Do most firms follow the standard for notification after an interview:
offering a position - a phone call
rejection after interview - a "snail mail thanks-but-no-thanks letter"
My interview was on friday and I was told I would hear from them the beginning of this week (it's noon on wednesday and no word). Should I be expecting a letter in the mail?
Thoughts/experiences? |

Give your recruiting contact a call. Be polite and friendly, and say "XXX had mentioned that you would try to let me know at the beginning of the week. Can you tell me where I stand in the process at this time?". Or something like that.
In my limited experience (I had about 20 rounds of interviews with various consulting firms and hedge funds) if you phrase it in a professional and no-fault manner it will certainly not be a black mark. You may get a stave-off answer, but even so you are no worse off then before.
To be clear, that does not mean you should bug a recruiter if they are 2 hours late with a phone call. But if there is a big delay, take the initiative.
