[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to make sense of a seemingly dead-in-the-water interview process.  Things seemed to be going well - perfect fit for the job, hiring manager excited, talked money/hours/etc. and were on the same page.  Seemed like an offer was imminent.  But hiring manager asked me to meet with someone (at my level) that I would be working with (again, signaling that the job was to be mine).  After that meeting (which seemed to go well enough...but this person seemed a bit territorial about any new-hire), I have literally not heard anything from anyone at the firm!  I followed up with a thank you to the colleague-level person.  I waited a few days and then followed up with the hiring manager.  I have heard nothing from either one.  It has been just over two weeks.

I don't know what to make of this.  Does anyone have any advice.  I feel like I can't reach out to the hiring manager again b/c that might look weird or inappropriate.  I can't reach out to the colleague level person (after all, he might have torpedoed my chances with the firm for all I know).  There is not HR person in the loop b/c of the size of the firm.  My instinct is that the colleague-level guy sunk my chances somehow, but I do feel like the hiring manager owes me a call after having been so positive about my options.  Am I off base?  Is this type of radio silence normal if a firm changes their mind about a job candidate?

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.[/quote]
