    I have always believed that persistence is key in landing a job. I would follow up with an email soon after the interview if at all possible, and maybe call after two or three days, to make sure your potential employer knows you are interested, and to keep your name in his/her mind.

    • Does it make any difference that it's basically a mom and pop operation and that I'm dealing directly with the owner? I'm unfamiliar with this particular scenario -

    • Well, that's why I said send an email if appropriate. An email is a good way to show interest without being annoying. Sending them an email thanking them for the opportunity to interview and that you are looking forward to the chance to become part of their company will surely earn you some points, regardless of the size of their organization.

    • I agree with mike. Express ongoing interest without being annoying.

    • At my last interview, the employer stated that they were in no hurry to hire, because of having an outside firm keeping up the work load. I sent a thank you note the day after I had the interview. I have also called twice, had to leave a message, two weeks after the interview. I have yet to hear back nor have I recieved a rejection letter in the mail. I has been six weeks now. Should I call back again??? I really do want this job!
