So, I had an interview on Friday. I thought it went well, and was told I would hear something tomorrow (Tues) at the latest. Well, considering this is a school position, and they wanted the chosen candidate to start Wed, I would suspect they would have most likely contacted them on Monday so that they could go do their fingerprints and drug test.
Anyway, I did send an e-mail on Friday thanking the interviewer, and sending a document (license for the job) that they asked for. I then asked for them to let me know via e-mail they received it (no response). I understand they're busy with school starting, so they were probably just busy.
I'm just kind of starting to wonder what I'm doing wrong with interviews? I swear I use to do a great job on them, and lately, I just haven't been successful.
Well, I hope was hoping this job would come through, but I'm not too optimistic about it, especially since none of my references have been called, etc (would think they would for a school job definitely).
Same here. I worked at a school years ago no references called thought. Since I started filling that part out a number of years ago none of my references have ever been called.

Why is it so hard to get a job in a school? I don't get it?
Never expect hiring decisions on a Monday. If I could add a sticky to this page, it would be that concept in big bold red letters.
It's the busiest day of the week for a hiring manager as well as most others that work for the establishment. If Monday was especially busy, then any discussions about a hiring decision are put off until Tuesday; which in turn means contact with the candidate might not be Wednesday or even Thursday if there are many references to call. Understanding that is how you "understand that they're busy."
You're conceding you didn't get this job far too early.
It's frustrating when you're going from one interview to another with no leads.
Been there and done that. The worst part is when you wait for the call/email. And you're hoping they'll call you back for another interview or tell you that you've landed the job.
We've all been and are currently still going through that.
My advice is try to stay busy and volunteer if you can. The more connections you make with people, the better. Network like crazy.
My friend was unemployed for 2 years after working at a hospital as a medical assistant. It was difficult for her to land jobs since she was older than most people applying and hospitals wanted to hire RN's. She went back to school (at 50) to get her bachelors degree, volunteered at a couple of places and got a job through volunteering.
Keep searching and dont give up.
