gab82, sorry to hear that news, or should I say no news . If that is how they treat candidates maybe not a good place to work. Sometimes things happen for a reason ( or so my Gran used to say). Thanks for update.
You have a love of gardening so stay on the forum, maybe not much happening in gardens at this time of year but join in other threads. Soon be Spring
Talking to students at work, it's absolutely normal these days to get no notifications from potential employers. Something to do with hundreds of applications for every job I expect although it doesn't show UK businesses in a very good light. The cost of a piece of paper and a stamp (or even a mobile text message) is no excuse in my opinion. Keep trying gabs - I'm sure somone will recognize your enthusiasm!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Whilst I don't think anyone expects to hear back at the application stage these days unless they are successful, it really is unforgivably rude not to let you know one way or the other if you have been for an interview. It has happened to me in the past, and I took the view that I would not have wanted to work for that organization if they had no common courtesy. Chin up. It may be nothing to do with you. Perhaps they had a candidate who knew someone who already worked there, for example. Don't despair
I agree with Swiss Sue, callnig them sounds a good plan. If you have been unsuccessful and someone with more experience has got the position, calling them shows an interest and you can ask for feed back about your interview.
If you have not been successful, explain you plan to look for a similar postion and would find it helpful knowing where you need to gain more experience.
Life can be a learning curve, when next interviewed, ask how you will be notified of the outcome.
If you are not successful, you can let them know that you would like to be considered for any subsequent vacancies… that you realise they are someone you would like to work with?
Thanks everyone. I sent a follow up email on Tuesday, asking is they had any updates and for feedback if I've been unsuccessful. Not had a reply from that either!

That's a shame, a bit rude as well to interview and not let you know
In the sticks near Peterborough
Might be an idea to call them and ask, shows you are still interested. They can't do more than say no, better than being on tenterhooks!
