I was told the decision would be made yesterday so if I don't hear anything by the close of business today it's safe to say I didn't get the job and back to the drawing board.

Next time you should make sure you're SEEN wearing the top coat, imo!! That might make all the difference!

You may want to give it another day if you don't hear anything by today. I've had employers give me a day too, and it's usually always later than the date they gave me.

I also been on the lookout for a rejection email, haven't received one as of yet so I guess you are right. I will give it another day and see what happens. But in the meantime, i started a new job search goal. I must apply for 10 jobs a day atleast, it can be more than that but no less than 10.

The interviewer doesn't see the coat until the end of the interview because when I first get in the door, I take it off after talking to the receptionist. So while I'm waiting to be seen, I'm not going to still have on the coat, I take it off and fold it over my arm.

And: "What the hell are you talking about? I'm not in the mood for stupid comments."

As far as the former, maybe you should start getting up and getting a move on before 11AM. That's a very late start for someone seriously looking for employment. As to the latter, you were the one who brought up the issue of the top coat which has been such an engaging subject on a couple of your threads. We're enjoying so many of your comments but seems that the dialogue can only go one way where you're concerned, as in your way. Cheers!

The topic of the top coat was over and done with since last week so I was not sure why it was brought up again.
