I did second interview on Dec 16th and they said they are gonna let me know by the new year. I have not heard back from them and I understand that it's long holiday. But tmrw will be the last day they work. Should I email or call them and be like happy new year and ask about my role or just wait for them til 1/1
Thank you for your advice !
p.s interview went well tho
It kind of depends on the industry, how many people will need to discuss before the hire and how many people were interviewing for the job they may have to compare 3 or more candidates and that takes time. How long did they have off for the holidays? Many take a week off or longer... As Christmas fell on a Wednesday they may have taken the 24th through the 1st. I would wait until the end of the week this week. However, it is appropriate to send a thank you, holiday card or give a phone call following up on the interview. That is part of interview etiquette so that would not be out of line.I wouldn't directly ask about your role, but you could mention something like "looking forward to speaking with you about becoming part of the _____ team" etc. Hope this helps... it's a sticky situation, but one I have been in before.
You are welcome! Since they had a lot of candidates they probably underestimated how long the process would take. Ten 2nd interviews plus discussing top candidates takes time and a lot of people to decide and many were likely off for the holidays. I would give it until Friday. Since you already thanked them for the 2nd interview I'd wait a bit longer before seeking them out. If you don't hear back this week, then it may be they went with someone else. At that point, on Monday or Tues of next week you could call to follow up and see if the position has been filled. There's not much to lose if they say yes, another opportunity will come along. If they say they are still considering I don't see much harm in asking, it lets them know you are still interested and available. But don't nag too much before then, may be a turn off. Lol you could even have a friend call to see anonymously "has the marketing position been filled?" and not leave a name. If you were desperate but wait til next week. A lot of companies like to wait til a new fiscal year for hires for tax purposes and budgeting too, so keep that in mind. Good Luck!
Thank you sooooo much
so you dont think I have to email them and be like happy new year something like that ? just wait til this week?
Thank you so much for your answer
Just want to ask more about question for you.
they have 10pple and I was the first person had second interview at that moment and they said since they have lots of candidates they arr gonna let me know by the new year. the position is marketing coordinator which they have only one open position for now.
I was afraid that it's too much if i send an email to them. coz I emailed thank you twice( first interview and second). If it's still okay to email, would you mind if i ask your idea about whole emaili comment that I have to send.
something like you mentioned "looking forward to ~"
Thank you so much for your help.
I have been waiting for andwers for that question and no one tells me like that detail and give me a good comment
Have a good one
