In Reply To: I'm in my first job search in 10 years. I've found the rules have changed quite a bit and am not certain how to read some things. I'd appreciate a little feedback on this situation. I completed what was supposted to be a final round of interwiews last week. It's been eight business days since the interview and I haven't heard a thing. I'm not certain how to read this. It's possible I am the second choice and they are waiting to hear from candidate number one (at least I hope). However, I've found that firms seem a lot less professional in the hiring process than they used to be. Is it now common for firms to just not advise candidates if the decision has gone another way?
Message: I have had dozens of interviews in my career. If you don't make the cut--you will not hear a verbal peep. I have heard you might hear something from government jobs. You might get the wonderful postcard or letter though. I had a 5 hour interview 8 days ago...they are waiting for $ to come in...I suppose when the $ comes in I will get a job? I'm not waiting around...keep applying for jobs you might miss a wonderful opportunity just waiting for some lame HR person to 'get around to it'. Look out for #1- YOU!!
