Hi I’m Jacky from Hong Kong

I’m applying for the specialist in Hong Kong last year ,and the staffing manager contacted me in February,but I’m not in Hong Kong at that moment,but we still keep in touch every month , the manager always ask me what time will back to Hong Kong ,and he sent me the invitation to me in July , and I told him I will back around September, last week (around 8/29) he said he will send me the new invitation to me ,and then I back to Hong Kong last few days,I sent an email to notice him I’m back already and I gave him my contact number , he hasn’t replied until yesterday (in before he will reply me quickly) , and today I receive a out of office letter is saying he is in a sick leave in limited access, anything urgent, please leave him an e-mail, and expect there'll be delay in getting back.

Is it a rejection email or he is really in sick?should I keep waiting for the interview? I’m so confused now, please help.

Thanks!

I don't believe this applies to this forum. My professsional suggestion to you would be to contact the store directly to verify of your acceptance or denial. Also this would reflect your interest in the job. managers get busy and do get sick so don't view an email as denial.


follow-up is key in any business environment and if it's a denial, it's a denial and a loss for apple not yourself.

Hi Jackie,


You've posted this message in a user-to-user community whos prime topic is Apple's long discontinued productivity application, AppleWorks.

Your best route may be to try th Contact Apple link or one of the other links in the About Apple list at the bottom right of the Apple home page. Check the same list in Apple's Hong Kong site as well.


Regarding the letter, I would take it at face value—the manager is on sick leave, and oout of touch for now.

" Cause he said he will send the invitation to me late in August,and I thanks to him on that day, and now he send me an out of office email said he is in sick suddenly, so is it a reject email for me?"


Hi Jackie,


It is what it is—a message to let you (or anyone else that has sent him email) that he is ill and is not at the office.


Stuff happens. People do get sick. People who are sick do take sick leave. When they're on sick leave they usually don't spend a lot of time at the office or doing the work they do at the office.


"…so I’m confused it is a reject letter or he is really in sick..."


Idris has already answered that question, and based her answer on personal experience.


Regards,

Barry
