This is a harsh place to be; the uncertaintly can be stressful to say the very least for all concerned. Make sure that you have in place a contact number that can give you an implication.

I had a fantastic interview early in the week. He even asked me all the right questions……wages, when I could start, he was very pleased with my experience etc.
He told me that he would get back with me at the end of the week, which he didn’t, so I called and he said that he would be calling applicants on Monday. Well I have not heard from him and it is Tuesday. It has been a week ago today that I had the interview. Should I call again or email to find out the status?

My name is Jeremy. My wife and I just relocated. I had two interviews with the same company and they said I got the job. Four weeks later I’m still waiting. I’ve called them and they said that it is a busy time and they will call me when I can start. This company has great benifits but, I’m afraid I might be waiting too long missing out on other stuff. So when is it not worth the wait? Ironically my neighbor is the manager that interviewed me. She said they really like me but, it might take another two weeks before I can start. I’ve already waited four weeks. Bills are stacking up. I feel like I’m being strung along. Should I move on?

what if i went in for an interview and got offered a job, took a drug test, hearing and vision test and now just waiting for a background check and at that time i wasnt working. i was in a situation where i needed to work asap and then got offered another job and took it for a temporary time, would that be lying on my application?

Hello,

I just had an interview last week, and they told me that they would be interviewing through the next day, but would call me “either way” by the beginning of next week. They called as promised, and asked a few additional questions that she said they didn’t get around to at the interview. I answered them as best I could and was told that she needed to speak to another hiring manager and would be calling me back soon. Two days later, and no call back. Should I be worried?

Thanks in advance..

a few weeks back i was called for an interview… went to the interview its a small 3 owner business with about 20 employees. i was then called to meet with the other 2 owners. (first interview lasted about 4 hiurs.. toured the plant…2nd interview.. another 4 -5 hours… toured the pant again.. this time i observed a few of the workers perform their jobs. after, i gave the initial owner feedback on what i observed. it all went very well. so.. of course i sent all 3 owners thank you cdards.. when following up on a monday, the owner (original contact) said he would have a decision by weeks end.. they are just very busy… at the end of the week.. i called him like heasked and still hasnt worked on the position … so.. a fw days later i get an email from him telling me hed give me a call the next day.. he never did… so.. i called him the day after and had to leave a voice mail… what should i do now??? i have a wife and kids to think of.. and i am still looking and keeping my optiosn open but this positio was / would be a great fit. do you think i should call him again? or send an email? ohh.. one other thing that i did was send him a design of a ficticious property to give him an idea of my styke and techniques… ive won awards from major players my deisigns and this one was top notch… so .. what do i do??? any advice will be helpful.

I had a great interview about a week ago. I think it went pretty well and left very enthusiastic about this position. After 4 days of the interview, HR contacted me to ask me a couple of questions regarding my last compensation, if I was authorized to work in the U.S. (which I am) and finally she asked me to fill out and fax a pre-hire CDR form which I believe is to check your credit and finances. I have not been contacted since then, although its been just 3 days since then. Is this a good sign? Should I contact them know or should I wait a bit longer? Any advice would be appreciated.

I interviewed on May 25th for a position and was told that they hope to make a decision by end of the week. I sent a thank you letter on May 28th and a follow up email on June 7th. It’s already June 14th and still haven’t received a response yet. I was wondering if I should send one more follow up letter/call or just chalk it up as “lessons learned” and move on.

Hey,
So I was interviewed for a non profit org last week and they told me on the spot that they liked me and that they wanted a second interview. I left the interview so excited and happy! But now its been a week and I have not heard from them. I send a thank you letter 2 days ago and I still haven’t received anything from them. What should I do? Should I just move on? Please advice.

Jorge,

I think you should wait two weeks and then ask when do they think they will make their final decision. If they’re vague again you may want to just forget about them. They’re not trying to impress you so they may be interviewing someone else. Sounds like they don’t have proper interviewing etiquette.
