Job interview 1 week ago heard nothing? bad sign?

delta4

I am not sure it went very well but I have not heard nothing. I was told they were still interviewing. but I thought I would hear by the end of the week. They told me they would call second interviews for personality tests but I have heard nothing about that. I feel a rejection letter coming. I feel like it would have suited me so much but I guess everything happens for a reason. I am working but for health reasons need to get out of my current job.

Hi Delta4, I hate the waiting as well. I had a second interview last Tuesday which instead of being the 90 minutes the agency said it would be, lasted less than 20 minutes and was actually just a meet and greet with the Director.

Still had no feedback. Last week I thought no news was good news (chased the agency on Thursday). Today I'm not positive at all!.

Are you going to contact them to see what's happening?

Yep its a goner, As I've learned with this job hunting process things rarely go the way you want, you could phone them but in my experience you haven't made it.

I am not sure. I would rather get my rejection by post then chase them up? too scared? are you? I wish you luck..

The no news is good news is bull when it comes to job hunting unfortunately.

say it like it is. I thought as much too. I am not hopeful but I find that is the game really. Would be nice to hear though. When you take the time to go to the interview.

In past experiences I have to agree. Thinking back not hearing anything is not good news but not impossible.

Yeah but I guess with the amount of people applying for jobs these days it may be hard to let everyone know, for what its worth any job I have applied for 90% have let me know if I didn't get it but it may be a couple of weeks later.

My friend has been unemployed but got two job offers so not impossible. maybe depends where you live too? How many people do you reckon are applying for each job role?

This will all depend on where you live, if you live in an area with not many jobs you could expect hundreds.

Sorry but there is a world of difference between not letting someone know when they've sent in an application (rather rude not to but with lots of applicants for jobs-almost-understandable) BUT if you've invited someone to give up their time to visit you for an interview then not letting them know one way or the other is arrogent-discourteous and speaks volumes about the company and their attitude to people.
