How many weeks after an interview should you hear back?
As a rule of thumb, you’re advised to wait 10 to 14 days before following up. It’s not uncommon to wait for a few weeks before hearing back from your interviewer. Calling too often can make you look needy and high maintenance.
What does it mean if an interviewer says they will call you?
If they wanted you they will hire you on the spot. If they want to consider other applicants they’ll have everyone come in for an interview at the same time, not individually. “we’ll call you” means “we are not going to hire you”. So start looking for a new job.
When do you find out if you got the job after the interview?
