Job Interview Questions: How long should I wait after a job interview before I call them and ask about the job?

It has been a week since the interview and I know I did not get the job. A few people have told me that it is MY responsibility to call them but I think it is indecent to string people along like this-I am sure they informed the person who got hired so why not do the right thing and call the others? Anyway, how long should I wait before I pathetically call and ask about the job?

Will What You Wear for a Job Interview Help You Pass the 2 Minute Test?

Recommended Answer:
you should be able to call on a 'follow up' to see if a decision has been made for the

job you applied for...........within 5/7 business days....should be able to do this twice

without its being a problem....after that I wouldnt do it/they can contact you/they have your

info....

and you're right, but seldom is that done anymore/you are not given that courtesy; they have found

that certain people cant handle the info given in the call and will under stress, go crackers......and

they dont want to be the cause of it,directly.

• maybe you should get some self respect and stop saying things like " how long should I wait before I pathetically call and ask about the job"


• Wait a few more days, then call and ask if they have come to a desision yet. Don't demand anything though
