Gah. Well I just completed a series of interviews for multiple companies for an internship position. I did an interview with IBM on the 19th of February, and they sent an email which extended a potential offer for a position on the 26th of February. I check my Gmail every single day, and today, which is the 5th of March, I happened to open up Windows Live Mail. Lo and behold, I see an unread email. Guess what. It's that potential offer email. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU------- GMAIL MARKED IT AS SPAM AND LEFT IT IN MY SPAM FOLDER, WITHOUT PUTTING A "SPAM (1)" TO SAY THERE'S NEW SPAM MAIL!!! That would mean that I haven't replied to that potential offer email for 8 days. I just sent a reply apologizing for the mishap, and expressed my interest in that position. I am scared out of my mind whether IBM has chosen another candidate during that time, due to no response from me. What do people thing?
how did it work out for you. Yea i'm annoyed at email spam box i send notes to myself via email and even my own emails get spammed
I don't know... I responded to the email, and also made a call, and left a message to my employer.... I'm not sure if 8 days is too big of a window to make an employer retract their offer....
well, depend on which position you're applying for and usually, it states on the offer when you have to respond by .. typically for internship, NO. they probably extended offers to a group of people. however, with the current econ, it's hard to say. even internship is attractive cuz it gets you a foot in the door. i have a habit of checking both spam and regular mail because one life changing incidence .. not go there .. so from now on, you should do the same... lol
man, fuck lenovo i gotta work with what i've got, and there's no lenovo in toronto. i'm just looking for an answer, am i fucked? the no life dann can potentially make bigger bucks than you, and thus be more baller than you
probably not... as this is just an extension of proposal rather than an actual contract... they're probably just trying to get all the responses in b4 choosing the final candidate(s)...
i did, several times, no reply YOU AND YOUR GEORGE BROWN CULINARY DIPLOMA?!?!? LOL hahaha if anything, youll probably be making my lunch when i get there.
it should be fine i reckon, they can understand how some people may not have checked their e-mail and stuff. as long as u explain the situation it should be fine, its not even being that long past the deadline.
