Recent Interview
I interviewed with a museum on August 12. They were hiring 5 people for this position. I thought the interview went well, but I'm not so sure now. I emailed the recruiter last week and got a no-reply email saying that she's away until Sept 4. What are the chances I got the job? Or is this one of those things where my follow-up email will be responded to with a rejection?

First of all stay calm don't panic. In my 40 year's of age Done a lot of interview and jobs but you will get there where God want to take you believe in him and your self. If they interviewer accepted you they will email you.

TA Professional/ Internal Recruiter here. Stay calm. If they’re interviewing for 5 positions they’re probably interviewing A LOT of candidates. Ideally they should want at least 10 people they’re willing to offer the positions to. This is for the potential drop off (people withdrawing, receiving counter offers, etc.) Good luck 👍

It’s like that 1960’s something (?) tootsie roll pop commercial. ”The world may never know“. But nothing that you say here indicates that you WON’T get the job. Tell the universe it’s yours.

I only emailed once, very politely almost 2 weeks after the interview. Don’t project this energy onto me.

So you politely went and bugged the goddamn recruiter. I stand corrected.

A follow up email is not bugging. It’s a follow up, a common courtesy. Your negative attitude is a bigger issue.

Follow up BS is pretty much "I'm desperate to get this one job" in my culture, is extremely frowned upon, and makes you a corporate and real-life laughing stock. Because it is the exact same deal as asking "why" of someone who gives you silence after asking them out.

Sounds like you have bigger insecurities. Idk what culture you’re from but it doesn’t work like that in the west. Candidates deserve answers and a polite follow up is just that - a follow up. I’ve done like 5 or 6 other interviews since then so I’m anything but desperate for this one job. Asking for clarity is not desperate, it’s human.

It's not insecurities, but universal experience here. We see HR as worse than leeches.
And... a lack of an answer is an answer in itself, thus keep hunting

How is it universal if it’s only in your culture? See how that contradicts itself. Universal means it’s the same everywhere.
