what should I do? help me out please...

nothing-less

I applied for an internship position at a corporate firm about a week ago. The principal of the firm emailed me back and told me that he wanted to talk to me and asked me to give him a call. Then I called him.. he answered the phone but he said he just has done with a meeting..so he's gonna call me back. I waited for a few hours but never heard from him. So, shoul I call him again or just wait for him to call?..any of you guys had been in this situation be4? please give me advice. .thanks

wait for another few days. if he doesn't call you back, call him. give him at least 2 days though.

email, then call - most likely he forgot, it's not personal.
it's better than sitting by the phone, right?

diabase steady as she goes, are you steady now

no stupid, he's at least 18...
i would wait a few days as well. i dont know if i would email and call. i have a friend who is applying to some firms right now and he hasnt heard back from one particular and he keeps bugging them. i think that he is over doing it. so whatever you do dont do too much. i think he forgot as well, the fact that you called let him know you were interested. now let him call you or wait and call him to let him know that you are not "too" interested ...

Ok, maybe he/she is young, but still... anyone who needs that level of reassurance over such a little matter annoys me.

diabase, please, have some compassion.

Obviously, this internship opportunity is very important to him, and he is just making himself nervous.

We are all human....

go hassle him at the office, honestly it's probably the only way to get a job.

diabase is mean - I like that in an architect

nothing less don't worry architects are self absorbed and I rarely ever remember to return calls - and sometimes need a nudge

Some Architects are also more than a little scatterbrained. Likely forgot or lost your info. Happened to me and I really wanted to work there eventhough they were still cleaning coffee stains off the conference table when I arrived.

not without

eat a grapefruit in full moonlight, bury the seeds in a hobo's gaping mouth sore, take a bus to a well-lit gas station, steal a cherry lil' hug, dont drink it, carry it to the front door of the nearest vet, pour it on the front door handle, keep the bottle, then stare at the handle for 48 minutes attempting to make the key hole shift 2cm to the left, skip home avoiding all cracks, stop ten feet short, then call the office of the alleged partner, leave a message speaking with the open end of the lil' hug clinging to your tongue, prosper.
