[Publib] Post-interview etiquette

[Judy Anderson]

It's certainly appropriate to let them know of your new information. I would 
also put in a forwarding card to the post office. But don't call too often, 
it can be annoying if they haven't decided yet. It often isn't done in the 
time frame they suggest. If you've contacted them once with the new 
information, I would wait a week or two before another contact. Most places 
send a thanks but no thanks letter.

On the other hand, for my first library job, I was hired, but personne 
forgot to tell me. If I hadn't called two weeks after they said they would 
decide, who knows when I would have found out.
