didn't get the job? )
Hmmm...I would not say anything until he brings it up (if he does). That was a while ago - he didn't recognize your name so unless he recognizes your face, don't worry!
Hey Erica, I know if it were me that interviewed someone, I would remember that person. So I think he may remember you. I would be prepared to talk about it when you go.
Hmmm...I would not say anything until he brings it up (if he does). That was a while ago - he didn't recognize your name so unless he recognizes your face, don't worry!
not sure if he picked the resumes out...most likely no...and he may not even be at the interview...but I think he will - if he was at the last one...
there is a chance that he wanted to hire me and the panel didn't...or I know that the old school only had 2 counselors and they hired a man (already had a woman) and it is usually a big deal to have at least one counselor of each sex...
so am I kidding myself? my hair is shorter than it was...so maybe he won't remember
julykbride, i agree with that...but since he didn't remember her name...i dont know. If he does bring it up, just say 'I am fully willing, able and excited to be a part of your team!'
Maybe the something else he wanted to say was, I am leaving here soon and want to keep you available for the new school I am going to!!!! Good luck! Keep us posted!
I would maybe say something...just because he might expect you to remember him...just keep it to something like 'I'm sorry how things turned out the last time after you interviewed me, I had to go out of the country on a family emergency and because of that, I was not very focused on our interview, but things are much better now and I hope that comes across this time around'.
Or something like that.
He might not remember you as much as you would him - but he may and you don't want to chance that...if you touch upon it and say you hope that things go better this time around, it might break the ice.
