I need some advice please, i went for a interview last Friday dinner time and it was a 3 stage interview, the 1st stage interview i had last Friday (as mentioned), then if successful with the 1st interview you then proceed to the stage 2 interview and then finally stage 3, i thought my 1st interview went well and i hoped i would proceed to stage 2, the woman who interviewed me rang me about 5 hours later by her mobile number (i wasn't expecting to hear from them so early) but i wasn't home, my friend took the call and told the woman (who was calling) that i was out and asked if she wanted to leave a message which she didn't want to do, he told her it would be easier to reach me if they rang my mobile number (which she has) she said she would ring me on Monday, i waited all day on Monday for a phone call that didn't come so at about 4.30pm i decided to ring the woman who interviewed me as i had her number, her phone rang and then it went to her answer phone, i left a quick message explaining that i had missed her call on Friday tea time and could she ring me back, it's now Wednesday and I've not heard anything since, i don't want to become some sort of nuisance/pest but at the same time i would like to know my situation. Do i ring her again or do i wait till she rings me? if i do ring back and it goes to her answer phone what would be the correct message to leave her without sounding confused and worried as I'm starting to get a little worried as i would dearly love the job.
Do companies have to respond to applicants who have been for an interview even if the applicants have been unsuccessful?

Phone her tomorrow morning. I wouldn't bother leaving a second message if she doesn't answer, but there could be more chance of getting an answer in the morning than at 4:30pm.

Companies often don't respond to unsuccessful applicants, she at least made an attempt though. Maybe it was just a call to say you were unsuccessful, or maybe you got a second interview & she's been too busy to get back in touch, you wont find out if you don't call her.

companies do not have to respond to unsuccessful applicants as this may mean contacting several hundred people which is not practical. always put you mobile number first on job applications. there may be several people who have cleared the first stage and get invited to stage two, not being able to contact some of those is another way of whittling down the pile of applications. try sending a text enquiring if you have been successful in stage one and asking when are stage two interviews being held? DONT FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME IN THE TEXT. good luck.

I'd keep calling; it shows initiative...good luck!
