I had an interview 9am friday morning...a few days before that i was told that i should possibly know whether i got the job within a few hours...well now it's monday and i still havent heard anything from them. Should I call and ask if theyve made a decision yet and when they think it would be made....or should i wait another day or two to call? I dont want them to feel like im bugging them...i've called them alot just checking up on my application. What do you think i should do?

You were smart to find out when they would let you know about the job. Now that their commitment has lapsed, you must follow through. So, yes, call them right away and ask for a quick update. Most employers will be happy to tell you if their schedule has changed. If they are annoyed, which I would doubt, it is best to know NOW.
Move forward with confidence, and never stop looking for a job until you are accepting a position. Good luck!

I'm assuming this is for an office job or something that you had a formal interview for and not McDonalds. If you really want the job, you should send a thank you letter ASAP to the person that interviewed you. That ALWAYS makes a good impression on them. Typically, when they are searching for a person to fill a need in their company, it may take them up to two weeks to decide. Any points you can get will always help.
If you haven't heard anything by the end of the week, then I would consider calling.

Whenever you go to a job interview, you most send a thank you letter to let the company know that you're still interested in the job. On the letter, you could state your interest for the position and stress your strenghts. Let the recruiter know why you think that you would be a good choice for the job. Make sure the letter looks very professional and offer as many ways for the company recruiter to contact you have: home phone, mobil, email, etc. After sending the letter, wait some 3 days to call them if they don't call you first.

If the company you interviewed with is in the same town where you live stop by their office with your thank you note. Give the note to the appropriate person or their assistant and ask your question at that time.
If the company for which you applied for the position is in a different town send the thank you note via USPS Priority Mail for $4.00. A priority mail package is a nice attention grabber. Make sure the thank you note pertains to what was talked about in the interview, what you can do for the company and your sincere interest in the position you interviewed for. Call the interviewer to see if he/she received your thank you note and ask him/her about the hiring time-line for the position you are attempting to procure.

It's not uncommon for a company to tell you they'll contact you within a certain timeframe and then not do so. Remember, business goes on and things always come up.
My suggestion is to give them a call and ask them where things stand and about when you can expect to hear back. This way, you're doing the professional thing by checking on the status of your app and telling them you don't want to constantly bother them with follow-ups.

Jot off an email to thank them for the interview. If you don't know the email addy then call and ask. Make the thank you email sound personal, not a standard form letter.
Follow up with a call in the morning after you know they've read the email. Keep your name in the forefront but don't be a pest.
Good luck!

For now, i could could desire to decline. Blown calls will continually join the interest........the final public of clown calls definitely are not that undesirable, pondering the umpire has to make the call promptly. there are in basic terms a pair in a given year the place it is totally obtrusive to the bare eye. Over a 162 interest season, the calls wil leven out, like Eric reported. regardless of if, I do think of replay could want for use in the playoffs on something yet balls and strikes. it is definitely a time while no person needs to win/lose a interest because of fact of a call.

You should call to thank the interviewer for their time and consideration - then if you didn't ask during the interview when a decision would be made I'd ask.
Good luck.

Send a handwritten thank-you note for the interview. A day after that arrives, call.

if they said 2 hours and now it's Monday, give it a call. If they haven't made a decision yet, they will know you are really interested and this will give you some additional points.
