I had an interview 2 weeks ago as of me typing this, I followed up by email beginning of this week and got the following reply back
"MY NAME,
Thank you for reaching out,
We are still in the interview process and fielding other applicants. We will be in touch with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you,
INTERVIEWER"
I don’t think I’ve ever heard “in the coming weeks”, I just hoped I’m not fucked. I thought the interview went very well.
Who knows nowadays, i wouldn’t hold your job search though. I would keep looking, if they get back to you, you may find something better in that time frame.
Edit: good luck
Dang, I think my unemployment only lasts til January 🙁
If that’s the case 100% don’t wait. You can’t rely on these people.
This could be as innocent as “hiring manager was on vacation and we still have some interviews planned” or “our interviewer was caught fornicating with a chicken and we’ve had to make some internal changes”.
I would take it as a positive sign that you’re still in the running, but like others have said, I wouldn’t pause my other job searching tasks to wait for this one to play out.
True
Could be a case of them interviewing a lot of people. Keep in mind a lot of people go on vacation this time of year and depending on the company/industry it could also mean this is peak season for them. I wouldn’t look too much into it.
Best of luck, hope you get it.
Thank you
No way to know. All it tells you is that they probably haven’t discarded your application, which is certainly encouraging, but I wouldn’t read too much more into it than that.
True
