How to Follow Up After an Interview

to waiting

I Am New To the Job Searching Market Since I have Been in in Florida for 15 years and have had a job: Now everything is so different from the way we use to look for jobs most everything is done on the computer or at the best Networking seems to be the way to get a job. It is who you know in a lot of cases.......Rule of thumb Don't wait for a employer to phone you back no matter how well you think a interview went. There are so many applicants out there and its just all in the company's hands, at this time we hold no cards with an ace

in it. You went on two interviews with the same Company and that's Great But with company's not even getting back to interviewers ( RUDE ) and other hoops they run you thru to pick the best person its scary out there. I have gone through some of my own . JUST KEEP going don't wait for them to call you, move forward keep sending out resumes Keep going on interviews till the phone rings and the person on the other end says you have the position

It will Happen and it will be possible a better job then maybe what you are waiting on now

and if that other company calls you I hope you have that better job so you can say IM SORRY I HAVE TAKEN a BETTER POSITION.

2nd interview positive outcome

Hi all, after bumping into this web site and reading all the posts,I decided to share my job hunting experience. Last week I sent my CV to a company and had an immediate response. I've had 2 interviews by Friday already. During the 2nd one, I met the owner of the company, the HR manager, and even their accountant as I was told they were interested in me and gave me 1 month of probation before the full-time job. I agreed. I did send the a you e-mail to all the interviewers on the same day when my 2nd interview was. Nevertheless, I have not heard from them this week at all! I also sent an email asking politely about their timeline and when I may hear from them. Still..nothing. isn't it weird?!

And one things, the company islocated in Italy.

Waiting!

Ok, I am waiting for a potential employer. Past the phone interview. Met for the first initial interview and got called back for the second interview. Passed both with flying colors. So, now i'm here eagerly waiting for the decision. It's very nerve racking and nonetheless, almost tempted to send a follow up message asking them about there final decision. My second interview was Wednesday and today is Friday. They did tell me that a decision would be made at the end of the week. So, if I don't hear anything back, should I send a message after business hours inquiring about there decision?

I find it extremely rude that companies do not get back to me after I explicitly ask at the end of the interview and wait about a week after the date and email reminding them I am interested in know when they will be making final decisions. It makes internship hunting a horrible experience...and I'm a 4.00 Petroleum Engineer major!

Who to follow up with?

When you want to make a follow up call do you follow up with the person that interviewed you or the Human Resources Dept?

Contact Hiring Manager or HR? Or Both?

I have followed up to confirm the timeline with the HR Manager. Do I still follow up with the Hiring Manager (which would be future boss) or is it overkill?

offer withdrawal

Javone, that is wretched. Susan is right that it could be due to the sort of budget situation she suggests. This is obviously tremendously unfair to you as a candidate, when you may have resigned your job, turned down other offers, etc. It can really put you in a bad position. Because of that, I think employers have an ethical obligation to be very sure of their ability to make a hire before they extend an offer -- but not all of them do.
