I've sat in a few interviews and the person getting the job was ALWAYS the last one we rang. If we couldn't get through to those who didn't get it, then we simply had to delay calling the successful person until we had spoken everyone else.
When I've employed, I have always rang the successful person first. Make sure they accept the job and not accepted something else or had a better offer, before declining the others.
Might have to go back and look again at second best.
I've had it happen to me. Been phoned and told unsuccessful, didnt make the cut. Shortly after, been phoned and told they could offer the job.
Makes you thinkif you werent good enough before, why now?
Lets hope Bunyip that everything works out well and that you do indeed get offered this position. Hope you get the call sooner, rather than later. Or in some cases, not at all. That really annoys me, not getting a courtesy reply to let you know the position has been filled. Always left sitting, wondering.
Good luck.
