Done with background and oral interview

[alienbow]

Hey guys, I've got a question, maybe you can help me. I applied for a crime scene position with a police department. I have passed my background and I went for the oral interview two weeks ago. This past thursday was two weeks.

My background investigator told me after the interview that I should hear something in two weeks. She said I should hear something by mail. I haven't heard anything yet and I am wondering if I should call and speak with my background investigator.

I have also been told by other people that I should give it atleast three weeks. What should I do? Is it okay to call my BI and ask what is going on? I don't want to seem overbearing. I have been restless this whole time and I can't wait to hear something.

Also, would it be alright to e-mail my BI? I don't want to do anything that would make me look bad. I appreciate any advice.

i'd say email or call... since it's been 2 weeks.

Thanks. I will give them a call tomorrow if I don't hear anything by tomorrow. I have been stir crazy waiting to hear something.

I would call, most BI's do not care if you call them. Mine got ready for his phone ringing every tuesday

I sent my BI an e-mail earlier today so she will get it tomorrow morning. A lot of applicants are scared to call or e-mail their BI, it's like they are going to eat them if they do. That is what they are there for.

BI's will eat you if you call and bug them everyday.

I have heard of a lot of BI's not wanting to be bothered a lot. I haven't bugged my BI any, I'm just wondering what is going on.
