KerryQ :
I had an introduction chat on Thursday last week, I sent a thank you email shortly after. He did tell me he’s recommending me to move to the next phase. How long do I wait to email him if I have not heard. He said 170 people applied for the position, not sure how many they were actually talking to. I just don’t know when I should reach out again if I don’t hear. Maybe mid week?

I don’t follow up. If they want me, they will reach me, if not, then I am clearly not at the top of their list.

Hi Missy, love your content. Quick question: I already have an offer, but it’s not from my top-choice company (the role/ pay is like 1/2 of my top choice). My top choice is through a very proactive third-party recruiter, and I’ve already told the recruiter about my other offer (just not the role or salary). In this situation, should I follow up directly with the company’s HR to let them know I have an offer and ask if they can speed up the decision, or should I let the recruiter handle it? For your context I finished final rounds of both companies approximately the same time, just happened to get an offer from the 2nd choice first. Thanks!!

I was told I was a top applicant and I was last to be interviewed. They said they’d reach back by the end of week. It has now been a week and a half with zero response or update. I sent a professional follow up that was direct and it’s been two days. I’m exhausted with this job market .

I’ve noticed a pattern in my last three or four interviews. Once I hear, “We’re still interviewing other candidates, and we’ll get back to you in a few days,” and don’t sense much enthusiasm from the hiring manager, I feel like I’ve already been eliminated and won’t move on to the next round. Is that just my perception, or has that been your experience as ? I’d genuinely love to hear your perspective.

Thank you emails are so asinine when that same company can’t even provide the most basic communication post interview.

Ok I interviewed Monday and sent a thank you email about 8 hours after the interview. It’s now Friday and wondering if I should send the “am I still in contention?” email given that they didn’t tell me a specific date. They just said they have a few more interviews after mine but they’re narrowing it down to the top 1-2 for the final interview with the CEO.

I'm not following up! If they want you, they will contact you.

Danny Cortez :
Should I email the person that I interviewed with last? Or the hiring manager that they told me would be reaching out? For context, they said they would reach out by the beginning of this week and it’s now Wednesday afternoon. Thoughts?

I also got the “we’re interviewing other candidates” response, which, in my experience, usually isn’t the best sign. It was a one-hour interview for a Senior Director role, but they only asked five broad questions with almost no follow-ups. I spent the last 30 minutes asking about the operation and the team. My resume came through a corporate referral, so part of me wonders if they were simply honoring the introduction. The recruiter also said she’d follow up on Monday, and I haven’t heard anything. Looking back, I wonder if I should have expanded more on my answers. At the same time, without follow-up questions, I didn’t want to come across as someone who talks too much. What’s your take?

hajimemash :
After final round, when u dont have their emails, do you just thank recruiter and gently ask to pass on thanks? Rather than trying to msg each interviewer

So I had an interview on May 27th, and today is July 1st. I have heard nothing. I sent an email on June 26th directly to HR, and have still not received a response.

I followed up twice with the recruiter in the time frame she gave me. After the second email, she responded that she hadn't heard back from the hiring manager. In this case I followed up a 3rd time, but normally only twice.

I followed up an interview with an email and received an email back saying I would know by yesterday and haven’t heard anything yet. The ops manager gave me his personal cell phone number and told me if I have any question feel free to text or email, first follow up was email. Would it be in appropriate at this time to follow up via text? He’s made comments “when I’m hired” he also personally thanked the employee who recommended I put my application in after the interview.
