    Just came back here to give a quick testimony-I followed your examples listed (especially the tip of giving the interviewer an article or resource they may find interesting) and they got back to me with a job offer; the main interviewer even quoted that they really appreciated one of the articles that I sent to her. Thanks for your help! ♥

    There’s really no right time frame for an employee to get back to you with a job offer. In my experience, if you don’t hear within a few days to a week, start applying elsewhere. There’s always a company that is willing to hire you without having to wait and jump through hoops.

    it does not always mean that. Sometimes the hiring process take up to a month, then you will be surprised with a job offer or a final interview. But that does not mean to stop applying else where, we need to apply everywhere until we land a job, regardless of any other job application.

What I mean, you applied for multiple job interviews, and you should get in touch with them ad long as they did not reject you. Banks and big investment firms takes month sometimes which is really frustrated, they need to find the best if the best candidate with lowest wage. Really no comment and nothing we can do. I have been applying for many jobs and still waiting for many of them, even i still work in a company that I do not like.

And no, it's no longer my "dream job", but it's helped me tremendously to expand my skillset and I'm ready to move on to something I'm more passionate about. I made a major career jump two years ago so that was a big deal at the time. And no, I definitely don't hate it. It's just not the job for me. Sometimes careers and finding your "dream job" is unfortunately a lot of trial and error. I'm grateful for this channel for helping me to be better at interviewing and for giving me the confidence I need! 🙏

Sounds like this could be a good move when talking with a company that you would still be open to working at in the future even if you don’t get a job there right now.

    If a company chose to take a month to fill a position, the person hired would have at least a month of work to catch up on or more. It would be a very hard job with a huge work load. I generally extend job offers after the first interview. I may tell the applicant I have other interviews to conduct before a decision is made, but ultimately I want to fill this position ASAP. I know every job is different. I interviewed at one place three times and had three interviews. I never got the job. What a waste of time, money and resources. Employers, please don’t do this to people.

    Hey big fan of the videos! Lots of great recommendations! I have to say i completely disagree with your point about not reconsidering the candidate which followed back up (six times). To disregard someone so passionate about your company would be a major mistake. Likely that candidate is interviewing with other companies and is not only focussing all his time on yours. However, he clearly favors your company over the others. While everyone says they're specifically interested in a company, while interviewing, this candidate was probably being genuine about it. Not easy to find. A genuine interest in the work a company does is going to allow for the best quality of work possible. You don't have to extend extra effort to motivate that employee.

    The employer may also be wasting your time for their own selfish purposes, such as being able to demonstrate a diverse applicant pool. I've had internal recruiters reach out to me on Monday and on Wednesday state that an offer had just been extended to someone else. I've also gone through a full-day panel interview process, ghosted for 6 weeks and then learned that the duties were given to those of an internal candidate who had interviewed me.

    Hi Madeleine, I would really appreciate your insight on wether to wait or send them a message. I applied for a grad role, made it through to a one-way interview, then an aptitude test. I took this test last Monday 21st and then received an email last Friday 25th thanking me for completing the test and they'll be in touch this week. It is now Wednesday 30th (end of day) and i'm wondering if I should keep waiting or send an email to follow up about next steps. I'm also wondering if I did horribly on the aptitude test (it was hard) would they normally reject you pretty quick? Wondering what your thoughts are on this . Thanks!

    The recruiter ghosted me after about 3 follow ups from us both.

Now, this hospital is notorious for their hiring process taking a long time, but this is insane.

    I only follow up if the company offers a decent pay. If I was applying at a fast food then I won't even bother putting time and energy. I would just keep on applying elsewhere. They must have lost their minds if they expect me to dedicate my time and energy to show my interest in working for them if they are going to pay $7.25/hr. The only companies I bothered following up was Ross and Dillard's cause they pay decent. The job offer for Ross was passed over to someone else but I got Dillard's. These are the people I would gladly follow up on.

    There are 2 slight misconceptions here: 1) Persistence gets jobs - this may be true for a tiny minority of candidates, but not for the majority, as although the recruiter may choose to hire a person who was persistent, most candidates (no matter how persistent) will not get the position, so it isn't persistence that gets them the role. 2) Being persistent means you'll automatically stay with a company long-term - this also isn't necessarily true as job seekers are often looking for what they need right now, and in a year or 2 years' time they might be looking for something new. It's not their persistence that means they'll stay long-term but their commitment to the role when they actually get there, as well as the support companies will give them in their role. If it was persistence that got people jobs, I'd have loads of them right now.

    I would ask during the interview, "Who is this role reporting to?" or if you'd like to be less direct, "Can you tell me the structure of the team?" If you're interviewing for an operations/recruiting/HR role then that person could be the hiring manager, otherwise they are likely screening you for the hiring manager. I also look at clues on their website and LinkedIn profiles for company structure.

    If you haven't heard back from them by the time they said, it's because they offered it to someone else. The day after they were supposed to get back to you, send a polite follow-up email letting them know you're interested, because there is still the chance whoever they offered it to will refuse and that will increase your chances of them liking you as a second option. But do not sit around waiting to hear back from them. Keep looking for something else, and worry about them if/when they get back to you.

I know it sounds crazy, but we ended up giving an internship to a student who followed up 12 times. We responded to him a lot like this, with timeline adjustments and not ready to commit, and he stayed persistent. Also especially since this is for the summer...if you're in the US that means summer is still a while away so they probably do not have urgency for this. But no matter which country you're in, follow up! Good job!
