Question: I think I went over the top! They offered me a provisional job and are waiting for the references to arrive. What if they NEVER arrive? I think I was a bit too excited on the phone. And its just a provisional offer. How do I deal with the embarrassment? I phoned her again saying I forgot to thank her because I was soo excited.
You know what? I think you’re selling yourself short. To begin with, they wouldn’t have offered you anything if you had done poorly. Additionally, what you view as “excitement” I view as “enthusiasm” and it is a great trait to have! Waiting for references is a completely normal step in the process. What you should do is give your references a call and let them know that they will be hearing from your soon-to-be employer and that you would so much appreciate it if they’d respond as soon as possible.
I suspect congratulations will be in order!Rita Barber
