    Feeling Got a Job

    I was told by the store manager on Monday that I was hired, but they mentioned that the work contract wouldn’t be sent until today or Saturday. I met with the first store manager last Friday, and after a positive meeting, I was asked to meet the second store manager. Just a few hours later, I received a call from her confirming that they wanted to hire me. She explained that they were hiring multiple new staff members and needed to coordinate start dates for training, which made sense to me. Now that it’s Friday, I’m feeling a bit anxious about not having received the contract yet. I know it’s still within the timeframe they provided, but I can’t help but worry. Is it normal to feel this way in situations like this?

    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning Thinking

    I was referred to a colleague of my friend's dad who runs a business in NYC and is looking for a full-time hire. My friend initially got the job offer but could only work part-time, so she passed my resume along to the colleague knowing I’m looking to move to NYC. I missed her call on Thursday because I was at work, and she texted me asking when I’d be available to talk. I told her I was free after 6pm, but she didn’t call that evening. I followed up with a text, but still no response, so she suggested we try again after 6pm on Friday. I waited again, but there was no call. I reached out to my friend for advice, and she said to wait until Saturday morning to follow up. I sent a polite message offering my availability for the weekend or the following week, but it’s now 4pm on Saturday and I still haven’t heard back. I understand it’s the weekend and she might be busy, but I can’t help but feel stressed about the lack of communication. I plan to wait until Monday evening to follow up again, but I’m anxious about whether this means she’s not interested in hiring me.

    Job title: full-time hire
