Asking Status of Application
Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:46 am
I have been accepted to one position for the first half of the summer. They are giving me a deadline for the end of the day to let them know if I want to work the second half. If I don't say yes by today they may not have room for the second half.
I had an interview earlier in the week with a public interest organization that I want to work out. I think the interview went great and I have feeling they will give me an offer (niche public interest that I have a ton of experience in / good grades).
They said he would "try and get back to me by the end of the week." I'm starting to get antsy because I don't want to put my cards on the public interest group and then not get an offer and lose the chance to work the second half w/ the guaranteed job. But, I really want to work for the public interest for the second half.
My question is: would it look bad if I emailed the public interest today restating my interest and asking them when I should expect a decision, and telling them the first gig (which they know I have) needs to know by the end of today If I want both halves? I don't want to come off as putting then in an ultimatum.
Thanks.
