I went to a job interview at a fast food restaurant yesterday, and afterwards, the lady said she would call whoever she was hiring on wednesday. Well the application didn't ask for my phone number, so she doesn't have it. Was she just planning on not hiring me from the beginning or what? and should I go back in today and give her my number? Thanks!

Yes. Go back and give her your number. While you are there ask her if she needs any more information to help her decide to hire you. Tell her you are ready to start today, in fact, tell her you could start RIGHT NOW!
It is best to always follow up any interview with a thank you letter. In it thank the person or persons who interviewed you. Express your sincere interest in working for them. This will put you on a whole different level in their eyes, because most people do not follow up. If they do not hire you, send them a follow up letter, thanking them for their consideration and asking them to keep you in mind for future positions. Often, the person they hire instead of you does not work out and chances are they will remember you. If you submitted a resume to them and you use the follow up letter technique, every time you send them a follow up letter they will pull your resume from the bottom of the resume stack, staple the follow up letter to it and put your resume back on the TOP of the stack. If they routinely respond to every letter they receive (and some companies do), Send them another "Thank you" letter, and keep doing it. It is the best way to not only express more interest in the position than the next person, but it also keeps your resume on the TOP of the stack and not buried at the bottom and forgotten.
Other than experience and education, nothing will improve your changes of being hired than this.

It's pretty standard to tell folks when you'll be calling to let whoever is hired know what is going on.
I find it very hard to imagine that any job application would not include a slot for your telephone number. Even if the phone number was somehow omitted, it's likely she wouldn't have noticed that it wasn't on the application - there's a lot of information there and during an interview most folks have several things on their mind at once.
If you have not already sent a thank you note for the interview, you could drop one off today, marked to her attention, and include your contact information.
Something like:
Dear "****":
Thank you for the time you spent with me during our interview of "the date of interview". I enjoyed meeting you and learning about the position you have available. I am very interested in this position and hope to hear from you.
Your name
Your phone number
Your address
It might bring you fresh into her mind and would also insure she had your contact information. It's also unlikely that a lot of her applicants are sending thank you notes, so it might help you stand out. Um...do it on store bought thank you card, not a piece of binder paper.
Good luck!

I would go in and give her your phone number. The fact that their application doesn't have a place for you to list contact information is questionable, but that's probably not the interviewer's fault. Most of those things are created by someone in a corporate office somewhere.
Good luck!

I hate the stupid questions that businesses ask!!! Be elementary. i replaced into asked at a job interview: What do you experience this interest can furnish you? I stated a pay verify I have been given the interest, i think of for being elementary.

Yes! Definately go back and share your number. Have it written down with all of your contact info before you go in. Ask to speak with the manager directly and express your interest in hearing back from her and working for the company when you give it to her.

Leave her a note thanking her for the interview/consideration, and restate (very briefly) what you bring to the position, then at the bottem state you are looking forward to hearing from her and put your name and phone number.

I'd go back and give her your number. For all you know, she may have been testing you to see how badly you really want the job and if you're willing to do whatever it takes to get it. ;)
you've got nothing to lose by dropping by to give her your # anyway, right?

It shouldn't hurt to go in and give her your number. If she was going to hire you she may be glad to see you. If she wasn't going to hire you, going in there really can't hurt anything anyway
