So, I interviewed last week and I thought it went well...

I made my interview on- time after a lengthy flight, sent my thank-you card that evening, and then called HR and the Asst Manager to express my interest a few days after the interview. The only feedback I received after I called to express my interest was "OK," and "Happy Holidays" (from the asst manager). I haven't heard from HR. It's been a week and I haven't heard anything. I thought the interview went exceptionally well. And I have plenty of experience, too. Any advice?

I would give it more time. A friend just got a job offer after having interviewed at the beginning of November.

I just made contact with the nurse recruiter about the timeline. She said they are still interviewing and encouraged me to look at other hospitals and "not put all your eggs in this hospitals basket."

I have nobody to be upset with except myself, and I must say I am really mad at myself for even going to this interview now. It cost me hundreds of dollars in flight/hotel expenses. I tried to get HR to conduct a phone interview, but she wouldn't do it, so I flew in for the interview. I guess I thought it would show how much I want the job and would put me at the top of the list. I have plenty of experience, a BSN, and I interviewed well. Lesson learned.

Don't be too hard on yourself because even a great phone interview would rarely trump a decent in person interview imo. You will find your spot, this just wasnt it. Hang in there and please keep us posted. Jules
