[quote=Anonymous]While I think it's courteous to promptly inform an interviewee of the results of an interview, I don't see evidence of anyone being jerked around.  I've had my share of federal and private sector jobs and have been a hiring manager.  Depending on your field and qualifications, you are either pursuing a job or are being pursued.  Sometimes the process takes a long time for reasons other PPs have noted.  In any case, it's an opportunity for the interviewer and interviewee to get to know each other.  An interview is an opportunity not just for the job you're interviewing for but for other jobs the organization may have.  It's a way to develop a relationship.  I've had interviews and communications with a company for almost a year but never was offered a job.  Nothing personal about it, they just didn't have a position at the compensation level I required.  But, they did pass my resume to another company they were working with on a federal project and I was hired by that company.  I was eventually hired by the federal agency but that process took a good 10 months.  I was very glad that I maintained a positive relationship with that first company or I wouldn't be in the great position I'm in now.  It's all about finding the right fit in the right organization and sometimes that takes a while or just doesnt' happen.  [/quote]
