You\u2019ve had your interview, which you think went well. The recruiter said that management wants a new recruit in place within two weeks and that you\u2019d receive a call either way. You email<\/span>ed your thank you note to the interview team \u2026 and two weeks later you are still waiting.<\/p>\n All that waiting seems to demand action; \u00a0\u00a0after all, we are often urged to be pro-active. \u201cWhat if I called to inquire? Would that help show my interest?\u201d wonders the impatient job hunter. So what is the best way to handle all that waiting?<\/p>\n There are many approaches, a few are listed below, and depending on a person\u2019s character, strength of verbal communications, rapport established with the interview team, indications given about how soon a decision will be made or when the chosen candidate will ideally be starting, a candidate may elect to wait patiently, or to follow up.<\/p>\n It is a sad truth that not all interviewers, recruiters, or HR personnel follow through on their promise to call either way.\u00a0Although everyone deserves the courtesy of knowing, it\u2019s also true that lots of folks have trouble delivering bad news. One last idea:<\/p>\n Whether you choose to wait in silence or to act is a personal preference \u2013 there is no right or wrong. Ultimately it is up to each job hunter to determine what tactics he or she is comfortable using.<\/p>\n\n
