It is believed that the employer must necessarily inform the candidate of the results of the interview, whatever they may be. Alas, this often does not happen. Employers explain their silence in different ways: lack of time, lack of ability to ring up a large number of candidates, etc. But what should applicants do in this case, does prolonged silence mean refusal? Should I take the initiative? Work recommends an analysis of the overall situation.
How did everything go
Remember all the questions during the interview, your answers, the interviewer's reactions and, based on this, evaluate your chances of success. If you understand that everything went not so smoothly, then waiting for an answer will be less painful. If everything went well enough and the interviewer's reaction was positive, it is worth taking the initiative.
According to psychologists, forming an opinion about the candidate takes several minutes. During the rest of the conversation, the interlocutor confirms it or tries to refute it. If the interview is long enough and takes place in a positive atmosphere, this means that the interviewer wants to get to know you as a specialist and the person as a whole. In this situation, your chances are high enough, if after that there will be a long silence - you should call first.
Difficult decision
According to statistics, hiring takes about seven days. But there are frequent exceptions. For example, the selection of candidates in several stages, the implementation of test tasks, multiple interviews with different representatives of the company. In these cases, employment can be very delayed, especially if a large number of candidates are involved. With such a load, the employer may really not have enough time to call everyone, you can also be left “for later” and recruited later if a more suitable candidate is not found. In this situation, it is also worth contacting the employer yourself, because you have gone through a lot and you need to know the exact answer in order to move on.
Initiative
Remember that you do not have to go to extremes. Do not constantly call the employer, as well as quietly and patiently wait for an answer if the work really interests you. Tactfully remind yourself if the employer has not fulfilled the promise to call you back. Also, during the waiting period, do not stop searching for other opportunities.
