When you get a rejection letter from the employer, you can accept it and move on. But when you have a seemingly great interview and then hear nothing for weeks, it can become downright unbearable. Thats how perpetual job seeker Dave (Dont Be Dave) Hetherington was feeling this past Valentines Day. It had been three solid weeks since hed interviewed with this company, and he hadnt heard a peep. Dave couldnt bear the silence for another moment and decided to follow up in a big way. As youll see, things quickly spiraled downward from adorable to horrible.Apparently no one ever told Dave the difference between smart and stalker-esque when it comes to following up.For the record, the best thing you can do if youre tempted to pull a Dave is apply for another job, instead. The more job opportunities you have in the pipeline, the less a delay or rejection can hurt you.
