They discussed everything about thejob with me, they discussed the salary with me. THey asked me If i was still interested and I told them I needed to confer with my husband and they said great gave me thier cards and asked me to get in contact with them as soon as possible, they wanted to make a decision by monday. I have called 2 times since I made my official emailed(confirmed reciept) of my interest. I still have not heard back.

I have had several interviews over the last year. This interview went differently than others that I did not get. I have been in my current job for over 6 years and its gotten so bad this last year that I can hardly handle coming to work.

I admit perhaps conferring with my husband was a bad choice of words, but it was the truth. They discussed a salary with me that was less than I am currenly making. I needed to discuss our options with him, I needed to know if he was on board, thats what a marital relationship is all about

Don't beat yourself up. You did exactly the right thing. You should always take your time to consider an offer before accepting. Even if it sounds great and is beyond your wildest dreams, you should take a day to discuss\ponder\debate any and all issues related to the job with your family (including pay). A few days is not a big deal. I know it feels like an eternity to you and you have a hard time concentrating on anything else, but I wouldn't really start to wonder about it until a week or so has passed. They may have had high priority issues hit them this week and are unable to get back to the hiring process.
Be patient and don't be over eager. Good luck in your new job...

Confer with my husband ~ not what an interviewer likes to hear. What I have learned in the past (the hard way) is to discuss as much as I can about the potential job with my husband before the interview. Right then we decide what rate of pay, benefits...etc would be good and then he trust me to make a good decision. If he went for an interview, I would tell him to go for it if it was what he wanted. No need to come home and ask me. Second, I think emailing them your answer was a little unprofessional. You should have called to begin with; now that you have not heard anything, you have called two times. Don't call them anymore or send them anymore messages. If they don't contact you by Friday, then I would say you didn't get the job.
After reading your additions, I will say this I had a job once that I was miserable coming to every day. I would even cry coming and going. It was awful! I started interviewing and I had some disappointments, but they all led to the job I have now and I love it. Everything will work out. I am not saying that conferring with your husband is a bad thing; but from their point of view it might have turned them off. Best of luck to you!

One cannot be sure how long someone will take to decide on who to hire -- even when they give you a timeline and it has gone over that. Keep in touch with them.
If you do not get this job, change your wording. If it occurs again, you let them know that since the offer is less than you had hoped, you need to go home and crunch the numbers and will call the next day to let them know if this will work out for you.

They probably thought that if you had to confer with your Husband before excepting the Job, then maybe they should look for someone who could give and answer right then and there. They might of figured you were to controlled by your husband to make your own decision. You should of known what He thought before you even took the interview.

As someone who hires, It's taken me as long as two weeks to get back to someone. A lot of times I was waiting on approval from the compensation department or for a background check.
Don't panic - if they like you, they'll call.

Hmmm... I just wonder why you can't get a hold of them. Just keep calling if they don't call you back then maybe they are not interested or they have filled the position.

Don't worry, if they call you they will call you. Just because you have a interview, it doesn't mean you have the job.
