Job Interview Questions: Job Interview Follow-Up?

I had a job interview on Monday and I think it went really well. After about an hour and a half the hiring manager then took me out to the floor and introduced me to some people with whom I'd be working with. The hiring manager then took me to his desk and was showing me the what my duties would be in detail and was also showing me internal accounting systems which I thought was a good thing since this was a management position at a bank and usually I wouldn't think you would bring an interviewee onto the floor and show them your systems in detail. After this the manager told me that I was the only individual being considered for the position. He advised me he was going to be talking to his boss that day regarding the interview and they would be in contact with me. After I left I immediately sent a thank you e-mail to this individual. I was really thinking I would have heard something back by now, I do have the phone number for this individual and I was wondering how long should I wait or if I should call to follow-up. This position is located in a different state and I would need a little time to get my life together as they wanted someone to start in this position by Sept 26. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

How To Ace Your Next Job Interview - What They Don't Tell You

Recommended Answer:
I would advise contacting them as soon as possible. Don't be overbearing, but they will understand that you need to know what the status is on their decision.

Also, on a side note, your thank-you email was a good follow up, but I would recommend next time you leave an interview, follow up with a hand written letter. Those are taken much more serious and personal when they see that you took the time to sit and write them a personal card. Just a suggestion.

Hope it works out for you!

Myths About The HR Professional As The Candidate In The Job Interview

• You have no idea how many hoops some managers have to jump through to make an offer. HR, Payroll, legal, the VP of this, the VP of that, and the secretary that really knows what is going on. It varies from company to company, but the process could be anything from an offer at the interview (it happened to me) to weeks.
  
  Give them at least a full week (COB next Monday) before calling them back and asking them where they are in the process,
