    I'd say no. Send a short letter thanking them for the opertunity to speak with you. Tell them how excited you are to join the team.

    Did they give you an idea of when they would have a decision. If they did, then do not call before that date. If they didn't I think it would be acceptable to call and inquire but wait until Tuesday if you don't hear from them. I'm thinking they may have made the decision on Friday and use Monday to call people so waiting until Tuesday would be reasonable and not viewed as "bugging them". Good luck. I hope you get it. P.S. A note of thanks can be viewed as solicitous and obvious and in my opinion not a good idea.

    I would since the holidays are next week. I usually wait 4 days and give a call...if they say they haven't decided...I give them a week. Usually they have called before then. Nothing wrong with letting them know you really want the job.

    I would only do that if they said they'd let you know before then. If they did then give them a call.

    Other than that I'd say you should wait for a little while longer.

    That would be quite a long time to have not made a decision though. Unless there are hundreds of interviewees then most employers tend to make the decisions fairly promptly, while the best candidates are still fresh in their minds.

    Only if they said they would let you know before Monday. If not, then I would leave it at least 5 working days otherwise it gives the impression that you're either too pushy or too desperate.
