How long would you wait to hear about a job?
Just a simple question. How long would you wait to hear about a job that you applied for?
I applied for the head football coach position in my building about 10 weeks ago. I have yet to interview, and getting really frustrated with the amount of time it has taken to interview. Any ideas appreciated, I am about to pull my name and tell them to stick it!

10 weeks is longer than I would wait. Can you call someone and find out what is going on?

i wouldn't wait, i'd call, email, inquire etc. maybe you've already done that, but imo persistence shows interest/respect/desire for position, etc.

I talked to the Supt. about a week after I applied, then again three weeks after that. Since then I have been patiently waiting for them to interview other positions that they have tried to tie to the job, with no success. Now I am just waiting.

Don't wait, don't withdraw your name, just keep looking. We live in a unique time. It used to be common manners to follow up with an applicant good or bad. In todays employment world, there is no such obligation. That doesn't make it right it's just a fact. Most companies do their applications online and there is no "contact" whatsoever. Computers are not all they are cracked up to be, it is a way for people to hide and be rude IMO.

Chances are there are some behind the scenes politics going on. I would follow up with phone calls, emails, and letters. But I'd say you have little chance at the postion. I wouldn't withdraw out of spite. Rather than that I'd just let it play out without a follow up. You have no reason to burn a bridge just for personal satisfaction. i.e. "You can't fire me, I quit".

BTW, I did withdraw my name from an inspector's position last year. IT was a complete debacle where the town railroaded the guy who was doing the job for over 10 years....
