[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, unless you have something concrete to add (like another offer putting pressure on your timeline) I would not check in. Maybe if it gets to be three weeks past what they initially told you.

I know this is hard to do, but employers move at their own pace [b]and they aren't going to forget to inform you of their decision[/b]. Read through Ask A Manager for more insight and really great advice: http://www.askamanager.org/

I have only received offers over the phone, with a formal letter following via email or in person.

[b]It would be nice if this were always true, but unfortunately it's not.  Employers "forget" (read: don't bother) all the time.[/b]  I've had it happen a number of times as a job seeker.  They were usually positions that I was not particularly interested in, and/or I felt the interview didn't go well, so I didn't follow up.  As a hiring manager who is currently hiring, I found out recently that our HR did not pass on a rejection to a candidate after we told her to (it's our protocol here to have those things go through HR).  This was at least a month after the woman interviewed, and we knew the day after her interview that we were not going to continue the process with her.

That said, I would give it a bit more time, unless like PP said you have another offer to consider.  Maybe give it two weeks from the interview until you follow up.  GL!

Fair point, and I have unfortunately seen that as well. What I was hoping to convey is that they won't forget to tell you if they've selected you, and until that, you should just proceed as if they haven't and keep applying, interviewing, etc. [/quote]
