Hi everyone,

How long would I have to wait before I hear back from an employer after Ive had an interview with them?

What, in all you peoples experiences, would be the longest times youve waited to hear some feedback?

Thanks

I've had to wait as long as a couple of months before. That sort of thing often happens when a company is so busy putting out "fires" that they don't have the time to interview all prospective candidates in a timely fashion.

 

Well, I do know that only 2 people were being interviewed (me included), and the interviews were last week, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Still no feedback from them!

Would it be a good idea to give it a week, then call them up and ask them how far they have got with a decision?

Thanks

 

That would be fine I am sure, just ask nicely whether or not letters have been sent out regarding the recent interview you attended and if not when are they due to be sent out as you are keen to know one way or the other!

 

Yes phone up!

In my experience I've found out on the day that I've got the job...apart from one interview I went to when they phoned me 1st thing the next morning - it was due to procedure etc.

 

I had my interview last Tuesday, so its been almost a week now and I think ill phone up tomorrow morning and ask them how far theyve got with the decision.

Im not too late in making the call am i??

 

I actually emailed the HR lady on Friday and asked her if there had been any feedback for my interview or if a decision had been made.
I got an auto-reply saying that she was away for the day in meetings and would be back on monday with a reply. I didnt get a reply.

 

Call for sure, thats what I would do in your place, if anything it will make you seem more serious and interested.

 

Great news everyone,

I just called up this morning to see how far they had got with the decision and they offered me the job!!!

I'm excited to break into the IT industry with a big company and look forward to progressing my career with them.

 

Nice one!

Congrats!

 

congratulations dude!

 

Excellent news!

Congratulations!

 

Well done mate!

 

Excellent! Well done

Si

 

Phew what a relief - congrats mate and good luck in your new role

 

Congratulations

 

Rather then ask how far in the process, wait a week and ask to speak to the person that you interviewed with ie the decision maker and thank them for considering you for the position and that you look forward to the opportunity to be part of the team.

But your mileage may differ.
