In the middle of a long (7 month) job search post layoff, and feeling
like I'm losing my grip on how to best handle the job search process
without coming across as too "needy".

Found a job I'm interested in, worked my networks to get myself in the
running and had a phone interview with a Chief Concept Officer a week
and a half ago. Interview went okay (I was a bit hyper) and he
indicated that he would have the VP of HR contact me to set up in person
interviews.

Problem is, it's been a week and a half, and no word. I don't have any
other contact at the company other than the Chief Concept Officer, and I
know he is very busy.

Do I contact the COO again and say, "hey, great talking to you, looking
forward to coming in to meet the other team members" or do I wait
longer?

This is a good job opportunity, and I've been looking for 7 months so
feeling a bit skittish about my ability to act in a way that is not
"desperate and dateless".

NOTE FROM LIZ:---------------------------------------------

Dear Amaware (please remember to use your name in your post next time, thanks!):

A week and a half is three minutes in corporate time. Corporate people live in Brigadoon. The CCO is not blowing you off (at least not yet). Interviewers always say 'We'll get back to you in two days' and it always takes three or four weeks.

The absolute best (and only) cure for job-search nerves and anxiety related to waiting for any one opportunity to pan out, is more activity. You've positively got to send out one resume and cover letter package per day, minimum. Three or four per day would be much better. The more job-search volume you create, the less wrapped up you'll be in any one opportunity. That will allow you to be calmer, interview more effectively, and feel more like a person with options as you get into phone and FTF interviews.

You are absolutely right in noting that desperation is highly unappealing in a job candidate, and the more senior you are, the more true that is. Today, get some resumes in the mail for other opportunities. If you don't see the perfect thing, apply anyway. That is the only control or power a job-seeker has -- other irons in the fire. If you could turn a bit of your job-search attention to finding and securing contract work, that should also lower the desperation quotient. Even if you decide to tend bar or wait tables, you'll take away two of the nastiest flavors of job-search pain (the income pain and the doing-something pain) and feel more centered as you go after career-type opportunities.

Take care,

Liz
