Asked about the TheOldPlace application I realized it was ten days and I'd not heard anything. You might assume at that point that you weren't going to hear anything.

But then I recalled that TheOldPlace was the employer that 10 days after a job interview hadn't told me I'd got the job and only revealed that I had becaused I called to ask. (Due to having been offered another job but really wanting the first one more).

So I can only be patient and try not to be too stressed. Of course I have no idea if they do actually notify unsuccessful applicants. I did get a nice email saying thank you for the documents after I'd submitted them. I'm still not holding my breath but I hate the waiting all the same.
