No word after second interview, time to move on?

| I had a phone interview in April, and a second phone interview two weeks ago. Both seemed to go well. At the end of the second interview, when I inquired about next steps, the interviewer said that interviewer one was in charge of next steps and would be in touch. I immediately sent thank you emails, and one week after the second interview, followed up with the first interviewer to ask about their anticipated timeline/next steps. It's been two weeks since the second interview and one week since my follow up email and I've heard nothing. I know that in theory, there are countless possible explanations for the lack of communication but I'm mentally preparing for a let down. If I had a chance I would have heard something by now, right? |

| Some companies take a very long time. Still with that said, you should have moved on after the first contact. Keep searching until you accept an offer. |

No, not necessarily but you should keep searching. |

| If this is government, no telling! My spouse got radio silence for a month, was told no when inquired, then hired out of the blue a few weeks later. |

| I've interviewed for two jobs in the past few months where they said I would hear in the next week and no word literally months later. I called both to confirm I was no longer under consideration, and they both said I was but the process was taking longer than anticipated. I can't say I'm overly optimistic on either, but I wouldn't assume you're out of the running entirely. |

| THey all lie and say you will hear back, but they only call if they are offering the job. Otherwise, they ghost you. |
