im 17 years old and ive been looking for a summer job around the neighborhood lately. i recently applied at souplantation and i called them a couple days ago to do a "follow up" the manager told me that another manager had already marked me down for a potential interview but she just hasnt had the time to call me. so he said he would let the other manager know that i called and she ( the other manager) would call me back on either thursday or friday ( two days ago ) thursday, they didnt call back and friday i went to rangin waters and unfortunately. my phone died on me. so i dont know if anyone called. now its sunday. how much longer should i wait before calling in again? i want the job. but i dont want to seem TOO pushy and get the manager annoyed. and at the same time, i dont know if the manager is speakin the truth, or what if he`s just makin up excuses because they dont want me? this is my first time gettin a job. i dont know what to do. any help would be apprciated. thanks!

don't call. That's un professional, go back in, dressed nice and "just touch bases" with them. Let them know you really want the job.
Good luck and don't wait any longer.

I don't think I would text her, but it's your decision, of course. It's best to phone at least 3 or 4 days before the day you want to invite her out. For inst., if you want a Saturday night date, phone at least 3 or 4 days before Saturday. That will give you both time to plan for the date. A phone call is for the purpose of making a date, not to "visit." so, make small talk; then ask her out. Shouldn't take more than 10 -12 min. All the other things you asked about are things that will come to you, as you prepare for the event. You'll know what to do or say. Just be natural, if there is a lull in the conversation, no problem, just look over at her and smile. At the end of the date, invite her out again for the next date. Go ahead now and call her. I think things will go fine for you both.

Hello:
There are ways of being persistence without being pushy. Hiring managers want people that are hungry for a position, but not arrogant. My recommendation is to re-focus on the reasons why you feel that you are the best candidate for the position and have those ready when you call back on Monday. Have a clear purpose statement to open the call with such as: "Thank you again for the opportunity to interview with your company. I feel that I am the ideal candidate for this position and can bring strong value to your company by means of x,y,z and would like to start as soon as possible in order to showcase my skill sets...when will I be contacted" You get the picture. By showing that your very interested and can create value for the organization, you should have resolution soon. Take Care and Good Luck. JKBroeme

If you call them they will know you are interested.
What you should have done was call on Saturday and say "Hey, my phone died yesterday! Did you call me?""

you could just call them now. after all, your phone died so they could have already called you on friday. just explain the situation and they wont be annoyed
