Twice a week we publish the problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
Over Christmas, I was approached by a tech company about the possibility of doing an internship there. I had a screening interview in late January, which went well, and the recruiter told me their internship team would get back to me in two to three working days to schedule further technical interviews.
Three months later, I have not heard anything. I have contacted the recruiter since and while he has been prompt and helpful, he has apparently no new news for me.
What should I do? I could continue haranguing my one contact at the company, but this will not speed anything up as he is not responsible for the delay. On the other hand, I do not want to find my application lost in filing limbo, so inaction feels inadequate.
This is a dream opportunity for me, so I will do most anything to secure it – be it with my dignity intact or fragmented across their incredibly stylish office.
