Job Interview Questions: Average time to wait for a job offer after an interview?

About a week and a half ago I had a job interview for a "team member" position at caribou coffee. I thought that it went pretty well but I still haven't gotten a response. Do you think that I should give this one up and apply for a different job, or is there still hope for a reply?
Thanks!

What To Do And Not To Do In A Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
I don't know if I would send a thank you letter now (like someone mentioned above). It has been a week. Those should be sent right away. You never know, you might still get the job. Some companies schedule either a few days or few weeks of job interviews. So I personally won't say “no you aren't going to get the job,” but I wouldn't count on it either.

Start applying for more jobs again; have a backup plan just in case.

Good luck!

Job Interview Preparation - The Tips & Tricks You Need to Know

• It depends. Give it a week, no sooner, no less. But, make SURE to send a thank you note - they didn't have to interview. And it shows your good nature and that the job is important to you . Never overlook this detail!
  
  After a week, send a brief, polite, non-pushy email to the person you have been corresponding with to set up the interview and ask them what the status is and that you are "still very interested" in the job:)
  
  Hope this helps!


• One overlooked thing that most job seekers over look is the follow up. It is so simple to drop a little post card or letter that thanks your potential employer for the interview. I guarantee 90% of your competition did not do this. Do you think this would separate you from the rest that may be applying for the same job. You have to be a bit different. You have to be remembered when you are competing for a job in today's market.
  
  I would even take it a step further and ad a little humor. Attach a coffee bean to your card and write something like "I've BEAN thinking of our interview" Thanks Again for the opportunity.
  
  Dare to be different.


• It's possible they are lazy and slow so they maybe interviewed people for a full week and require another week to decide. If you don't hear back after 2 weeks have passed, i would certainly give up.
  
  But still.. they should have found someone by now, so i would say the odds of you getting the job are not very good.


• Hi! As a professional chef and graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts I recommend always to follow-up immediately with a thank you letter. Thanking the employer for taking time to interview you. After that I would give them the end of the week before I would do a personal follow-up. In other words? Go there now! Its been too long!! lol I hope this helped. Good luck!


• For a "team member" position at a coffee place, it shouldn't take more than a few days. Sorry.


• ring them up and ask them - that wya they will know you are still interested
  
  they may have interviewed a few applicants who were quite good
  
  keep applying for jobs in the meantime though


• Less than one week
