Hi, I would like to commite on what you said, I don't think it up to the assistant manager, maybe he gave the number because he like you if your a female, it basicly up to the manager.think about it what could you possible have to ask him
Worst. Post. Ever.
Lack of reading comprehension? Check!
Spellcheck fail? Check!
No coherent point? Check!
I followed up with the recruiter yesterday afternoon. She said it is fine to do that if I am on my own, but I shouldn't do it if it is through a recruiter. She also said she followed up. The HR manager said that the assistant controller had to postpone the last interview until Monday because he was out sick for a couple of days after my interview. But she said that I am one of the top candidates. So that is good. I'm sure the recruiter will follow up for me. If I get the job, she makes a commission on me.
Let me clarify. I didn't mean to call him and ask, "Have you made any decisions?" That may annoy him. I meant a call saying, "I know you are still in the process. I wanted to again thank you for your time last week and let you know I am still very interested. This really seems like a great opportunity." That will show him I am very interested.
Well, I would be highly irritated if someone I had spent that much time with gave me a call, unless we had already extended them the offer and the person is calling to clarify something b/f accepting/rejecting the offer.
In addition, when working with a recruiter, you always deal with matters through the recruiter. Companies use recruiters so they do not have to deal w/ such things as interruptive phone calls from candidates.
The interviewer was simply being proactive in giving you his call back info - in case you did end up getting the job offer and needed clarification about some aspect of it b/f acceping the offer. No one wants to deal with candidates making calls after the interview process is over, more candidates are to be interviewed, and no offer has been made.
Even calling a week after an interview to say "I am still interested" would not be well received by most folks, as they are assuming you are still interested . . . or the recruiter would have told them otherwise.
You are either going to get an offer or you aren't. Making phone calls can instantly turn off someone, especially when they are paying a recruiter to work with candidates. It can make you appear impatient, anxious or desperate for a job and those are not traits that anyone wants a potential employer to focus on.

You must irritate easily if a five minute phone call from a candidate a week after the interview annoys you.

Nah. I've contacted hiring managers directly when they extended their business card to me during the interview. It doesn't mean you're "bypassing" the recruiter.

Come on. Patently untrue. I don't know what kind of field you're in, but in mine (engineering) people are really laid back about that sort of thing.
Hang in there, RR! It sounds like you had a great interview and established a good rapport with your interviewer. This is huge!
Sending good thoughts for you to be the final candidate.
Well, I have never spent an hour an a half at a job interview. Not with one hiring manager anyway. And usually hiring managers play it close to their chest. They say, "You have a nice background. I am seeing other candidates. I'll get back to you." hey don't usually say, "Your experience matches spot on what I am looking for," or "I think you are at the top." That would just be getting my hopes up.
Here is a question. The interview was 12 days ago. According to the recruiter, they had to push the final interview until today. It was supposed to be last week, but the hiring manager got sick. My question is, if an interview was 12 days ago, and the hiring manager saw a couple of other candidates since then, but he really clicked with me, will that still be fresh in his mind when it is time to make a decision?
