Q: A few weeks ago, a newspaper called me for an interview and said they'd let me know in a week if they were giving me an internship. I never got a call back, and I know one of my friends did, so I was assuming they didn't want me for the summer ... but I really want to go there, regardless, so I called them twice this past week to see if they'd made their final decisions. The first time, the lady said she would check for me and call me "right back." I left her another message two days later and she still hasn't gotten back to me.

Would it be obnoxious of me to call again next week? I don't want to be a pain, but at the same time they're pretty much my top choice, and I haven't heard back favorably from anywhere else so I'm starting to get kind of ...

Nervous

A: In this case, I don't think you'd be the obnoxious one.

It sounds like they've made their choices and that their choices do not include you.

But hang in there. It could be that they have some offers out and are waiting to hear back. You still have a chance until they tell you that you don't.

I'd stay on them.
