Should I call a potential employer if told they'd get back to me within 1-1/2 weeks and it's been over that?

I've had two job interviews, meeting with 12 professionals total and every interview went fantastic. I know my references have been checked b/c they told me that the interviewer sounded excited with their answers. Now I'm just waiting to hear if I got the job. The only thing is, I was told that it would take 1-1/2 weeks before I'd hear back from them b/c they were also trying to schedule an interview with another person. It's been almost 2 weeks now. Should I sit tight at wait or call/email my potenial new boss? If yes, what should I say?

I would call. Tell them you are just following up and would like an idea of how much longer it may take for them to make a decision. Think about it. If the other person is calling them for status, they are more on their minds than you. Let them know you are anxious for a decision.
Reply:Agreed, its been more than the 10 days they promised.


Time to call, but do not sound anxious.
Reply:yes!
Reply:it might be just me, but I would most likely wait a little while to call. All though I haven't been to many job interviews but I think that if they were really excited about you applying then they will get back to you. They might just be a little behind schedule etc. I wouldn't want to bother them. Maybe wait a few more days, if possible to call then. Unless it is manditory, and you are really needing the job, it really depends on your situation.
