A question to my wise flist:

[ridicully]

After a job interview is it expecting too much to be somehow notified if one got the job? I can deal with not being accepted just fine, but I'd like to actually *know* not to infer it from not hearing anything for nearly two weeks. Just a simple email: "We're sorry, you are not what we're looking for"? Is that asking for too much? Is that just not How It Is Done? Am I just hopelessly naive?
I'm completely serious in asking here. Applying to jobs is just nothing I know anything about.

This entry was brought to you by my abused fingernails and my inability to put contingency plans into action without concrete facts.

Sometimes after the first round of interviews, they get a candidate, and then the person changes their mind.

Sometimes they decide they aren't sure and want to look at a few more people.

In those cases, they might later come back to you or ask you for a 2nd interview. So unless they call to tell you you're it, it's usually a case of limbo.

It's really good to know that, thanks.
