Question by barrie bakar: How long after 2nd interview do you expect to hear back from a potential employer.?
I had my first interview with a potential employer on October 1st. Thought interview went pretty well. Took 2 weeks without hearing anything, called and left the hiring manager 2 voicemails at the start and end of the 3rd week. I was contacted on October 20th to come in for a second interview on October 21st. Second interview was very informal with another employee. He basically did all the talking and explained the job in detail and what I will be doing and confirmed that I will be working with him. He told me that he was to submit a report to the hiring manager and asked me to call him if I ever had any concerns or questions that were job related. Its mid November now and I have still not heard anything back after the second interview. I called the hiring manager twice this week but have not received a call back or an email. Friends tell me to stay put and that I will receive an email or call if the position has been filled. my question is does it take this long to hear back after an interview? As a recent graduate I am not too familiar with all the intricacies of the hiring process. Please advice.

It really depends on when he wanted you to start, do you have any idea? If the start date wasnt for a while, its not unusual to not have heard anything, as they would contact you about a week or 2 before you were due to start. If I were you I would call again if Ive not heard anything in another week or perhaps send a email and continue this. You dont always hear back if the position has been filled by someone else, which is a pain really as its not really fair to leave you guessing when you could be taking up other jobs. Keep applying for new jobs just in case

Question by bob123: How long should I wait after interview before calling back?
I had 3 full length in person interviews on Friday. I really thought they all went pretty well, and I made a good impression. I sent my thank you emails but didnt hear anything in response. I called back on tuesday morning and HR said that they did not hear back from the interviewers yet but do plan to make decision within the next couple of days. She also said they are no longer interviewing anyone else..
It is now Wednesday night. Should I call tomorrow (thursday), this friday, or next week. I just need a definite answer as soon as possible… as this affects major decisions in my life. Thanks for advice guys.

If you have already send some sort of follow up letter, then just patiently wait. it is good to maintain interest in the position, but you don’t want to be a pest. Interviewers can take harmless behavior and turn it into something ugly, so just be careful. AND GOOD LUCK!

Question by ashcorter: What’s your wait time between interview and call back or job offer?
I went on an interview on Friday, it’s now Tuesday. I’m honestly not expecting a call back, re not enough experience. However, upon wishful thinking, hoping they will give me a chance. What is the longest any of you have waited for a call back from a prospective employer. In my current position, I found out that day. Any past stories on job offers would be interesting too.
Yes, I did send a thank you note.
It’s a small opthalmic pharmaceutical company

It can be anywhere from that day to months later, it depends on the company. Hopefully you already sent a thank you note, I would call sometime later this week to check in if you haven’t heard anything.

Question by sillygoose: How long to get called back after a job interview?
I had an interview on thursday, everything went well and at the end of the interview I felt really confident. At the end, the employer said she had 2 more interviews left, but so far I was a good candidate. She said she would call back by Friday or Monday and still nothing. What should I do its my first interview and I don’t know what to expect. Will I get a call back?
