DAMN it's hard to get a job

I got a connection for a fairly decent job last week, and I email this guy on monday morning and sent him my resume and all that. He gets back to me monday night and asks a bunch of questions and says he'd like to see me and he'd have time on thursay or friday. it sounded very positive. I email him back a carefully crafted email on tuesday morning answering all his questions and telling him i'm open all day on thursday and friday to come in and meet him(because im unemployed...duh). but for some reason i have not heard from the guy since then. thursday's already over, and i'm going to be out of town for the next 2 weeks. What should i do, email him back with a "wtf" email? i don't want to seem pushy, maybe he's just extremely busy or something. gah, my only plan if i don't get this job is to trek up to alaska and try to live in the wild for as long as i can. its not the idea, but its been done.
 
I'd send an E-mail saying when you're out of town but if he has any questions or wants to schedule something to call your cell.

This. Personally, I'd emphasize that you'd "appreciate meeting up for a bit tomorrow if he has the time", since you'll be gone for the next two weeks. Normally I'd say not to be so pushy, but who knows if that job will be there when you get back.
 
Ask him, it'll show him that you are genuinely interested in the job. And if he does say you didn't ask him why you didn't get the job so it leaves him with the positive impression of that you want to continually improve.
 
may as well be pushy and try to get an interview, cause really what do you have to lose? i'd definitely email him. it'll let him know you're interested
 
either you're not The Man because you can't get a job, or you are THE Man, and the employer don't dig on authority.


anyway, you should send an email/call and explain your situation. no sense in not being pro-active these days. There's probably 1,000 people applying for that position and it's not unreasonable that he simply missed you in all his scheduling.
